Introduction to BOTOX and Wrinkle Relaxers

As we age, the fine lines become more prominent and the appearance of wrinkles is inevitable. But they certainly don’t have to be permanent, as there are a number of popular options to smooth out the skin and eliminate wrinkles. BOTOX is one of the most popular and widely used treatments for facial wrinkles. Wrinkle Relaxers have also become an increasingly common method of reducing age lines and wrinkles. Both treatments are non-invasive, and non-surgical, requiring zero downtime. With the help of Dr. Collier Pace, a board-certified plastic surgeon, you will find the best cosmetic care in Greensboro, NC for smoother skin and a younger-looking appearance.

What are BOTOX and Wrinkle Relaxers?

BOTOX is a non-invasive treatment that uses an injectable material filler produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. When used in small doses, it can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and even treat health problems such as hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) and migraines. BOTOX injections work by y weakening or paralyzing targeted muscles or blocking certain nerves. Depending on the area being treated, the effects will last about three to six months, with some patients enjoying the benefits for up to a full year!

What are the benefits of BOTOX and Wrinkle Relaxers?

Most people are familiar with the aesthetic benefits of BOTOX and wrinkle relaxer treatments in Greensboro, which include:

Reducing fine lines
Smoothing out wrinkles
Restoring youthful look
Reducing overall signs of aging on your face
Reducing crows feet (wrinkles around the eyes)

There are also a number of medical reasons BOTOX can be sought out, which might be right for you. Here are some of the health issues that BOTOX helps with:

Crossed eyes and eyelid spasms
Migraines
Foot pain
Overactive bladder
Stomach issues

Who are the best candidates for BOTOX and Wrinkle Relaxers?

For anyone looking to reverse the signs of aging without opting for a surgical treatment, BOTOX in Greensboro is the most common method. If you experience health issues such as migraines, bladder issues, foot pain, and other types of fine muscle spasms, BOTOX can be a safe, effective, and proven method of treatment. Ideal candidates for BOTOX have the following characteristics:

18 years of age or older
Overall good physical health
Not currently pregnant or nursing
Uncomfortable with the appearance of lines and/or wrinkles

We, unfortunately, cannot recommend BOTOX for you if you have a serious infection or illness or are currently taking medication that can interfere with the BOTOX effects.

What’s the first step?

The first step to getting a BOTOX treatment or a wrinkle relaxer is to call our office for a consultation. During the consult, Dr. Pace will assess your needs and desired outcome, and determine the best course of treatment. He will look over your medical history, and tell you more about the treatments he uses that can benefit you. The consultation is also your opportunity to ask questions about the treatment options so that you can make an informed decision.

You will be able to receive your injection immediately after your consultation, but if you would prefer to wait for another day, our Patient Coordinator will help you schedule an appointment for another time.

What to expect on the day of a BOTOX and Wrinkle Relaxers treatment

On the day of your BOTOX or wrinkle relaxer treatment, we will make you comfortable in our treatment chair and apply a numbing agent on your skin or a topical numbing cream, to ensure there is no pain from the needle itself. Either Dr. Pace or a certified injectionist will administer the BOTOX injections in the areas that have been mapped out and specified by Dr. Pace during your consultation. The procedure itself is quick and non-invasive. The BOTOX treatment can be as short as 20 minutes, but the exact time will depend on the areas being treated on the day of your appointment.

Once Dr. Pace has completed injecting the focus areas, he will clean your skin, and allow you to take a look at his work so you can approve it. If you are happy with what you see, the treatment is complete and you will be free to go about your day as normal.

BOTOX and Wrinkle Relaxers recovery

There is no downtime or extensive recovery needed after getting a BOTOX treatment or a wrinkle relaxer. Dr. Pace will give you instructions not to rub or massage the areas injected, to allow time for the BOTOX to set in. Rubbing the skin too hard after getting BOTOX or a wrinkle relaxer may cause the botulinum toxin to migrate to other areas of the face. You may experience some soreness after the treatment, which will fade quite quickly if you take care to relax after the procedure.

How much do BOTOX and Wrinkle Relaxers cost in Greensboro, NC?

The cost of a BOTOX or Wrinkle Relaxer treatment in Greensboro, NC, can vary, depending on the areas being treated.
