What is Botox?

We all experience skin changes as a result of the natural aging process. If your skin has reached a level of change that you wish to improve, BOTOX may be the right solution for you. Dynamic wrinkles appear around our face. This happens because of repetitive expressions, like smiling, frowning, and squinting. As you become more mature, these lines eventually remain. Thanks to BOTOX, we have the ability to temporarily diminish the appearance of moderate to severe horizontal forehead creases, frown lines, and Crow’s feet. BOTOX is made from a specialized strain of botulinum toxin type A. It functions to temporarily relax the muscles that assist with those expressions. At Elan Med Spa and Clinic, we’re proud to perform BOTOX as a nonsurgical cosmetic option to help patients attain a more youthful, rejuvenated appearance. Contact our office to learn more.

What Are the Benefits of Botox?

BOTOX is a noninvasive, nonsurgical injection that most commonly helps patients achieve a younger facial appearance. BOTOX performed by the professionals at Elan Med Spa & Clinic is an ideal solution for patients who hope to soften the appearance of lines and wrinkles on their faces, but it may also be an option to prevent the appearance of future aging in younger people. BOTOX treatments come with the following added benefits:

  • Confidence from a new, youthful look
  • The convenience of a quick procedure
  • Minimal pain at the point of injection
  • Results that typically begin to appear in one to three days
  • The potential to treat additional conditions beyond lines and wrinkles, including chronic migraine, excessive sweating, eye twitching or lazy eye, and urinary incontinence, among others

Who is a Candidate for Botox?

The best candidates for BOTOX are in good general health and have realistic expectations about their results. It is important to understand that BOTOX is not an alternative to a facelift or other more invasive procedures. Rather, it is intended to provide temporary relief from specific wrinkles and lines. Elan Med Spa and Clinic can perform a skin assessment to help determine if BOTOX is right for your needs at this time. Our goal is to always provide patients with the safest and most effective treatments available.

How Does Botox Work?

During your consultation in our Waxahachie, TX office, our professionals at Elan Med Spa and Clinic will work with you. We discuss which areas you want to target and how the injections work. It is common for the assessment to happen within the same day as the injections. Once all questions get answered, the process will begin. The formulation will get placed into your brow or face using a small syringe. This formulation relaxes your facial muscles and gives them a younger-looking glow. The treatment takes about ten minutes to carry out, and many people notice only mild discomfort (such as a pinprick or pinching feeling). After the appointment, you are free to get back to your normal routine.

Botox FAQ

Q: How many BOTOX treatments will I need?

A: The amount of BOTOX required will differ according to personal goals and the severity and depth of your facial lines. Dr. Pierce can recommend the ideal quantity of BOTOX injections according to your treatment results and whether you prefer to address the Crow’s feet, forehead, or between the eyes. To keep up with your cosmetic outcomes, our experts might suggest scheduling BOTOX procedures every few months at Elan Med Spa & Clinic.

Q: Can BOTOX be paired with other cosmetic services?

A: BOTOX generally pairs well with additional nonsurgical solutions at Elan Med Spa & Clinic for women and men who prefer to minimize aging concerns. If you experience deeper and more extensive lines and wrinkles, our experts might suggest incorporating a dermal filler for your smoothest results. To further maximize your youthful appearance, Dr. Pierce can perform other complimentary services, like facials or PRP with microneedling.

Q: Are there comparable cosmetic injections?

A: BOTOX Cosmetic is a certain type of wrinkle relaxer that exists within a range of other effective options, including XEOMIN®, Dysport®, and Jeuveau™. All of these wrinkle relaxer options consist of type A botulinum toxin, but they are each uniquely designed to treat certain problems.

Q: What’s the difference between wrinkle relaxers and fillers?

A: Though wrinkle relaxers, such as BOTOX Cosmetic, are used to minimize facial lines by temporarily blocking your muscle engagement, fillers are a separate collection of cosmetic formulations that enhance facial volume. Fillers are designed to plump sunken areas and soften static wrinkles. Dr. Pierce can ascertain whether you would be a good candidate for a dermal filler (like Restylane® or JUVÉDERM®) to complement your BOTOX results.
