BOTOX®
Achieve a Youthful, Refreshed Look with Expert Botox Treatments at Memphis Laser Clinic
BOTOX® Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA) targets one of the underlying causes of frown lines and crow’s feet, the repeated muscle contractions from frowning and squinting over the years. BOTOX® Cosmetic temporarily reduces this muscle activity so you’ll begin to notice a visible smoothing of these lines. For temporary improvement of moderate to severe crow’s feet, your doctor will inject BOTOX® Cosmetic into the muscle surrounding the sides of your eyes, called the orbicularis oculi muscles.
At Memphis Laser Clinic & Medspa, we partner directly with Allergan, the trusted manufacturer of authentic Botox. By sourcing Botox straight from the manufacturer, we guarantee our clients receive the highest quality, FDA-approved product. This relationship ensures the authenticity of our treatments and provides peace of mind, knowing every vial is meticulously handled and stored to meet the highest safety standards. Our commitment to offering genuine, top-tier products highlights our dedication to delivering safe and outstanding results for our clients.
Am I a Candidate for Botox®?
A good candidate for cosmetic Botox treatments typically includes individuals who:
1. Have Fine Lines and Wrinkles – Botox is ideal for people looking to reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, such as crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines caused by facial expressions.
2. Are in Good Overall Health – Candidates should be in good physical health without any underlying conditions that could complicate the treatment or healing process.
3. Aged Between Mid-20s to 60s – While Botox is often associated with anti-aging, individuals in their late 20s or 30s may use it preventatively, while older individuals may seek to reduce visible signs of aging.
4. Want a Non-Surgical Solution – Those seeking a non-invasive, quick treatment with minimal downtime to address wrinkles and fine lines.
5. Have Realistic Expectations – Ideal candidates understand that Botox offers temporary results and are realistic about its ability to smooth wrinkles but not completely change one’s appearance.
6. Are Not Pregnant or Nursing – Botox is not recommended for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
7. Are Free from Neuromuscular Conditions – Individuals with certain conditions like ALS, myasthenia gravis, or Lambert-Eaton syndrome may need to avoid Botox.
Consultation with a qualified provider is essential to ensure you’re a good candidate for Botox based on your skin concerns and overall health.
What areas can Botox treat?
Botox can treat various areas cosmetically to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Common areas include:
1. Forehead Lines– to smooth horizontal lines caused by raising the eyebrows.
2. Frown Lines (Glabellar Lines) – between the eyebrows, often referred to as “11” lines.
3. Crow’s Feet – around the outer corners of the eyes.
4. Bunny Lines – wrinkles on the nose when scrunching.
5. Lip Lines (Smoker’s Lines) – vertical lines around the mouth.
6. Marionette Lines– lines running from the corners of the mouth down to the chin.
7. Chin Dimpling– to smooth the appearance of a “cobblestone” chin.
8. Jawline Contouring – to reduce the appearance of a square jaw by relaxing the masseter muscles.
9. Neck Bands – also known as platysmal bands, which appear as vertical lines on the neck.
These treatments help create a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
How long does Botox last?
The effects of Botox typically last 3 to 4 months, though results may vary depending on individual factors such as metabolism, the treated area, and the number of units used.
How does Botox work to reduce wrinkles?
Botox works by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for forming wrinkles. By inhibiting the muscle’s movement, the skin above it smooths out, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Is the Botox treatment painful?
Botox injections are generally well-tolerated, with most patients reporting minimal discomfort. The needles used are very fine, and the treatment is quick, lasting only a few minutes. Some patients describe the sensation as a slight pinch.
How long does it take to see results from Botox?
You will typically start to see results within 3 to 5 days after the treatment, with full effects becoming noticeable around 10 to 14 days after the procedure.
