Cosmetic Botox® Non-Surgical Injectables
Botox® Cosmetic offers a temporary enhancement in the aesthetic presentation of facial lines and wrinkles. It achieves this by inhibiting the transmission of nerve signals to the muscles responsible for wrinkle formation. This product contains minute quantities of a meticulously purified protein, enabling it to impart a refined and more youthful complexion to the skin. In the realm of cosmetic applications, Botox® primarily serves to ameliorate existing wrinkles and act as a preventive measure against the formation of future ones.
WHAT IS BOTOX®?
Botox® is an injectable treatment sanctioned by the FDA, specifically formulated to induce temporary muscle relaxation in select facial regions. Comprising a safe and minimal dose of botulinum toxin, a meticulously purified protein, Botox®, when administered into the contracted muscles responsible for wrinkle formation, promptly alleviates the appearance of wrinkles and lines, resulting in a rejuvenated and more youthful aesthetic.
Botox® is a viable option for younger patients seeking a proactive approach to thwart the onset of wrinkles. It is particularly favored among individuals who have started to observe the emergence of wrinkles and fine lines and wish to reverse the clock, restoring their skin to a state of smooth and youthful vitality.
What issues can Botox® address?
- Lines on the forehead

- Furrows between the eyebrows
- Lines around the mouth (commonly seen in smokers)
- An excessively “gummy smile”
- Lines on the neck

BOTOX® FAQ's
Botox® procedures are typically completed in under 20 minutes, making it commonly referred to as a “lunchtime treatment.”
Avoid massaging the treated area immediately after the procedure but consider engaging in gentle facial exercises to facilitate even distribution of Botox®. After the Botox® has fully taken effect, ensure adequate hydration, minimize sun exposure, apply moisturizer to your skin, and consider a consistent zinc supplement regimen to extend the anti-aging benefits.
Patients typically report minimal discomfort during the injections. When a topical anesthetic is applied, the procedure is generally painless. Even without a numbing agent, the pain experienced is minimal.
Potential Botox® risks include bruising, muscle weakness, headaches, and rare allergic reactions.
Botox® can cause temporary muscle relaxation, which might reduce facial expressions in some cases, but a skilled injector can ensure a natural look, avoiding a frozen appearance. It’s important to discuss your desired results and concerns with a qualified provider to achieve the outcome you desire.
Botox® is measured in units, priced accordingly. Men may need more units due to stronger muscles. Consultation can determine your specific unit requirement for desired results.
Eligibility for Botox® injections is typically determined through a consultation with our qualified healthcare provider. They will assess your specific needs and medical history to determine if you are a suitable candidate for the treatment.
Botox® requires no downtime, and you can return to your routine immediately. Possible temporary side effects include headaches, eyelid drooping, or bruising. Results become visible in about 2 to 3 weeks and typically last 3 to 5 months, necessitating maintenance.
In the Houston area, you can opt for a Botox® “lip flip” as a filler-free way to enhance your lips. It involves using Botox® to relax the upper lip muscle, creating more volume. This can be done alone or in combination with dermal fillers for extended effects, lasting up to 3 to 4 months.
A “liquid facelift” is a non-surgical procedure using Botox® and dermal fillers to smooth wrinkles, add volume, and lift sagging skin, providing youthful results without the need for surgery.
