What is BOTOX?
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. These fillers, often made from hyaluronic acid, are designed to mimic the skin’s natural components, providing a rejuvenated appearance without surgery. They attract and retain moisture, plumping the skin from within.
What Does BOTOX Treat?
Dr. Alexander prefers BOTOX to treat the following concerns:
- Forehead Lines: Smooth out the horizontal lines that appear across your forehead with age and repeated expressions.
- Frown Lines (Glabellar Lines): Relax the deep lines between your brows that can give your face a tired or angry appearance.
- Crow’s Feet: Diminish the fine lines around the outer corners of your eyes caused by squinting and smiling.
- Bunny Lines: Soften the lines that form on the sides of your nose when you smile or scrunch your face.
- Lip Lines: Minimize the vertical lines that can appear around the lips, also known as “smoker’s lines.”
- Chin Dimples: Relax the chin to reduce the appearance of dimpling or an “orange peel” texture.
Other examples of what BOTOX can do include the following:
- Lift and reshape the brow
- Sculpt the nose with Liquid Rhinoplasty
- Reverse a down-turned smile
- Reduce the appearance of platysmal bands (muscular cords along the length of the neck)
- Define the neck and jawline
- Counteract a square-shaped jawline
Dr. Alexander also utilizes the effects of BOTOX to help treat the following medical conditions:
- Facial Paralysis
- Blepharospasm and facial tics
- Migraines
- Hypersalivation (excessive saliva production)
- Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating)
- Teeth grinding
What Are the Benefits of BOTOX?
- Quick and Convenient: Treatments take about 10-15 minutes, making fitting into a busy schedule easy.
- Minimal Discomfort: Most patients experience little to no discomfort during the injections, and any mild sensations are temporary.
- No Downtime: You can return to normal activities immediately after treatment, making BOTOX a convenient option for anyone with a busy lifestyle.
- Natural-Looking Results: When administered by an experienced provider, BOTOX delivers subtle, natural results that leave you looking refreshed, not overdone.
- Preventive Effects: BOTOX treats existing wrinkles and can help prevent new lines from forming, keeping your skin smooth and youthful for longer.
- Long-Lasting Results: BOTOX's effects typically last 3-4 months, and regular treatments can maintain and enhance your results.
The BOTOX Treatment Process
Receiving BOTOX is a quick and straightforward process:
- During your consultation, we will assess your skin and discuss your goals to create a personalized treatment plan
- A topical numbing cream may be applied to ensure your comfort, though many patients find the injections tolerable without it
- Dr. Alexander will use a fine needle to administer small amounts of BOTOX into the targeted muscles, the number of which will depend on the areas being treated
- After the treatment, you may experience mild swelling or redness at the injection sites, but these side effects typically subside within a few hours
BOTOX Results and Recovery
After your BOTOX treatment, you can resume your daily activities immediately, though it’s recommended to avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, and rubbing the treated areas for the first 24 hours.
Results usually become noticeable within 3 to 5 days, with full results appearing in about two weeks. Your skin will look smoother, and wrinkles will be diminished.
