Botox Cosmetic targets one of the underlying causes of frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead lines — the repeated muscle contractions from frowning, squinting, smiling and raising the eyebrows over the years. Your injection provider will inject these muscles with Botox Cosmetic to temporarily reduce muscle activity, resulting in a visible smoothing of these lines.

Fillers contain hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance that delivers nutrients to the skin, helping the skin retain moisture and softness and adding volume. Each product in the JUVÉDERM® collection of fillers adds volume to a different area of the face, without surgery.

When will I see results?

Botox results can typically be seen in 24-48 hours.
How long will my results last?
That will depend on the product(s) used, area treated, and your own unique biology. Botox will last 3-4 months on average.

Will I look natural?

Yes. Our goal is to rejuvenate your look and simply make you look like the best version of yourself. While Botox can dramatically improve your frown lines, you will still be able to clearly express all of your emotions.

How much does it cost?

Your service cost will depend on your aesthetic goals and which products, and how much of each product, are required to reach those goals. This cost includes not only the price of the products, but the skill and expertise of our experienced Nurse Injectors and Medical Director. Our injectable providers take the time to understand your goals and develop a custom plan just for you, and can offer a price estimate after your consultation.
