Smooth Away Facial Lines With BOTOX

The active ingredient in BOTOX smooths away facial lines by temporarily halting contractions of the underlying muscles. Relaxing overactive facial muscles allows the overlying skin to become smoother, creating a refreshed, more youthful look.

What are the Benefits of BOTOX Injections?

Neuromodulators such as BOTOX work by temporarily blocking nerve signals that tell your muscles to contract. This helps relax the muscles and smooth out wrinkles caused by repetitive muscle activity. Although your results will not radically change your facial appearance, you will look more rested and rejuvenated. In addition to its wrinkle-reducing benefits, BOTOX can be used for:

Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating)
TMJ issues
Gummy smiles
Dimpled chins
Crepey skin

How Does BOTOX Work?

At Austin Plastic Surgery Institute, BOTOX® Cosmetic is one of the most popular nonsurgical treatments for correcting fine lines and wrinkles caused by laughing, smiling, squinting, and other facial expressions over the years. BOTOX Cosmetic reduces the muscle contractions that cause furrows and fine lines on your face as you are making expressions. Sometimes the lines on our faces can make us look tired and older. BOTOX Cosmetic is a quick and easy way to fix the problem areas on your face, including frown lines, smile lines, crow’s feet, forehead lines, “elevens” and many more.

Administering BOTOX

BOTOX is administered during an in-office appointment that typically takes about 30 minutes. The depth, length, quantity, and location of wrinkles vary for each patient. Therefore, the injection treatment, including the dosage and injection location, is tailored during the procedure. Patients will be marked for the specific areas on the face that are going to be treated. The injection is given through a syringe to localized areas on the face. Patients will feel a small prick as the needle inserts through the skin, but any pain or discomfort is controlled with a cold compress.

What to expect?

Immediately following a series of BOTOX in Austin with our team, you may have some mild swelling and redness at the injection site. This will subside a few hours after the procedure. Patients can resume their normal activities immediately, but exercise should be avoided for a few hours. It is also recommended that clients keep their heads elevated for the first eight to ten hours. Results following BOTOX will become apparent within four to seven days. About a week after treatment, the smoothing effect appears, leaving you looking younger and refreshed.

BOTOX® FAQs

Is BOTOX safe?

BOTOX is approved by the FDA and has a long, safe history. It is administered in over 75 countries and consistently ranks as the most popular cosmetic procedure in America. However, even with its popularity, BOTOX is a drug and should only be administered by a qualified medical practitioner. Individuals who receive injections by someone inexperienced run the added risk of bruising, over-medicating, and ultimately, obtaining an undesirable result.

Is BOTOX the best option for me?

In 2009, BOTOX gained competition when Dysport was developed, approved by the FDA, and made available to the general public. Both injectables are used to relax the facial muscles that cause wrinkles and frown lines. Both injectables have their advantages. Some distinct differences can be discussed during your consultation, and why we would advise one over the other.

BOTOX or filler?

Dermal fillers are used to fill deeper static lines (lines that are still seen when the face is at rest) or to add volume or enhance features like lips or cheeks. Botox, on the other hand, works to target dynamic lines caused from repetitive muscle movement by temporarily freezing facial muscles. Our nurses will be able to determine if a filler or a product like BOTOX is ideal for you, or a combination.

What is the best age for BOTOX?

Individuals who wish to soften and decrease facial lines and wrinkles may be candidates for BOTOX. The most common age to receive BOTOX injections is between 30-55. However, it is also common for clients younger and older to receive injections.

How long does BOTOX last?

Most patients enjoy the results of BOTOX for about 3 to 4 months, although this can vary depending on metabolism, muscle strength, and treatment area. With regular maintenance treatments, many patients find their results last longer over time. At Austin Plastic Surgery Institute, our experienced injectors customize every treatment plan to help you maintain natural-looking, consistent results.

What areas can BOTOX treat besides forehead wrinkles?

BOTOX is commonly used to treat forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines, but it can also address several other cosmetic and medical concerns. Popular treatment areas include bunny lines on the nose, chin dimpling, lip lines, jaw slimming, gummy smiles, neck bands, TMJ discomfort, and excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis). During your consultation, our team will determine which areas are best suited for your aesthetic goals.

How much does BOTOX cost in Austin?

The cost of BOTOX in Austin depends on the number of units needed, the treatment area, and your desired results. Some patients may only need a small amount for preventative treatments, while others require additional units for stronger facial muscles or multiple areas. At APSI, we create personalized treatment plans designed to achieve balanced, natural-looking results while helping patients understand exactly what to expect before treatment begins.
