Botox temporarily relaxes the facial muscles that cause wrinkles and fine lines. It blocks the nerve signals that tell these muscles to contract, achieving a smoother and more youthful appearance. For most patients, the effects of Botox typically last three to six months, requiring reinjection by our board-certified dermatologist to maintain results.
Dr. Burgess is a leading expert trained provider in botulinum toxin research with board certification to ensure that treatment is not only safe but affordable for patients looking to turn back the hands of time without plastic surgery. Botox for wrinkles and fine lines can be budget-friendly for patients who might not have much to spend on anti-aging solutions and seek affordable alternatives to deep chemical peels and laser therapies.
As with any medical treatment, Botox has potential risks and possible side effects. Some common but rare side effects may include bruising, redness, and possible swelling at the injection site. In rare cases, patients might experience drooping eyelids or eyebrows, headaches, or flu-like symptoms. It is important to discuss any potential risks with our professionals before undergoing treatment so you are fully aware of the process required to get the results you want and the potential for aftereffects.
Botox injections are often used to treat dynamic wrinkles and folds on the face, which are created due to muscle movement. Botox is most commonly used to reduce the overall look of crow’s feet around the eyes, frown lines between the eyebrows, and folds or forehead wrinkles. However, it can also treat other areas, such as the chin or neck.
Absolutely! Botox is easily combined with other anti-aging treatments, such as dermal fillers, chemical peels, and laser therapy, for optimal results. Many of our patients at our office opt for a combination of these treatments to address different varieties of wrinkles (dynamic, etc.) and achieve a more comprehensive rejuvenation. Our board-certified dermatologist works with you to create a customized treatment plan that addresses your specific concerns and goals.
