What is Botox?

Botox is a neurotoxin, injected into the facial muscles that cause wrinkles, the purified protein blocks the signals from the nerves to the muscles to soften or prevent wrinkles from being visible. By temporarily forcing the key facial muscles to relax, Botox smoothes away lines and wrinkles to achieve a youthful appearance. Younger patients who want to avoid wrinkles from appearing used Botox as a preventative treatment, while older patients use Botox to reverse the clock on visible wrinkles.

What is the cost of Botox in Tampa?

Botox is determined by the number of units needed to achieve your aesthetic goals, which varies according to the areas you have treated. Every patient’s facial structure and needs differ, and pricing is provided during your consultation.

Am I a Botox Candidate?

Most people who want to reverse or prevent wrinkles and lines are candidates for Botox in Tampa. Generally speaking, Botox candidates:

Are at least eighteen years of age
Are physically healthy
Do not have a skin infection or outbreak in the treatment area
Are not pregnant
Are not allergic to Botox ingredients
Do not have a history of neuromuscular diseases

If you meet the above criteria and have any of the following skin concerns, you are likely a Botox candidate:

Forehead frown lines
The “11s” between your eyes
Crow’s feet
The area around the eyes
Above the eyebrows
Marionette lines from the mouth to the chin
Bunny lines around the nose
Lip lines
A downturned mouth
Nasolabial wrinkles from the chin to the corners of the mouth
Dimpled chin
A gummy smile
Bands around the neck

How Does Botox Work?

Botox injections target specific muscles that contract under your skin and hold wrinkles in place. These muscle movements are repeated every day, multiple times per day, by making the following facial expressions:

Laughing
Smiling
Yawning
Frowning
Wrinkling your brow in concentration
Squinting in the sun, or any other facial motions

While the aging process continues, these facial muscles remain in the contracted positions, which is how wrinkles form.

Botox injections into these muscles force these muscles to relax completely, leaving the skin smooth and free of wrinkles. When used as a preventative treatment earlier in the aging process, the muscles contract less, causing fewer wrinkles.

The number of units of Botox that you’ll need depends on your aesthetic concerns and goals. For example, 10 to 30 units are injected into the forehead. For the first Botox treatment, you may need only ten units. However, depending on your age and the tautness of your facial muscles, the number of necessary units fluctuates.

Botox Recovery

After Botox, the recovery period is relatively minimal. Because no downtime is required, patients can return to their usual activities immediately after treatment. While there may be redness or small red bumps once the treatment is complete, these usually disappear within an hour. However, you should wait up to two days before massaging the treatment site, drinking alcohol, or exercising heavily.

Botox Results

Your results will be visible between two days and one week after your first Botox treatment. If you’ve had Botox before, you will see your results within one day of your treatment, which lasts up to four months.

Botox for Medical Use

In addition to its widespread cosmetic use, Botox is used for medical purposes and can successfully treat several conditions. Examples include:

Hyperhidrosis

Hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, can be treated with Botox injections that stop the nerves from signaling the sweat glands to overproduce sweat.

TMJ

Botox injections relax the TMJ muscles that clench, effectively decreasing pain for 90% of patients.

Migraines

Botox is injected into areas of the head and neck to relax the muscles that cause migraine headaches.

BOTOXFrequently Asked Questions

Is there any preparation needed before getting Botox?

It’s best to avoid alcohol, blood thinners, and certain supplements (like fish oil) for 24–48 hours before treatment to reduce the risk of bruising.

Can Botox be used to slim the jawline or reduce a gummy smile?

Yes, injecting Botox into the masseter muscles can soften a square jawline, creating a more oval facial shape. Additionally, Botox can be used to relax the upper lip, reducing the appearance of a gummy smile.

How does Botox affect skin sensation?

Botox targets muscle activity and does not impact the nerves responsible for skin sensation. Therefore, patients should not experience numbness in the treated areas.
