BOTOX® Cosmetic Treatments
BOTOX® Cosmetic is one of the most effective wrinkle treatments available today. We specialize in effectively helping many people reduce their facial wrinkles that are caused by excessive facial tension. Facial expressions are produced by a number of muscles that are located below the skin of the face. Many of the facial muscles don't have a vital role and are only involved in expression of tension, anger, or stress. By using BOTOX® Cosmetic, you can relax these muscles and look and feel years younger.

BOTOX ® Cosmetic Treatments For The Face
Facial wrinkles are in large are caused by facial muscles through repetitive motion, that create lines and wrinkles on your face. These lines and wrinkles are temporary at first, but over time, they can become more permanent. Genetics, family history and lifestyles such as smoking, and excessive sun exposure also factor into the wrinkle creation process. With the help of BOTOX® Cosmetic, you will be able to temporarily 'erase" your frown lines, the forehead lines, and the crows feet.

BENEFITS OF BOTOX® Cosmetic in other areas

EXCESSIVE SWEATING
Excessive sweating of the underarms or palms of the hands can be quite embarrassing. By receiving BOTOX® Cosmetic injections in your underarms or in the palms of your hands, you can significantly decrease the amount of sweating in these areas by blocking the sweat glands. By using BOTOX® Cosmetic, you can get rid of excessive underarm perspiration or clammy and sweaty palms.

LIP LINES
Movement of the lips while talking, whistling, smoking or drinking from a straw can contribute to lip lines and wrinkles. This often makes the area around the mouth appear much older. By using a small amount of BOTOX® Cosmetic, this can reduce the appearance of these lip lines, while maintaining facial expression.

What is a "unit" of Botox?
A unit is a measurement of quantity Botox. There are several units of product injected with every needle stick.

Alas, one getting 40 units of Botox, does not need 40 needle sticks!

Because each patient's needs and facial muscles are unique, the required number of units of BOTOX® to achieve desired results will vary. Radiance Medspa uses UPP (Unit Pricing Policy) to determine the cost of a BOTOX® procedure. UPP allows patients to pay for only what they need to treat an area, rather than charging a flat rate for an area. With this method our patients know exactly how many units of BOTOX® they will be purchasing for their given treatment.

In general between the eyes or glabellar area requires about 15-25 units
Forehead requires about 12-20 units
Crows feets is about 10-20 units

This is a general guideline, our clinician will consult with you to determine your treatment plan.

Is additional treatment necessary?
We recommend a follow up visit in 2 weeks to check the result and refine if necessary. Generally, after three to four months, the Botox® effects will begin to fade and facial features will gradually return to their former state. Maintenance treatments are necessary to keep the effect of Botox® for long periods of time. In fact, as you continue to use Botox, you may notice it lasts longer.
