Botox Injections

Botox injections are a non-surgical cosmetic solution designed to temporarily relax the muscles responsible for fine lines and wrinkles. Commonly used to treat frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead wrinkles, Botox also offers therapeutic benefits, such as managing excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), chronic migraines, and muscle spasms. By targeting specific muscle activity, Botox injections provide a natural-looking, refreshed appearance.

Our Botox treatments are $10 per unit plus tax, providing an affordable option for rejuvenating your appearance.

Good candidates for Botox are individuals who are looking to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, particularly around the forehead, eyes, and mouth. Botox is ideal for those in good health and who have realistic expectations for the results. It is also suitable for individuals dealing with medical conditions like excessive sweating, migraines, or muscle spasms.

Botox risks include:

• Bruising
• Under correction (not enough effect) or overcorrection (too much effect)
• Facial asymmetry (one side looks different than the other)
• Paralysis of a nearby muscle leading to: droopy eyelids, double vision, inability to close an eye, difficulty whistling or drinking from a straw
• Generalized weakness
• Permanent loss of muscle tone with repeated injection
• Flu-like syndrome or respiratory infection
• Nausea or headache

Botox treatments may not be suitable for individuals who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain neurological conditions. It is also not recommended for those with allergies to any of the ingredients in Botox, or those with active skin infections at the treatment site. People with a history of muscle or nerve disorders, such as ALS or myasthenia gravis, should avoid Botox.

BOTOX® Cosmetic effects vary from person to person, but usually last for approximately three to four months. As the effects gradually wear off, muscle activity in the treated area returns, and wrinkles and fine lines progressively reappear. Our nurse injector can help you determine a timeline for your BOTOX® Cosmetic sessions to help you enjoy the benefits of the treatment for as long as possible.

You can expect to see results in as little as 2 days, but full results typically take up to 14 days.

Botox treatments are minimally painful for most patients. The injections use a very fine needle, and any discomfort is typically mild and brief. Some people describe the sensation as a slight pinch or sting. To enhance comfort, a numbing cream or ice pack may be applied to the treatment area beforehand. Overall, Botox is considered a quick and tolerable procedure with little to no downtime.

Botox injections prevent the release of acetylcholine, temporarily preventing treated muscles from contracting. This lack of contraction significantly reduces the appearance of wrinkles and facial creases, making Botox a popular cosmetic injectable.

Botox is primarily used on the face to address fine lines and wrinkles. Botox can be effectively used on the forehead, eye area, lip lines, chin, and jaw.
