According to Allergan, makers of Botox, Dr. Riopelle and Donna Riopelle are the # 1 users of Botox on the campus of the San Ramon Regional Medical Center and in the San Ramon area (see Botoxcosmetic.com website physician referal listing.)

Botox originally got its start as a treatment for frown lines and wrinkles. In addition to the frown lines and crow’s feet, we use Botox to turn a downturned mouth into a smile. We also use Botox for wrinkles in the upper and lower lips, for wolf’s lines on the nose, for chin dimples, for forehead lines, for the neck to improve those droopy muscular wrinkles, for excessive sweating, for headaches, and for stiff neck.

Dr. Riopelle and Donna Riopelle have been awarded the Gold award several times, and in 2007 and 2008 received the platinum, the highest award given by the Botox Physicians Network for their expertise in treating with Botox.

As one of the foremost authorities on Botox, Dr. Riopelle frequently trains phisicians and nurses in the latest techniques in the use of Botox. He has produced an advanced training video for physicians.
