We have been using Botox for over 15 years. Since its 2002 FDA approval for cosmetic use, we have seen a dramatic
increase in interest in this product. We are now using Botox not only for glabellar furrows (frown lines) but also
for forehead lines, crow’s feet lines and some lines around the lower face. Botox can also be used to decrease
excessive sweating in the underarms and palms. Dr. Wieder is also using Dysport, another form of botulinum toxin which
has been safely used in Europe for many years. Other forms of
botulinum toxin will become available in the near future. These products will allow us to further fine tune our
treatments and perhaps, prolong their effect.
Dr. Wieder has been invited to lecture on the safe and proper use of Botox at the American Academy of Dermatology Annual
Meetings in 2008 and 2009. Dr. Wieder has been appointed to the Botox Cosmetic NEF (National Education Foundation), providing
educational opportunities nationwide for others to learn proper injection technique. He also has been recognized as a
Gold level member with the Botox Cosmetic Physicians Network based on his skills and number of patients he has treated.
