Wrinkle-Free Wednesdays

Just a quick historical note on Botox. Years ago, Dr. Hilinski came up with a Botox promotional called wrinkle-free Wednesdays, which was intended to give special pricing to San Diego Botox patients who scheduled on Wednesdays. By having so many Botox patients come in on one day - our office schedule and flow was made much easier.

Lower Eyelid Filler Injection

What is Dr. Hilinski's favorite injectable filler for under the eyes? For many years it was Restylane - as many of you San Diego patients know from having your lower eyelids rejuvenated.
