What is BOTOX?
Do forehead lines or wrinkles around your eyes bother you when you look in the mirror? These are dynamic wrinkles—caused by everyday expressions like smiling, squinting, or frowning. Over time, they become more pronounced, giving the face a tired or aged look.
BOTOX is a purified form of botulinum toxin type A that temporarily relaxes the facial muscles responsible for these movements. This smooths out moderate to severe frown lines, forehead creases, and Crow’s feet.
At AestheticFX Med Spa, dual-certified nurse practitioner Beverly Farris provides expert BOTOX injections to help you achieve a smoother, more refreshed appearance—without surgery. Contact our Frisco, TX location today to learn how BOTOX can work for you!
Benefits of BOTOX
As we age, collagen loss, sun exposure, and lifestyle factors like smoking accelerate the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. BOTOX offers a minimally invasive solution. Key benefits include:
- No surgery or anesthesia needed
- Quick and convenient treatment sessions
- Minimal to no downtime
- Personalized results based on your goals
Am I a Candidate for BOTOX?
If you’re looking to reduce frown lines, forehead creases, or Crow’s feet, BOTOX could be right for you. It’s ideal for adults seeking a noninvasive treatment to soften dynamic lines. Many individuals in their 20s and 30s even use BOTOX proactively to prevent wrinkles from forming.
How BOTOX Works
During your visit to AestheticFX Med Spa, we’ll evaluate your facial structure and goals to tailor your treatment plan. BOTOX is injected using a fine needle into specific facial muscles. The procedure takes about 10 minutes and causes minimal discomfort—often described as a small pinch.
You can resume most daily activities right away, but we recommend avoiding strenuous activity and not touching the treated areas for 24 hours. Results begin to appear within 48–72 hours and can last up to four months. Beverly will provide a personalized plan for follow-up treatments.
After BOTOX: What to Expect
You may notice mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites—these effects are temporary and typically resolve within 1–2 days. You’ll begin to see results in just a few days, with full benefits lasting about four months. Pricing varies depending on the number of units used, which we’ll review with you during your consultation.
BOTOX FAQs
How many units will I need?
The number of units depends on your facial anatomy and treatment goals. Common areas like the forehead, between the brows, or around the eyes will be evaluated by Beverly to determine the ideal amount. Maintenance is typically every 3–4 months.
Can BOTOX be combined with other treatments?
Absolutely! BOTOX pairs well with dermal fillers and treatments like microneedling with PRP or facials. We’ll create a customized plan based on your skin needs.
Are there alternatives to BOTOX?
Yes. Alternatives like Dysport®, Jeuveau™, and XEOMIN® offer similar benefits with slight differences in onset and diffusion. Beverly will help determine which product best suits your goals.
