Botox®
Botox offers the ideal, non-surgical solution for my clients looking to treat common signs of aging – including forehead wrinkles, crow's feet, and frown lines. Wrinkles happen due to various factors as we age, including changes in cells, collagen loss, and damage from free radicals. Botox is injected into these muscles to improve or reduce the appearance of frown lines and wrinkles.
What can Botox treat?
- Smooth away existing wrinkles around the mouth, nose, eyes, forehead, and brow
- Preserve your youthful appearance by preventing new lines and wrinkles
- Define facial characteristics such as the jawline or chin
- Increase the appearance of the upper lip with a Botox “lip flip”
- Reduce underarm sweating (Hyperhidrosis)
- Relax the muscles around the mouth that lead to a “gummy” smile

How does Botox work?
Botox blocks a chemical called acetylcholine, which tells muscles to contract. By injecting Botox into the muscle, it stops the release of acetylcholine, causing the muscle to relax. This relaxation smooths out existing fine lines and wrinkles while preventing the formation of new ones, giving a more youthful appearance. Results last from 3-4 months for most fine line and wrinkles and 6-12 months for Hyperhidrosis (under arm sweating).
Is Botox safe?
Botox has been approved to be used medically since the 1970's. In 2002, the FDA approved treatment for the temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe forehead lines, frown lines, and crow's feet in adult patients.
Am I a good candidate for Botox?
Botox is perfect for healthy individuals looking to address signs of aging who are not pregnant or currently breastfeeding. Botox is not recommended for individuals with certain neuromuscular diseases or conditions.
How does Botox work for excessive sweating?
When administered to the underarms, Botulinum toxin type A, the primary component in Botox, inhibits the binding and presynaptic fusion of acetylcholine and nerve receptors. This effectively hinders the release of acetylcholine, interrupting communication between the limbic system and the brain, and thereby reducing sweat production in the underarms. Over a period of approximately six to twenty-four months, the body naturally absorbs the Botulinum toxin, with minimal to no reported side effects.
What should I expect after my Botox treatment?
You may feel some slight discomfort, tingling, and swelling just after your treatment. This is temporary and should subside in a few days. Avoid touching the treated areas.
