What is Botox?

Botox is a neuromuscular blocking agent. When injected just under the skin, it prevents the release of a compound called acetylcholine which causes the muscles to become “paralyzed.” 

Paralyzing the muscles in this way targets dynamic wrinkles, the wrinkles caused by repetitive facial movements like smiling, laughing, frowning or smoking. The results of Botox speak for themselves and have been backed by research

However, what a lot of people don’t know is that Botox is incredibly customizable — the amount of units used and where they are injected makes a huge difference in the results you can achieve. Having Botox injections performed by a trained and licensed professional, like those at our Southlake med spa, is also crucial.

Where can Botox be used?

While the primary benefit of Botox is to help smooth out expression lines on the face, it can be used in more places than just that, including:

  • Around the eyes
  • Around the mouth
  • Around the nose
  • The brow bone
  • The chin
  • The forehead
  • The jawline
  • The lips
  • The neck

It’s important to note that Botox isn’t just used to treat active dynamic wrinkles — it can also be used pre-emptively to help prevent wrinkle formation in the first place.

Botox has also been used for more medical concerns, like migraine management and urinary issues. However, these procedures are most often done by medical professionals and not skin care professionals.

Frequently asked questions about Botox

  • How much downtime is involved with Botox?

    Icons

    Although Botox is effective, it is not a permanent solution. However, Botox requires only minimal downtime, allowing you to return to your routine immediately after your appointment. It’s best not to schedule your appointment close to any significant life events.

  • Are there any side effects associated with Botox?

    Icons

    For most people, the side effects associated with Botox injections are mild and fade on their own in a few days. These side effects include bruising or swelling at the injection sites or, less commonly, a mild headache or flu-like symptoms.

  • How long does it take to see the effects of Botox?

    Icons

    The effects of Botox don’t start the day you walk out of the clinic. However, you won’t have to wait too long to see the benefits of Botox — most people start to see subtle changes in about three to five days, with full effects visible in around two weeks.

  • How often will I need Botox?

    Icons

    To maintain your results, it is recommended that you schedule an appointment every three to four months.

  • Will Botox look obvious?

    Icons

    Although everyone’s results will be different, our providers at Skin Pharm make every effort to create noticeable results that still look natural. We want you to look refreshed, not frozen.

  • Is Botox painful?

    Icons

    Although Botox involves needles, they are very small, and injections are performed by a trained and experienced professional. Most people describe it as nothing more than a small pin prick.

How else can Botox be used?

In addition to smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles, there are other ways Botox can benefit your appearance. 

For instance, when a small amount of Botox is injected into the muscles around the mouth, it relaxes them and causes your lips to roll slightly outward. This subtle but noticeable use of Botox is called a “lip flip.”

Botox can also be used to help manage a “gummier” smile or injected into your jawline (along with dermal filler) to help subtly reshape your face.
