Botox injections can soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for repeated facial movements such as smiling, frowning, and squinting. Treatment is quick, minimally invasive, and typically requires little to no downtime.
The board-certified dermatologists at Northstar Dermatology provide Botox for patients throughout Fort Worth with an emphasis on facial anatomy, conservative treatment, and natural-looking results.
Botox is a purified botulinum toxin protein that is FDA approved for the treatment of certain facial lines and wrinkles, including moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines. When performed by a trained medical professional, Botox can produce subtle, natural-looking results while preserving overall facial expression.
Common treatment areas include:
The appropriate treatment areas and amount of Botox vary from patient to patient based on facial anatomy and aesthetic goals.
Botox may begin taking effect within a few days, with fuller results developing over approximately two weeks.
Results typically last about three to four months, although duration varies by patient, treatment area, and dose. Periodic retreatment may be recommended to maintain results.
Before treatment, your cosmetic provider will assess your facial anatomy, discuss your concerns, and develop a treatment plan based on your goals.
If Botox is appropriate, treatment may often be performed during the same visit. The injections are administered with a very fine needle and typically take about 10 to 15 minutes.
Most patients are able to return to normal daily activities shortly after treatment.
Patients interested in addressing facial volume in addition to dynamic wrinkles can also learn more about dermal fillers.
Results are intended to look refreshed rather than overdone. Our Fort Worth Botox approach focuses on softening lines while maintaining natural facial movement and expression.
