What is Botox?

Botox and Dysport are the most common aesthetic injection treatments performed on women and men. A simple treatment, Botox and Dysport will help maintain your natural youthfulness by smoothing lines and wrinkles of the face. Botox and Dysport are both liquids that are injected into targeted muscles to temporarily reduce or prevent muscle movement. Wrinkles, lines or folds that are caused by these muscle movements are therefore minimized or go away completely.

Botox FAQ

Botox is a brand name neuromodulator, for a cosmetic injectable neuromodulator. Decades ago, researchers found that when injected in small doses, the botulinum toxin temporarily blocks nerve signals in the muscles. Without the nerve signal, the muscle will not move. Over time, approximately 3 months, the botox wears off and the muscle will return to full movement.

 

Other brand names include Dysport, Xeomin Jeauvaeu and Daxxify. Injecting the reconstituted/mixed product in small amounts will relax your muscles by temporarily blocking nerve signals to the muscle. Without the nerve signal, the muscle cannot contract or move.

Botox and Dysport treatments are injected with ultra-fine needles making the treatment relatively pain free.
Botox injections are considered safe when performed by a licensed, and highly skilled, trained and experienced health care provider.

Most people have no downtime following a Botox and Dysport treatment. You should be able to resume your normal activities following the treatment with minimal restrictions. Occasionally pinpoint marks or bruises can be seen after treatment and resolve within days.
Initial results from a Botox or Dysport treatment are seen in three to five days. The completed result can take up to two weeks.
The goal with having a Botox or Dysport treatment is to relax your facial muscles to minimize the wrinkles and fine lines. Our injectors specialize in natural looking outcomes. After receiving treatment, you will maintain a natural, youthful expression and will not lose full expressiveness in the areas treated.  

The main side effect is slight redness and mild swelling at the injection sites. This is temporary and usually resolves in 10-30 minutes. Some people develop a slight headache for 12 hours or so after their session. The main side effect or complication with BOTOX® is when it is injected into an unintended or incorrect muscle and it leads to problems such as a drooping eyelid. This is why it is very important to go to an experienced injector for your BOTOX treatments, to achieve optimal results and avoid complications or incorrect placement of product.
Botox and Dysport treatments are temporary. For optimal results, schedule your treatment every three to four months.
No, Botox should not be used during pregnancy.
Although there is little data on this topic, it is recommended to avoid getting Botox while breastfeeding.
Drinking alcohol after getting Botox will not impact your results, however alcohol can thin the blood and lead to an increase in bruising or swelling post treatment.
It is recommended to avoid exercise for 24 hours following your Botox treatment.

Yes! Botox benefits both men and women looking to maintain a youthful appearance and smooth lines and wrinkles on the face.

How Botox works

Instead of physically adding volume or contouring the way that injectable fillers do, Botox addresses muscles that are causing signs of aging, such as frown lines, forehead lines, crows feet, heavy brows, dimpled chins and neck bands.

When injected by highly trained and experienced Master Injectors (such as those at our med spa in Lakewood Ranch), Botox can look very natural leaving you with movement, but helping you look rested, refreshed and younger. It is also great for prevention of lines, gummy smiles, and TMJ pain.

Botox and similar injectables (Dysport, Xeomin Jeauvaeu and Daxxify) are used to address some of the most prevalent age-related issues for both men and women.

What to Expect

Your provider will start your appointment by discussing your aesthetic concerns and goals.

Next they will ask you to make facial expressions to pinpoint the areas of concern. From here, a customized treatment plan will be made to provide optimal results.

Then, using a fine needle, your practitioner will make quick injections that are typically only mildly uncomfortable.

Following your Botox treatment, you may resume regular activities including washing your face and wearing makeup. It is advised to avoid exercise for the remainder of the day.

Treatment Types

Botox can be used for a variety of aesthetic and non-aesthetic concerns

By far the most common use of Botox is to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the face or other parts of the body. Small amounts of Botox are injected into the target area, helping relax the muscles and smooth out the skin, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

A Lip Flip involves injecting Botox into the muscles around the mouth to help lift and enhance the upper lip. Unlike dermal fillers, which add volume to the lips directly, a Lip Flip is more subtle. Or if you’re looking for something less subtle, lift flips can be combined with dermal fillers for dramatic results. Typically Lift Flips take only a few minutes to perform, and the effects last for several months.

Botox injections can help to reduce the amount of gum that shows when you smile, providing a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing smile. The gummy smile treatment involves injecting small amounts of Botox into the muscles surrounding the mouth. The Botox relaxes these muscles, causing the upper lip to cover more of the gums when you smile. If you’re self-conscious about your gums when you smile, a Botox gummy smile treatment may be a good option to consider.
If you suffer from jaw pain or discomfort caused by TMJ disorder, Botox can be a game-changer. This treatment involves injecting Botox into the masseter muscles, which are responsible for jaw movement and chewing. The Botox works by temporarily paralyzing the muscles, which can reduce tension and pain in the jaw. This can make it easier to eat, speak, and perform other daily activities without discomfort.
A dimpled or “pebbled” chin can be a source of self-consciousness for some people. Fortunately, Botox can help smooth out the appearance of the chin by relaxing overactive muscles in the area. It’s a simple and effective treatment that can give you a more even-looking chin.
A brow lift is used to lift and shape the eyebrows. Small amounts of Botox are injected into the muscles around the brows causing the muscles that pull them down to relax, resulting in a lifted and more youthful appearance.
A nasal tip lift involves injecting small amounts of Botox into the muscles that pull down on the tip of the nasal. This helps to lift the tip of the nose, resulting in a more defined and refined look.
Nasal slimming is used to slim the appearance of the nose by injecting small amounts of Botox into the muscles that widen the shape of the nose. This can help create a more slim, balanced refined look.
A nostril flare treatment involves injecting small amounts of Botox into the muscles that pull on the nostrils, resulting in a more relaxed and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
Platysmal bands are the vertical bands that can appear on the neck as a person ages. Botox can be used to soften the appearance of these bands by injecting small amounts into the muscles that create them.
If you suffer from hyperhidrosis, Botox injections can help to reduce the amount of sweat you produce. Botox injected directly into the sweat glands temporarily blocks the nerve signals that cause the glands to produce sweat. This can significantly reduce excessive sweating in the underarm area and increase your confidence.
