Kathleen Blake, M.D.
Comprehensive Ophthalmology
Oculoplastics Specialist

Dr. Kathleen Blake is a board certified Ophthalmologist with a special interest in plastic surgery of the eye, BOTOX and Microdermabrasion.

Many patients come to see Dr. Blake when they want to look as good, or as young, as they feel but their eyes and upper facial area just won't cooperate. For many people, full plastic surgery of the face just isn't an option - due to fear and/or cost. At Larson Eye Center we can help patients accomplish their goal of looking younger by offering several products and procedures designed to let you "put your best face forward".

BOTOX®

BOTOX® , a derivative of Botulinum A, is a protein that weakens and inactivates muscles that wrinkle the skin. It was first used in 1973 to help patients with essential blepharospasm (uncontrolled blinking), "crossed eyes" and facial tics. Now, it has gained popularity as an FDA-approved cosmetic agent used to get rid of unwanted facial wrinkles.

Wrinkles and frown lines on the forehead, glabellar area (area between the eyebrows) and crowsfeet (wrinkles at the outside corners of the eye) can all be reduced or eliminated with BOTOX® injections. The injections usually last between 3 - 6 months. The effects are usually seen with 24 hours, but may take up to a week to see the full benefit.

Here's what some of our patients have to say about it:

"BOTOX® treatments are amazing. Not only are the wrinkles between my eyebrows gone,
but my chronic headaches are gone too!"

"It's fabulous! My crowsfeet are gone!"

"I had really deep lines on my forehead that I used to hide by wearing bangs. Now I can
wear my hair back and not worry that people are staring."
