AUSTIN BOTOX INJECTIONS & TREATMENT

We accept Alle/Aspire points and gift cards

Often referred to as a “wrinkle relaxer”, Botox is a non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment that causes the facial muscles to relax, smoothening the deep lines and wrinkles that develop as we age. It is a safe and effective treatment for women and men who want more youthful, refreshed, natural appearances. For most of our Austin Botox patients, coming in for treatment a few times a year is part of their beauty regimen, not unlike visiting a hairstylist every few months.

When it comes to cosmetic facial procedures, you want to make sure that your physician is highly experienced and has an excellent track record with the procedure. If you’re looking for the best Botox physician in Austin, it’s a good idea to seek out a plastic surgeon that specializes in facial aesthetics, like Dr. Anthony R. Bittar.

HOW DOES BOTOX WORK?

Botox is a clear liquid that is injected with an ultra-fine needle into the area being treated. It prevents nerve signals in the facial muscles from contracting, causing frown lines, wrinkles, and other signs of facial aging to visibly soften and relax. Once the muscles are at rest, the skin becomes smoother — creating a more natural, relaxed appearance.

A typical Botox procedure usually takes around 15 minutes. Ice packs are typically applied after to prevent any redness and swelling. If you do experience redness and swelling, this will usually go away within 10 – 15 minutes. There is no downtime associated with this procedure, though directly after treatment you may have some very mild red spots at the injection sites. Any residual bruising from the injections can easily be covered up with makeup. Most patients can return to their normal activities or may be advised by their doctor to avoid strenuous activity for 24 hours following the procedure.

Visible softening of the lines can usually be seen within 2 – 4 days of treatment. Most patients see the full results of the treatment after 2 weeks. The effects of Botox injections typically last anywhere from 4 – 6 months, after which point you can return for repeat injections.

FAQ: QUESTIONS & ANSWERS ABOUT BOTOX TREATMENTS

WHAT IS BOTOX EXACTLY?

Botox Cosmetic is a drug made from a protein complex produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, called botulinum toxin. This neurotoxin blocks the release of a chemical called acetylcholine, which plays a key role in the communication between nerves and muscle cells. This toxin effectively prevents muscles from receiving nerve stimulation, causing a reduction in abnormal muscle contraction. This allows the muscle to become less stiff which causes the overlying skin to soften and smooth out.

Botox injections are very safe when performed by a trained professional (a licensed, board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Bittar, or a dermatologist). Botulinum toxin can safely be injected into humans in extremely small concentrations. The drug has been used millions of times and its safety record is one of the best.

How Much Botox Do I Need?

Every Botox case is highly specific and the number of units required to treat each area differs based on patient needs and goals. A unit is simply a standardized amount designed to be readily reproducible. Each vial normally contains 100 units. Below are some common averages regarding Botox per unit for particular areas.how much botox is needed chart

Does Botox Have Side Effects?

Like any medical treatment, Botox can have potential side effects, though they are very rare. The most common side effects include some redness and swelling at the injection site. This usually resolves within a couple of hours. Rarer side effects can include bruising, swelling, bumps, or lumps. Patients taking blood thinners like aspirin or ibuprofen are at a higher risk for bruising after Botox injections.
