We carry the brand names Botox, Jeuveau, Dysport, Xeomin, and Daxxify. Botulinum toxin is well known for smoothing the wrinkles of the face, especially the forehead lines and between the eyebrows. We use advanced techniques and an innovative approach to not only smooth wrinkles and fine lines but also shape the face, contour the jawline and neck, reduce sweating under the arms, and treat many other indications.
Beneath every wrinkle are muscles that move and contract. Botulinum toxin blocks these muscles from contracting, resulting in the muscle, and the wrinkle, relaxing.
When areas along the jawline, such as the platysmal bands, are injected, you can experience more jawline definition. Additionally, when the masseters are hypertrophic (large mass) and injected, you can experience facial slimming in the width of the lower face.
When injected into the underarms, Botox & Wrinkle Relaxers reduce sweat gland activity.
Commonly treated areas: Glabella (11s), forehead lines, crow’s Feet, Bunny Lines/Wolf Lines, Brow Lift, Jelly Roll, downturned mouth, smokers lines, lip flip, gummy smile, dimpled chin, masseter/facial slimming, neck bands, scalp, underarm hyperhidrosis (for excessive sweating), nose (slimming and lifting) and much more. Discuss with your provider to decide the best options for you.
You’ll start to notice less movement within a few days, and the product will be in full effect in two weeks. Depending on the area treated, you may notice smoother and more radiant skin, modified facial features such as increased symmetry, enhanced lips or eyes, and an overall improvement in skin texture.
Results typically last 3-4 months, during which time you will gradually see increasing movement back. We recommend booking your appointments quarterly.
Remove unwanted sun damage and uneven tone with a chemical peel, followed by smoothing fine lines and wrinkles with wrinkle relaxers at the same appointment. At 2 weeks, when the tox fully kicks in, and the new skin is revealed, you will love how radiant and smooth your skin looks.
Adults looking to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, reduce excessive sweat under the arms, or for advanced indications such as facial balancing and slimming.
The results usually last 3-4 months when treating fine lines and wrinkles. When treating areas such as the underarms for sweating or the masseters for TMJ, the results usually last 4-6 months.
The injections can feel like a quick, sharp pinch that subsides once the injection to that area is complete.
There is no downtime; however, you may bruise and should review the pre/post instructions carefully to pre-plan your other treatments and social events.
Unfortunately, no. There is recent evidence-based research that suggests receiving neurotoxin while breastfeeding is fine, however, with limited data, our practice does not treat breastfeeding moms at this time.
We charge per unit, except for underarm sweating (axillary hyperhidrosis), for which we charge a flat fee for the units required. See pricing for specifics.

Botox is a medication that must be prescribed by a licensed medical professional with prescribing authority, such as a Nurse Practitioner, Physician Associate, or Medical Doctor. Each profession has a governing board that dictates the scope of practice for that profession in each state. Some states require an advanced license to inject, however, this varies from state to state. Be sure to check with your state to see which professions can legally inject botulinum toxin.
