BOTOX Cosmetic is a trusted, nonsurgical treatment to reduce wrinkles and fine lines, giving your skin a smoother, more youthful appearance without surgery or downtime. When administered by our professionals, BOTOX offers a safe and effective way to rejuvenate with results that look natural and seamless.
BOTOX is a brand name for botulinum toxin, a neurotoxin produced by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum. This FDA-approved injectable treatment temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for expression lines, such as forehead creases, frown lines (11s), and crow’s feet.
In addition to treating wrinkles, BOTOX addresses medical concerns like chronic migraines and excessive sweating. It can also improve the appearance of a “gummy smile” and relax overactive jaw muscles to prevent clenching and grinding.
The cost of BOTOX varies depending on factors such as your injector’s experience level and the number of units necessary to achieve your desired results. Combining BOTOX with complementary treatments such as dermal fillers, BBL laser, or microdermabrasion also impacts total cost. We provide financing options that make paying for your treatment more accessible and affordable.
When used in small doses and injected into specific muscles, BOTOX temporarily blocks the signals that control muscle contractions. During this simple and quick treatment, a precise amount of the neurotoxin is expertly injected into targeted facial muscles to smooth away wrinkles and lines.
Depending on the areas you want to treat, the number of injections you receive varies. For example, treating frown lines between the eyebrows may require multiple injections, while crow’s feet may require only a few. BOTOX typically takes just a few minutes, and you can resume most daily activities immediately after treatment.
While BOTOX doesn’t require downtime, there are a few things you should be mindful of after treatment:
It’s essential to note that BOTOX results vary from person to person. Factors such as skin type, age, and the extent of wrinkles or lines affect BOTOX longevity. You can preserve your youthful look by avoiding sun exposure, following a good skin care regimen, and scheduling regular touch-up treatments.
Ideal candidates for BOTOX have moderate lines and wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes. Patients with more pronounced wrinkles and creases may be better candidates for blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) or a brow lift.
Depending on the individual and the treatment area, BOTOX typically lasts 3 to 4 months. Maintenance treatments help you maintain your wrinkle-free look.
BOTOX is generally safe when administered by a trained and licensed aesthetic professional. However, like any medical procedure, there are some potential risks and side effects. Our ACPS injectors are highly trained professionals who prioritize your safety, comfort, and results.
Some BOTOX patients experience mild discomfort during injections, but this is typically very minimal, and treatment is usually well tolerated. Before the injection, your provider usually applies a topical numbing cream or ice to the treatment area to minimize discomfort. Most patients report only feeling a slight pinch or pressure during the injection.
Some common side effects of BOTOX include bruising, swelling, redness, and soreness at the injection site. More serious side effects are rare but can include difficulty breathing, vision changes, or muscle weakness.
BOTOX treats wrinkles and fine lines on the forehead, around the eyes (crow’s feet), and between the eyebrows (frown lines). Some patients also request BOTOX for lips, commonly called a lip flip. It can also be used for medical purposes, such as treating excessive sweating.
It typically takes about 3 to 5 days to see the full effects of BOTOX, but it can take up to 2 weeks for the results to fully develop.
No, BOTOX is not a permanent solution for wrinkles. The effects typically last between 3 to 4 months before a touch-up treatment is needed.
When performed by our experienced providers, BOTOX delivers youthful, natural-looking results that leave you looking refreshed rather than overfilled or frozen. Our injectors use their training and artistry to tailor their techniques to your unique facial anatomy, softening wrinkles and fine lines while preserving your natural facial expressions.
