How Much Does Botox® Cost?

Over a lifetime of laughing, smiling, and frowning, skin can develop creases and wrinkles. Botox® can reverse these expression lines and let you look more relaxed and youthful. Compared to more invasive wrinkle treatments, Botox® can make a cost-effective and easier option. 

What is Botox®?

FDA-approved for medical purposes since 1989, Botox® has been widely and safely used for decades. Injected into areas of the face with expression lines and wrinkles, Botox® lets the skin relax, allowing the wrinkles to soften and become smoother. Botox® treats moderate to severe lines and wrinkles, including crow’s feet around the eyes, forehead creases, and glabellar lines between the eyebrows. 

How Does Botox®  Work?

Botox® contains botulinum toxin. This neurotoxin works on the communication between facial nerves and muscles. One of our expert staff will inject Botox® into the muscles that have been pulling the skin into wrinkles. Botox® will prevent the nerves from sending signals to the muscles. This allows the muscles to stop moving and let the skin above them relax. 

Your provider will only inject Botox® into the muscles you want to treat. According to the manufacturer, treating crow’s feet involves three muscle areas around each eye. Forehead and glabellar lines usually require five areas in total. Injections typically take only about ten minutes, making Botox® easy to squeeze into tight schedules. 

How Much Does Botox® Cost?

According to Healthline, a Botox® treatment costs $376 on average. However, you may need more injections or fewer, depending on the area of the face. In addition, experienced injection specialists may have higher rates in exchange for their expertise. Make sure your Botox® provider has the experience and skill to give you the best results. The best way to get an accurate price point for your treatment plan is to come in for an in-person consultation at Alamo Ranch Laser Aesthetics.

What Results Will I See With Botox®?

You will see results beginning within a few days and fully developed by ten days. As the muscles relax, wrinkles become smoother. This leads to a refreshed, more youthful appearance. Botox® results last three to four months. If you want to maintain your smoother and younger look, you can schedule an appointment to have your results rejuvenated when they start to fade. 

Is There Any Downtime With Botox®?

You may notice some minor swelling or bruise in the injection area. You can still resume your regular activities after treatment. You should avoid rubbing your face for a few hours to let the Botox® become settled in its proper location. 

Am I a Good Candidate for Botox®?

If you have crow’s feet, glabellar lines, or forehead wrinkles, you are probably a good candidate for Botox®. Discuss with your provider if you’ve ever had a reaction to a botulinum product before.
