What is FDA-Approved Botox®(Botulinum Toxin)?

Botox® is in the class of neuromodulators for cosmetic botulinum toxin injections. This means that the active ingredient (botulinum toxin type A) temporarily relaxes facial muscles that squeeze the skin to form dynamic wrinkles around the eyes and forehead. These dynamic wrinkles are caused by repeated facial expressions that cause the muscles to contract and wrinkles the skin. DermaTouch RN also uses Botox® injections to treat TMJ. The treatment works in much the same way by relaxing muscles that cause pain in the temporomandibular joint. Additionally, Botox therapy and hyaluronic acid dermal fillers can be combined to simultaneously treat facial wrinkles and deeper facial folds.

Botox Cosmetic Treatment Areas

Botox® is one of the most versatile injectable treatments available, addressing both cosmetic concerns and certain medical conditions. At DermaTouch RN, our experienced injectors tailor each treatment to your unique facial anatomy and goals. Common treatment areas include the forehead, the glabellar lines between the brows (moderate to severe frown lines), crow’s feet around the eyes, the lips, platysmal bands, masseters, and the chin. We also treat non-facial areas such as the jaw for slimming and the underarms for hyperhidrosis.

Whether you are targeting early signs of aging or deeper, more established lines, our team will identify the exact areas where Botox® will deliver the most natural and effective results for you.

Botox for Men: Subtle, Natural-Looking Results

Botox® is not just for women, in fact, the number of men seeking neuromodulator and botulinum toxin treatments has grown significantly in recent years. Men typically have stronger facial muscles and different aesthetic goals than women, which is why it is important to work with injectors who understand male facial anatomy. At DermaTouch RN, we offer Botox® treatments specifically tailored for men, focusing on softening harsh lines while preserving a strong, masculine appearance.

Whether you are looking to reduce deep forehead creases, smooth out frown lines, or address crow’s feet, our team will ensure your results look natural and refreshed.

How Much Does Botox Treatment Cost?

The average cost of our Botox® in San Antonio or Houston, TX is $10.00 to $12.50 per unit. The price of your overall treatment will be dependent on the number of units needed to achieve your desired results. After we work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan for Botox® during the consultation, we can provide more details about the cost. We offer free consultations for non-surgical body contouring. All other consultations cost $50, which we apply towards the cost of your Botox® injections.

Health insurance does not cover Botox for cosmetic purposes.

To provide excellence in care for men and women who want natural, minimally invasive treatments, we strive to keep our prices affordable. We also offer financing options from Cherry, CareCredit®, and Alle. You can apply online before your consultation and receive a decision within minutes.

Before and After

Who is a Good Candidate for Botox®?

Botox® is an excellent option for adults of a wide range of ages who want to address dynamic wrinkles, the lines formed by repeated facial muscle movement,  without surgery or significant downtime. Ideal candidates are in good general health, have realistic expectations about their results, and are looking for a non-permanent, adjustable solution. Botox® is particularly well-suited for those noticing moderate to severe lines on the forehead, between the eyes, or around the mouth and eyes.

It is also a popular preventative treatment for younger patients who want to slow the formation of wrinkles before they become deeply set.

Cosmetic Concerns Botox Can Treat

Botox® is capable of addressing a wide variety of concerns across the face and body. Because the active ingredient temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for repetitive movement, it effectively softens the dynamic wrinkles that form from years of smiling, squinting, frowning, and other facial expressions.

At DermaTouch RN, we use Botox® to treat moderate to severe forehead lines, frown lines and glabellar lines between the brows, crow’s feet around the eyes, creases in the lips, dimples in the chin, and masseter slimming.

We also offer Botox® for non-cosmetic concerns such as TMJ pain, hyperhidrosis, chronic migraines, cervical dystonia, and overactive bladder. Whether your goal is to refresh your appearance or find relief from a medical condition, our team will develop a personalized treatment plan designed to deliver natural, lasting results.

How are Botox® Injections Performed?

Botox® treatment is injected directly into specific facial muscles that cause your wrinkles. Forehead wrinkles and lines between the eyes are treated with five injections of Botox®. Crow’s feet typically require three injections. While the treatment is relatively painless for most patients, a topical anesthetic can be used. This is a generally quick treatment and once a consultation has been completed this treatment takes 15 minutes or less.

Combining Botox with Other Aesthetic Treatments

Many patients achieve their most satisfying results by combining Botox® with complementary aesthetic treatments. Because Botox® addresses dynamic wrinkles caused by muscle movement, it works especially well alongside hyaluronic acid dermal fillers, which restore lost volume and smooth deeper static folds that Botox® alone cannot correct. This combination approach allows our team to treat multiple signs of aging in a single visit, delivering a more comprehensive and harmonious rejuvenation.

