Botox is the original and most popular neurotoxin on the market. Neurotoxins are essentially injectable muscle relaxants. When they are strategically placed, they work to relax certain muscles that cause wrinkles to form, resulting in a more youthful appearance.

Results can vary depending how your body metabolizes toxins. It takes about 7-14 days from injection to see maximum results, then the average patient enjoys results for 3-4 months. Younger patients or those undergoing preventative treatments have been known to experience prolonged results.

After your treatment, expect a little bit of swelling and slight redness at the injection sites. Any discomfort goes away in a few hours. Avoiding heavy exercise, salty foods, alcohol, and sleeping face down will help avoid excessive swelling. Ice always helps!

Of course you can. Botox® injections gradually fade away if you choose to stop treatments, but why stop!?

Botox prices can vary, but usually range from $13 - $14/unit at Refine Laser & Skin Care. Check our Specials page to see what type of treatment specials we are offering this month!
