What Qualifications Are Needed for BOTOX® Treatment?

BOTOX is a popular treatment for reducing wrinkles on the forehead, between the brows, and around the eyes. Though wrinkle relaxers are considered safe for most people, not everyone is a qualified candidate. A specialist can determine if cosmetic injections are right for you.

The Med Spa of North Texas can answer your questions about BOTOX treatment and ensure you get the best possible outcomes. Call now to schedule an appointment in Allen, TX – you'll be one step closer to achieving a refreshed, youthful look through BOTOX.

How does BOTOX work?

When we smile, frown, squint, or make similar facial expressions, the muscles beneath our skin contract, causing the overlying skin to crease. These fine lines only become more pronounced as we age.

BOTOX works by blocking signals to the muscles and preventing contractions from occurring. The Med Spa of North Texas can reduce all kinds of wrinkles that make you feel less than confident, especially on the forehead, between the brows, and around the eyes (Crow's feet).

Is BOTOX safe?

Some people self-administer wrinkle relaxers or attend discounted BOTOX parties to save money, but these are not safe practices and can result in serious complications. The Med Spa of North Texas goes above and beyond to ensure the safety of our patients. We use only FDA-approved products that are administered by an experienced, qualified clinician. They know exactly where each injection should be placed and how much to use to produce excellent results.

Who is qualified for BOTOX treatment?

Certain criteria must be met to qualify for BOTOX treatment in Allen, TX. The Med Spa of North Texas can perform a thorough evaluation to determine if someone is a good fit. Ideal candidates:

• Are over the age of 18
• Have moderate-to-severe wrinkles on the forehead, between the brows, and around the eyes
• Have no known allergies to wrinkle relaxers or other ingredients used during treatment
• Do not have underlying conditions such as nerve damage or muscle weakness
• Have realistic expectations about the results of the procedure

Patients should also be in good overall health and not pregnant or breastfeeding.

How do you administer cosmetic injections?

Our professionals use a very fine needle and the utmost precision to inject cosmetic injections into the target areas. Minimal discomfort is involved, and most people describe the feeling as similar to a pinch. They usually return home right away without any downtime. BOTOX results are visible within a few days and can last up to four months. Patients are encouraged to maintain a healthy lifestyle and skin care routine to extend their results.

What about BOTOX side effects?

Most people experience minor side effects that resolve soon after treatment. These include redness, swelling, tenderness, and bruising at the injection site. Rare complications include headache, nausea, flu-like symptoms, or facial asymmetry. The Med Spa of North Texas provides detailed instructions on how to care for the injection sites and how long to wait before performing certain activities.
