Botox Houston TX
BOTOX, in addition to Dysport and Jeuveau, is a neuromuscular blocking injectable drug that essentially works by stopping the transmission of chemicals that instructs your muscles to move. When applied to tiny facial muscles that cause wrinkles, this wonder drug allows the skin to flatten out, leading to a youthful and rejuvenated facial appearance. It’s no wonder that BOTOX is the most popular non-surgical cosmetic procedure today.

BOTOX FAQ
How does BOTOX work?
BOTOX is based on a purified protein that is known as Botulinum Toxin A. Once injected into the forehead or upper-level facial muscles, BOTOX cosmetic stays in place for a couple of days. The patient will notice that as they smile, frown, or make other facial expressions, their skin will stay smoother. This treatment works by blocking signals between nerves and muscles – so that these muscles can’t contract and lead to dynamic wrinkles. Although individual results may vary from one patient to the other, BOTOX cosmetic is a proven treatment that works for adult men and women of all ages.
How long does BOTOX results last?
It is not uncommon to experience minor bruising following your BOTOX cosmetic treatment. However, this dissipates within a short while. Most patients start to see improvements in their fine lines and wrinkles within 48 hours, and up to 5 days after treatment. A single BOTOX cosmetic treatment lasts for 3-6 months, after which you will need to receive another injection in order to maintain your rejuvenated, youthful facial appearance.
BOTOX vs Dysport vs Jeuveau?
Many people are confused about the difference between BOTOX, Dysport and Jeuveau. All of these are nonsurgical injections that are based on Botulinum toxin type A. However, there is a difference in the trace proteins that make up each product, which in turn results in slight differences in onset of action and the amount of solution required to provide the desired result. More so, BOTOX cosmetic has been around for the last two decades, while Dysport was only approved by the FDA in 2019 and Jeuveau is even newer. Dr. Arroyo will help you make the best choice (between BOTOX, Dysport and Jeuveau) to suit your treatment goals.
Is BOTOX cosmetic safe?
BOTOX cosmetic, when administered carefully by a skilled plastic surgeon or injection specialist, is a safe treatment that rarely causes any complications. There have been reports of ‘BOTOX cocktail parties’ – where people gather and self-administer this treatment without a medical licence. Keep in mind that this is very dangerous and can lead to unintended consequences such as paralyzed muscles and abnormal facial appearance.
BOTOX vs dermal fillers?
Both BOTOX and dermal fillers are used to smoothen facial fines and wrinkles. While BOTOX Cosmetic works by relaxing certain facial muscles under the skin so that they do not contract, fillers work by filling in hollow areas to improve the appearance of wrinkles. Dr. Arroyo will help you make the best choice (between BOTOX Cosmetic and dermal fillers) to correct your problem areas. In some cases, it may be possible to use both of these treatments to achieve the desired cosmetic outcome.
