What is Botox?

Over time, facial lines and wrinkles deepen. Botox, or botulinum toxin, offers a solution to these signs of aging by blocking nerve signals to muscles, resulting in less movement and a more relaxed, refreshed appearance.

Injectables: Artistry makes a difference, and our team offers the skill to deliver natural results that turn back the clock. Optum also offers dermal fillers.

Botox is used for multiple areas of the face, including forehead, crow’s feet, brow furrows, frown lines and neck. Botox can also be used to lift the eyebrows and corners of the mouth. You may receive Botox injections alone or combine it with filler to give areas a plump, full appearance. Botox will give you a youthful, refreshed glow with beautiful, natural results.

What are the benefits?

Botox has many advantages. After Botox at Optum Plastic Surgery, you can expect:

  • Smoother skin
  • Reduced lines and wrinkles
  • A more youthful appearance
  • No downtime
  • A radiant glow
  • Beautiful, natural results

Who is the ideal candidate?

Patients with pronounced lines and wrinkles looking for a non-surgical solution are candidates for Botox. Botox can also be used preventatively on younger patients to help prevent and reduce facial wrinkling over time. The ideal candidate is in good health and has realistic expectations about their results.

What can I expect from recovery?

Botox is quickly done in-office with no need for anesthesia. After your Botox, injection sites can be iced to prevent swelling. Bruising may occur, but this is rare and easily covered with makeup. There is no downtime for Botox, and you may resume your normal activity immediately after treatment. Final results are usually seen within three to seven days.

Frequently asked questions

How is Botox administered?

Botox is injected in the skin through small needles at multiple sites throughout the face and neck to target the muscles that cause wrinkles.

What are the risks of Botox?

The main risks of Botox include irritation at the injection site, bruising, asymmetry and diffusion to untreated areas.

How often do I need Botox?

The average duration of Botox and Dysport are anywhere from 3-6 months, depending on the patient. Many people will see their provider every 2-3 months for maintenance injections to maintain their results.
