BOTOX

That depends on the wrinkles you want to smooth. If you have crow’s feet, creases between your brows (11s), and forehead lines, BOTOX injections genuinely perform. We also offer injections with several other neuromodulators, in addition to several dermal fillers that can help you address other issues in other areas of the face and neck.

If the lines and creases appear on the mid to lower areas of your face, particularly from the nose down to the mouth and chin areas, dermal fillers such as Juvéderm, Restylane, Belotero, Versa, Radiesse, and Sculptra are the right choice. A comprehensive facial rejuvenation treatment can also help.

These lines and wrinkles tend to appear due to sun exposure, declining collagen production, environmental factors, and lifestyle and therefore aren’t the result of muscle contractions. These lines, wrinkles, and creases are called “static wrinkles” and can be effectively addressed with dermal fillers. These treatments are injected beneath the wrinkles, creases, or areas of volume loss to fill the area and smooth away fine lines and wrinkles.

BOTOX has been injected millions of times worldwide, and it has proven to be safe and effective. The only side effects may be some redness and possible slight swelling at the injection sites. Some patients may have a slight headache for a few hours after their injections, but these side effects pass quickly.

The only real risk with BOTOX is when practitioner error causes the treatment to be injected into the wrong muscle, leading to issues like droopy eyelids. Our team is thoroughly trained in BOTOX injections, and bring an extensive knowledge of facial anatomy to the table, so you can be confident in your incredible results!

BOTOX relaxes the muscles it is injected into for about four months. Over time, your system will absorb the now-inert BOTOX, and the muscles will begin to contract again. Another BOTOX session with the team at The Skin Elite will help you maintain your rejuvenated, refreshed look.

BOTOX is injected with a very fine needle just beneath the skin. Our patients tell us it feels like a minor pinprick. The sensation is so minor that there is typically no need for topical numbing cream before your BOTOX injections, although we can provide the numbing cream if you desire. The numbing cream takes about 20 minutes to take effect, adding a little time to your appointment.

BOTOX is frequently known as a “lunchtime procedure” because it takes just ten to fifteen minutes to complete. When our certified nurse practitioners inject BOTOX, they use a very fine needle to keep you comfortable and eliminate the need for any kind of topical numbing cream. Once your injections are completed, you are free to return to work or your usual activities immediately.
