Botox in Sugar Land, Katy, and Houston, Texas

BOTOX® Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA) is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles and used to temporarily improve the look of both moderate to severe crow’s feet lines and frown lines between the eyebrows in adults.

BOTOX® Cosmetic works beneath the surface.

Wrinkles result from a combination of many factors. It’s not just about cellular changes, collagen depletion, or damage caused by free radicals. When you frown or concentrate, the muscles between your brows contract, causing your skin to furrow and fold. And when you squint, the muscles around your eyes contract and cause crow’s feet.

BOTOX® Cosmetic works beneath the skin’s surface and targets the underlying muscle activity that causes frown lines and crow’s feet to form over time.

When will I see results?

You may begin to notice results within 24 to 48 hours with the maximum effect visible at 30 days.

Does it hurt?

Some patients report that being injected with BOTOX® Cosmetic feels like a pinch. Your provider may use ice to numb the treatment area. If you are concerned about discomfort, your provider may apply a topical numbing cream before administering your treatment.

What should I tell my doctor?

Tell your doctor about all medications you take, including prescription and nonprescription medicines, vitamins, and herbal products. Let your doctor know if you have been treated with a botulinum toxin product in the last four months and whether you experienced any allergies or side effects.

Tell your doctor about your medical conditions, including any muscle or nerve conditions such as ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease, myasthenia gravis, or Lambert-Eaton syndrome.

Tell your doctor if you have had any swallowing or breathing problems in the past.

Tell your doctor if you have had surgery on your face or plan to do so. Your doctor should also be told if you have weakness in your forehead muscles, have trouble raising your eyebrows, or have drooping eyelids.

Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant or if you are nursing or plan to nurse.

FAQ

What is Botox?

Botox is a type of neuromodulators (including Dysport and Xeomin), which are used to relax certain muscles in the face in order to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. If you experience common problems such as crow’s feet in the outer corners of the eyes, frown lines between the eyes, or forehead lines, you could benefit from a neuromodulator injectable treatment such as Botox in Sugar Land or Dysport. Treatment with neuromodulators usually last about four to six months and can greatly reduce the appearance of wrinkles in the upper face due to aging.

Botox or Fillers?

Both neuromodulators and fillers can soften lines and wrinkles in the face to give a more youthful, rejuvenated appearance. Choosing the type of injectable that’s best for you will depend on your specific areas of concerns and your goals for results. You might even choose to have both types of injectables! A consultation with one of our expert cosmetic injectors can help you make the right decision. If you are in the Sugar Land or Katy, TX area, contact our office today to schedule a consultation!

What is the difference between Botox and Jeuveau?

While it’s hard to find differences between the two injectables (they contain the same active ingredient), there are a few you should know before choosing the right one for you. Botox and Jeuveau use the same ingredients, but the formulation differs. Jeuveau’s Hi-Pure technology takes added steps to remove dangerous proteins and to aid with absorption. This makes the product potentially safer. At the same time, safety comes down to the person administering the injectable. Both Botox and Jeuveau are excellent for wrinkles and fine lines. However, Botox has both cosmetic and medical uses. Jeuveau has only been approved (and marketed) as a cosmetic product. If you’re exploring the therapeutic benefits of Botox, speak with both your dermatologist and general practioner.

Why does Daxxify have a peptide?

All frown line treatments require a special ingredient to stabilize botulinum toxin A, the protein responsible for helping smooth moderate to severe frown lines. For instance, Botox® Cosmetic uses human serum albumin (HSA), a blood product, as its stabilizer. Dysport®, another frown line treatment, uses HSA as a stabilizer and cow’s milk protein as a protectant. DAXXIFY® is unique because it is the only formulation that uses a novel peptide as a stabilizer and does not contain human or animal byproducts.

How is DAXXIFY® different from other frown line treatments?

DAXXIFY® is the only frown line treatment powered by a peptide. It’s fast acting, long lasting and slow to wear off.* All frown line treatments require a special ingredient to stabilize botulinum toxin A, the protein responsible for helping smooth moderate to severe frown lines. For instance, Botox® Cosmetic uses human serum albumin (HSA), a blood product, as its stabilizer. Dysport®, another frown line treatment, uses HSA as a stabilizer and cow’s milk protein as a protectant. DAXXIFY® is unique because it is the only formulation that uses a novel peptide as a stabilizer and does not contain human or animal byproducts.
