WRINKLE RELAXERS

BOTOX Cosmetic is an injectable treatment made from botulinum toxin type A, a substance which temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for causing lines and wrinkles to form. When BOTOX is injected into the face or neck, it alleviates lines and wrinkles as well as tightening sag along the jawline. When used alongside dermal fillers, like Juvederm, and fat melting injectable Kybella, we can improve your results even further, providing an even smoother jawline One BOTOX injection treatment will last three to four months and can help with a variety of cosmetic and medical concerns.

What to Expect From Your Consultation and BOTOX Treatment at Facial Aesthetics By Andrea

During your consultation, your Injection Specialist will listen to your concerns and examine the areas you wish to address. As BOTOX is an injectable prescription treatment, you must provide us with your full medical history during this visit. We require a full list of your prescriptions, over-the-counter medications, supplements, family history, and personal health history. If it is determined that BOTOX is right for you, we will provide you with an overview of your treatment plan as well as an estimate.

Every new patient can expect to see one of our injectors for a comprehensive free consultation. the first appointment is approximately 45 minutes to an hour for novice users. this time is used to educate the patient about their treatment options and to discuss expectations. We will also provide treatment at the same time if requested. All new patients receive a phone call at 2 weeks to check on the results of their inital treatment. Your expectations being met are important to us. Visits every 3-4 months are recommended to maintain results.

Here are some common uses of BOTOX

 

Frown Lines/11s

If you’re bothered by those frown lines between your eyebrows (also known as the 11s or your “angry lines”) , BOTOX Cosmetic can help. When injected into the muscles, these lines temporarily relax and smooth the area, providing you with a more youthful appearance and less “perma-scowl.”

Forehead Lines

Those horizontal lines across your forehead, caused by repeated expressions, are another early sign of facial aging. As we age, these lines become deeper and more pronounced. When retreated every three to four months, BOTOX Cosmetic can smooth and soften these lines and even help to slow their progression over time.

Crow’s Feet

Crow’s feet form at the corner of your eyes from years of laughing, smiling, and squinting. Like the others areas of your face, repeated use of these facial muscles cause these lines to develop. BOTOX Cosmetic can soften crow’s feet and reduce the effect of time by giving you a natural, youthful appearance that you want around your eyes. Preserve your look with repeated treatments every three to four months.

Brow Lift

One of the most popular treatments at Facial Aesthetics by Andrea, is the BOTOX brow lift.  As we age the forehead muscles weaken which leads to  the brows themselves beginning to sag and become furrowed. The BOTOX brow lift is a cosmetic procedure which can slightly raise sagging eyebrows and reduce the appearance of upper eyelid hooding as well as give you a more awake youthful appearance. A small amount of BOTOX needs to be injected above the lateral aspect of the eyebrows as well as a micro amount into key areas in the glabellar area (frown lines).  The amount of lift you get will vary, depending on your age and tone of the muscles that control the eyebrows.

Jawline Tightening & Contouring

Strategically inject BOTOX Cosmetic into specific muscles in order to lift skin along your jawline to a smoother, more contoured form.

Neck Lift

Relax the muscles to lift and smooth away the signs of an aging neck. BOTOX injected into the vertical neck bands and horizontal neck lines aka “necklace lines” of the neck is a highly effective treatment for aging and mild sagging skin to the neck area.
