M uscles contracting when you frown, squint, or raise your eyebrows from time to time can result in frown lines on your forehead, crow's feet around your eyes, lines at the corners of your mouth, or on your chin.
Wrinkles, no matter where they are on your face, make you look older and more tired.
When used for cosmetic purposes, BOTOX can temporarily erase those lines and can take the appearance of years off your face.
BOTOX® is a quick and easy way to smooth out the lines and wrinkles caused by everyday facial expressions like frowning, squinting, or raising your eyebrows. It works by relaxing the tiny muscles under your skin that cause those lines to form over time.
Treatments take just a few minutes, and there's no downtime, so you can get back to your day right after. The results start showing up within a few days and can last around 3 to 4 months.
Even though most people think of BOTOX for cosmetic reasons, it's also used for things like migraines and muscle spasms. It's a small treatment with big impact.
B OTOX works by preventing the release of acetylcholine, which under normal circumstances, facilitates muscle contraction. BOTOX Cosmetic Injections are a temporary, non-surgical solution to the treatment of moderate-to-severe frown lines (the dreaded “11” lines) and Crow’s feet. After the BOTOX injection into the neuromuscular tissue, the nerve impulses to the muscles are blocked, which relaxes the muscle. Since the muscles attach to the skin, relaxing the muscles eases the appearance of the skin lines.
BOTOX helps you look like yourself—just a little more rested, more refreshed, and maybe a little younger. It's not about looking fake or frozen. It's about giving your skin a chance to relax so your natural beauty can shine through.
Key benefits include:
BOTOX is best for the lines and wrinkles that come from muscle movement like frowning or smiling. These are the ones that tend to stick around even when your face is at rest.
Common concerns treated with BOTOX:
Each treatment is customized to address your specific concerns, ensuring natural-looking results that enhance your features. We'll talk through your goals and make a plan that feels right for your face.
Extra precautions should be taken if you have any of these conditions below:
Expected temporary side effects after treatment may include:
BOTOX Cosmetic effects are noticeable within 24-72 hours, though it begins to work well in 7-10 days after injection. The specialist does a facial assessment to determine the most suitable treatment areas, then the actual procedure is done, which takes about 10 minutes.
The powder is diluted in saline, then BOTOX injections themselves are done with very small needles, and most Knoxville Botox patients do not need any anesthetic at all.
Where pain or discomfort is a concern, ice or a small amount of topical numbing cream may be used if you desire. The effects of BOTOX Cosmetic usually last about 3-4 months or up to 12 months for some treatments, before re-treatment is necessary to maintain the effects.
You will be back on your feet almost immediately with little or no downtime. The only requirement is to keep your head level up for about 2 hours to prevent bruising around the areas injected. Strenuous activities like exercise or running and activities that require you to bend forward are discouraged for the next 6-24 hours.
Avoid alcohol starting at least a week before the treatment, hot drinks 30 minutes before the procedure, and any painkillers or anti-inflammatory medication that have blood-thinning effects. If you are on any medication for allergies, stiff muscles, lack of sleep, blood thinners, or had any other kind of BOTOX injections in the last four months, ensure that you let your specialist know beforehand.
BOTOX is low-maintenance, but there are a few easy things you can do to keep your results looking their best for as long as possible:
Taking these steps can help your results last longer and look even better.
B OTOX is priced by the unit, so the total cost depends on how much is needed to get the desired effect. The prices can differ mostly based on your location or region. Some specialists will charge you for every unit of Botox used, ranging from about 10-20 dollars per unit. To get an idea of the overall cost, one vial of botox has 50 or 100 units. For a person in their 30's, it takes between 40 and 60 units for the forehead, glabella and crow’s feet.
