What Is BOTOX Cosmetic?
BOTOX is the gold standard in wrinkle reduction and facial rejuvenation. Made from a purified protein, it temporarily relaxes targeted facial muscles that cause lines and creases. Treatments take only minutes, and most patients return to work or social activities right away.
What Causes Wrinkles?
Wrinkles form as repeated muscle movements—like squinting, frowning, and smiling—combine with a gradual loss of skin elasticity. By relaxing the overactive muscles that create those creases, BOTOX helps the overlying skin smooth and appear more youthful.
How Does BOTOX Work?
BOTOX temporarily blocks the signal that tells specific facial muscles to contract. As those muscles relax, the skin above them smooths. Most patients notice changes by day three, with a full, natural effect at about two weeks.
Introducing BOTOX Lip Flip
The lip flip uses a few tiny BOTOX injections to relax the muscle that curls the upper lip inward, allowing it to roll gently outward for a subtle, fuller look. It is a nice option for patients who want a soft enhancement without filler. Results typically last two to three months.
Is BOTOX the Same Thing as Dermal Fillers?
No. BOTOX relaxes motion lines caused by muscle activity (frown lines, crow’s feet, forehead lines). Dermal fillers add volume to soften etched lines, restore fullness, and refine contours. Many patients benefit from a personalized plan that uses both in the right places.
Can You Combine Dermal Fillers and BOTOX in Fort Worth?
Yes. Dr. Smith customizes treatment to your anatomy and goals, often pairing BOTOX for expression lines with fillers for volume loss. Contact us to discuss a combined, natural-looking plan.
What Will Happen at My Fort Worth BOTOX Appointment?
You will review your goals with Dr. Smith, who will assess your animation patterns and design precise injection sites and dosing. Treatment typically takes minutes. You can return to normal activities right away and avoid strenuous exercise for several hours.
Do BOTOX Injections Hurt?
Discomfort is minimal. Dr. Smith uses ultra-fine, specialty needles for a quick, precise treatment that most patients describe as a small pinch. For added comfort, options like topical anesthetic or nitrous oxide are available.
Are BOTOX Results Immediate?
Results are not instant. Expect visible changes to begin in about three days, with a peak result around two weeks. Dr. Smith typically schedules a follow-up at 10 to 14 days to review your progress and fine-tune as needed.
How Much Does BOTOX Cost?
Cost varies based on the number of areas and units needed to achieve your goals. Factors include your facial anatomy, animation patterns, and whether you are combining treatment with dermal fillers. Skill and experience matter—choose a double board–certified facial plastic surgeon for safe, natural results.
How Long Does It Take to Recover from BOTOX?
There is no formal downtime. You may see mild redness or swelling at injection sites for a short time. Most patients resume normal routines immediately after leaving the office.
How Long Do BOTOX Results Last?
Most patients enjoy smoother skin for three to four months, sometimes longer. Dose influences duration: within safe ranges, slightly higher dosing can last longer. Very expressive patients may metabolize BOTOX a bit faster.
Will I Look Natural or Frozen?
BOTOX is not all-or-nothing. Dr. Smith tailors placement and dosing so you keep healthy expression where it matters while softening the lines you do not want. The goal is always a refreshed, natural look—not an overdone one.
When Should I Start BOTOX?
Many patients start when early lines appear. Preventative treatment reduces repetitive creasing so wrinkles do not etch deeply. If lines are already established, consistent treatment over several cycles can gradually soften them.
Is BOTOX Safe?
BOTOX has an excellent safety record when used by experienced injectors. Treatments use very small, localized doses that stay where they are placed. Beyond aesthetics, BOTOX is also used medically for conditions such as migraine, muscle spasm, and hyperhidrosis, underscoring its safety and versatility.
BOTOX Alternatives
Other neuromodulators include XEOMIN, Dysport, and Daxxify. Depending on your anatomy and goals, Dr. Smith may recommend one of these options. We will discuss the best fit during your consultation.
