BOTOX® Treatment and Injections in Austin, Texas

Botox Cosmetic is a simple, non-surgical procedure that smooths the deep, persistent lines and wrinkles that develop over time.

Botox is a neuromodulator that utilizes a natural, purified protein administered at very low doses to reduce the contractions of the muscles that cause the persistent frown lines that develop over time. While results are significant, it will not radically change your facial appearance. The muscles are simply relaxed, so you can still frown, smile, or look surprised without the wrinkles and creases. Injecting Botox into targeted facial muscles can minimize even the most stubborn of wrinkles, leaving the skin looking smoother and more youthful.

You will benefit most with a regular maintenance schedule. Most patients refresh their BOTOX® Cosmetic every four to five months.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I expect at my Botox treatment?
Botox procedures are fast, simple, and minimally invasive. No anesthesia or downtime is required. The treatment starts with an in-office consultation where our expert injectors assess patient needs and develop a tailored treatment plan to provide the patient’s desired end results. Botox is then injected into targeted facial muscles using an ultra-fine needle directly into the area being treated.
Where is Botox injected?
Neurotoxins like Jeuveau, Dysport, and Botox are indicated for cosmetic use in the frontalis, glabella, and crows feet, but are utilized every day in cosmetics to create various smoothing, balancing and lifting effects across the face and neck. Read More
