Botox
In using the finest needles along our powerful topical anesthesia, we can demonstrate the painless effects of Botox Botulism. Botox, or botulinum toxin, is a neurotoxic protein derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. When administered in small, controlled doses, it blocks the signals from nerves to muscles, preventing contraction and resulting in a temporary reduction of dynamic wrinkles, such as crow's feet and frown lines. This makes it an attractive option for individuals looking to enhance their appearance without undergoing invasive procedures. The results typically last about three to six months, after which the treatment can be repeated to maintain a youthful look.
How does it work?
The procedure involves a very fine injection into a previously topically fully numb area of a targeted site, where the Clinician carefully assesses the muscle movements to determine the optimal placement. Once injected, Botox takes effect within a few days, as the medication gradually relaxes the muscles. Patients may experience mild discomfort during the procedure, but the recovery is usually quick, with most individuals able to resume normal activities shortly after. With proper administration and aftercare, Botox can achieve natural-looking results that enhance facial features.

FAQs
Our Botox injections are priced at $12 per unit.
Most patients describe the treatment as comfortable. Discomfort is almost none after the special compound topical Anesthetic made just for our clinic by our trusted pharmacist. The injection process itself is typically quick, and the discomfort is often minimal. Topical anesthetic can be applied before the procedure to further minimize any discomfort, and the treatment area is usually numbed with a cold compress before the injections.
The effects of Botox typically last for 3-4 months, although individual results may vary. However, the duration of the effects can be influenced by several factors, including the specific area treated, the individual's metabolism, and the amount of Botox injected. Some patients may experience a longer duration of results, while others may require more frequent treatments to maintain the desired effect.
Common side effects of Botox include temporary redness, swelling, bruising, or pain at the injection site. In some cases, individuals may experience headaches, flu-like symptoms, or temporary asymmetry in the treated area. While these side effects are usually mild and resolve on their own, it's important to consult with a qualified healthcare provider to discuss any concerns or potential risks before undergoing the treatment.
Botox results typically become visible within a few days, with the full effect noticeable within a week. The improvement in the appearance of wrinkles can be gradual, and it may take up to two weeks to see the complete results. However, most patients report a significant reduction in the appearance of lines and wrinkles within the first week of treatment.
