BOTOX® Cosmetic

SMOOTH FINE LINES & RELAX WRINKLES

For skin etched with crow’s feet around the eye area or stress wrinkles on the forehead and between the eyebrows, now is the time to let go of the lines while releasing muscle tension. We offer BOTOX Cosmetic, the first FDA-approved to temporarily relax moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead lines. This treatment is also effective for treating excessive underarm sweating (hyperhidrosis) and for releasing cord-like bands in the neck.

  1. CONCERN: Lines & wrinkles in areas of expression including the eye area, between the eyebrows, on the forehead and neck area.
  2. TREATMENT TIME: Most sessions are approximately 15 minutes, depending on areas treated.
  3. RESULTS: You will begin to see results within 24 to 48 hours, with the maximum results showing at 14 days.

What is BOTOX®?

BOTOX® (botulinum toxin) is a non-surgical approach to anti-aging that works by temporarily blocking nerve signals in the muscles where it is injected. The result is the smoothing of fine lines and wrinkles, particularly those caused by repeated repetitive facial expressions like squinting, raising your eyebrows, and frowning. These expressions cause the skin to crease slowly over the years. Other conditions treated by BOTOX® include:

  1. Blepharospasm (uncontrollable blinking)
  2. Strabismus (misaligned eyes)
  3. Chronic migraine
  4. Hyperhidrosis (underarm sweating)
  5. Bruxism (grinding of the teeth)

Our experienced providers at SKIN FIVE are here to ensure an effective treatment plan tailored to your specific needs, leaving you feeling rejuvenated without the need for invasive surgery!

How Does BOTOX® Work?

BOTOX® is an injectable made with botulinum toxin. While this toxin can be harmful in large quantities, it has many beneficial applications when used in controlled, diluted amounts. BOTOX® works primarily by blocking nerve signals to the muscles where it is injected, preventing the nerve endings from contracting. By inhibiting muscle contraction, BOTOX® temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles, crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines.

What Areas Can BOTOX® Treat?

BOTOX® is a versatile cosmetic treatment used to address various concerns on the face. Beyond its cosmetic uses, BOTOX® has many medical applications, including the treatment of certain medical conditions like migraines, muscle spasms, and excessive sweating. Cosmetic treatment areas include:

What Are the Benefits of Using BOTOX®?

BOTOX® is very effective at both targeting dynamic wrinkles and offering non-surgical alternatives to more invasive cosmetic procedures. Administered through injections, it eliminates the need for surgical incisions, reducing your downtime and getting you back on your feet in no time.

BOTOX® treatments are also highly customizable. Our experienced SKIN FIVE providers can tailor your injections to treat specific areas of concern, developing a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your personal aesthetic goals.

What You Can Expect From Your Session

Patients can conveniently schedule their treatment session into their lunch break, as BOTOX® typically takes less than 20 minutes to perform, making it a great “lunchtime procedure.” Your SKIN FIVE specialist will discuss your concerns and desired results with you during your session. You can even resume normal activities immediately after your procedure.

During your consultation, your SKIN FIVE provider will discuss your concerns and aesthetic goals with you. After assessing your treatment area and other areas of concern, we will create a personalized treatment plan with the appropriate dosage and injection sites for optimal results.

The effects of BOTOX® are not immediate and may take a few days to become more visible. While the effects of BOTOX® are temporary, they typically last for anywhere from 3-6 months (or more!) depending on the treatment area, leaving you with long-lasting results. Maintenance treatments can be scheduled in advance to maintain your results.

Who Is a Candidate for BOTOX®?

Any healthy adult who wants to rejuvenate their appearance is potentially a good candidate for BOTOX®. This treatment is not recommended for those pregnant or breastfeeding and is not generally suitable for people with certain conditions like myasthenia gravis or Lambert-Eaton syndrome. Some medications may interact with BOTOX®, and candidates should disclose their current medications, including muscle relaxants and medications that interfere with neuromuscular transmission.
