In Scottsdale, AZ

Prevents wrinkles and lines as well as smooths expression wrinkles.

What is Botox?

Botox, short for botulinum toxin, is a popular neurotoxin treatment used to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles and fine lines. At Arizona Oculoplastic Specialists, we use Botox to help our patients achieve a smoother, more youthful appearance. Botox gives the skin a smooth appearance by stopping the habitual movement that causes expression lines. The Botox barrier is made up of proteins that block the “movement message” from being received by the muscles.

Once the precisely targeted muscles responsible for the unwanted expression lines are treated, the skin will become increasing smoother over time. Cosmetic applications include forehead furrows, crow’s feet, under eye smile lines, and gravel chin. There are numerous medical applications, including hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), headaches, and TMJ.

Would You Benefit From Botox?

If you notice the development of crow’s feet around your eyes, frown lines between your eyebrows, or forehead wrinkles, drooping eyebrows, or prominent jaw muscles, you might benefit from Botox. Ideal candidates for Botox at Arizona Oculoplastic Specialists are individuals with dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated muscle movements over time. Botox is also suitable for those who want a non-invasive solution with minimal downtime. During your consultation, our specialists will evaluate your skin concerns and discuss your aesthetic goals to determine if Botox is the proper treatment for you. Beyond cosmetic improvements, Botox can also address medical issues such as excessive sweating, migraines, and muscle spasms.

Botox Recovery

Recovery from Botox is typically quick and easy, with most patients experiencing minimal downtime. Immediately after the procedure, you may notice some redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites, but these effects usually subside within a few hours to a couple of days. It is important to avoid rubbing or massaging the treated areas to prevent the Botox from spreading to unintended muscles.

Our specialists at Arizona Oculoplastic Specialists will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal results. You can generally return to your normal activities right after the treatment, although avoiding strenuous exercise and excessive sun exposure for the first 24 hours is advisable. Full results from Botox injections are typically visible within seven to ten days, revealing smoother, more youthful skin lasting up to four months. Regular maintenance treatments can help preserve your results and keep your skin looking its best.
