The cost for BOTOX® will depend on how much product is used. This will vary based on your needs and goals. During your consultation, our staff will develop your personal treatment plan before he can estimate your costs. BOTOX® can produce great results when performed by a skilled doctor, but it can be unsafe if done by someone without training, which is why it's better to avoid places offering cheap or knock-off injections. To save money, ask about the Brilliant Distinctions Rewards Program so you can get points for BOTOX® and other Allergan products, like Juvéderm.

Your BOTOX® results can last up to four months. Most patients make an appointment every season to maintain their results, but you may come back sooner. If you are getting BOTOX® while you are younger as a preventive treatment, you may be able to schedule treatments further apart. After listening to your goals and developing your treatment plan, we will be able to estimate when you should schedule your next appointment.

Wrinkle relaxers (like BOTOX®) and wrinkle fillers (like Juvéderm® and Restylane®) are both treatments that reduce wrinkles and smooth fine lines. BOTOX® relaxes overused facial muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles, like frown lines (between the eyebrows), Crow's feet (in the outer corners of the eyes), forehead wrinkles, and smile lines. Injectable fillers add volume under the skin to correct hollow areas and decrease static wrinkles. After hearing your goals, Dr. Ryan may recommend BOTOX®, fillers, or a combination of both for a liquid "facelift."

BOTOX®, Dysport, and Xeomin are brands of wrinkle relaxers that use botulinum toxin (type A). Each of these relax facial muscles to reduce dynamic wrinkles, but each formula is designed to suit specific areas and needs. There are subtle differences between them, including the dosing amounts, treatment spread, and length of results. Our specialists will work with you to choose the best injection to fit your goals.

When used properly, BOTOX® rarely causes any complications. With that said, it is important to select someone who has training in handling this medication. Overusing BOTOX® can create an undesirable outcome. A skilled practitioner will use just enough of the medication to effectively freeze the muscles that cause wrinkles while leaving nearby muscles unaffected. One of the most popular cosmetic treatments on the market today, it's safe and approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In addition to cosmetic uses, BOTOX® is also used to treat medical problems like facial spasms, excessive sweating, uncontrollable blinking, and migraines.