Botox® can also be paired with hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers for facial volume, skin resurfacing treatments, medical-grade facials, and other services offered at DermaTouch RN to enhance and prolong your overall results.

During your consultation, our providers will recommend a personalized treatment plan that may incorporate multiple modalities for the best possible outcome.

What is Recovery Like After Botox®?

There is no downtime after Botox® Cosmetic procedures. You may have some localized swelling and tenderness at the injection site. These symptoms generally last less than three days and can easily be managed with cold compresses and over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication.

How Long Will Botox® Results Last For Facial Wrinkles?

After Botox® injections, patients will see a more youthful appearance that lasts three to four months, but this varies by patient. You can see how Botox® reduces wrinkles in our Botox® before and after pictures.

FAQ's

• How much should I expect to pay for Botox?

  The overall cost of a Botox treatment will depend on the number of units of Botox needed to achieve your desired results. At DermaTouch RN, the cost of Botox ranges from $9.50 to $12.00 per unit, depending on the number of units you receive in a single treatment. The average new patient will receive 30 to 40 units as they are introduced to Botox. However, the FDA recommended dosage is 64 units for approved areas (forehead, glabella and crow’s feet).

  • Treatment of 50 Units or More: $9.50 Per Unit
  • Treatment of 30 to 49 Units: $10.00 Per Unit
  • Treatment of 29 Units or Less: $12.00 Per Unit
  • Aesthetic Club Members:  $9.00 Per Unit for Treatment of 20 Units or More

  The cost per unit not only includes the price of the product, but also the time required for one of our skilled injectors to administer your treatment. During your consultation, your injector will develop a personalized treatment plan for Botox and provide the cost prior to treatment.

• How long does Botox last?

  The results of Botox vary between patients and treatment areas. Most often, patients can enjoy the benefits of Botox for up to four months. Your injector will recommend your next appointment based on your results and aesthetic goals.

• What areas are good for Botox?

  The most common areas treated with Botox include frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead lines that develop from repeated muscle contractions that occur when we frown, squint, smile and raise our eyebrows. However, treatment with Botox is customized to your aesthetic goals and needs and may include:

  • Forehead Lines
  • Frown Lines
  • Glabellar Lines (vertical lines between the eyebrows)
  • Crow’s Feet (outer corner of the eye)
  • Eyebrow Lift
  • Under Eye Lines
  • Bunny Lines (horizontal lines on the nose)
  • Gummy Smile / Lip Flip (relax the top lip)
  • Lip Lines (on the upper and lower lip)
  • Marionette Lines (the corner of the mouth to improve jowls)
  • Bruxism (teeth grinding and a slimmer, more oval shaped face)
  • Pitted Skin / Cobblestone Chin (dimpled chin)
  • Platysmal Bands (reduce vertical banding in the neck)
  • Neck Rings
  • Hyperhidrosis (reduce sweaty armpits and palms)
  • Migraines (minimize frequency and severity of migraine headaches)

   

  During your consultation, your injector will determine the appropriate treatment for any areas you wish to address and make recommendations.

• What is the cheaper version of Botox?

  Botox Cosmetic is the top selling neurotoxin product and the brand most trusted by medical providers for its effectiveness and safety.

  There is not a generic form of Botox Cosmetic and you should always be suspicious of providers offering bargain or cheap Botox. The unit price for Botox includes the price of the product and the skill and expertise of the injector that is administering your treatment. Always choose a medical professional that is licensed, trained, and experienced in treating patients with Botox Cosmetic.

  The best way to save money on your Botox treatments is to join Aesthetic Club, our membership program, and pay only $9.00 per unit for a treatment of 20 units or more. Plus, enroll in Allē, the loyalty program by the makers of Botox Cosmetic. With Allē, formerly Brilliant Distinctions^®, members earn points to save on future treatments. It’s easy and free to join!

• Can you stop Botox once you start?

  Botox is not a permanent treatment. Botox temporarily reduces muscle activity in areas treated to prevent and smooth lines and wrinkles. If you discontinue treatment, the muscle activity and lines gradually return.

• What can you use instead of Botox?

  Botox and Dysport are both Botulinum Type A Neurotoxins used to prevent and minimize the appearance of facial lines and wrinkles. At DermaTouch RN, we inject thousands of vials of Dysport and Botox each year and have determined these products to be the premier choices available in the market today.

  The overall treatment cost and effectiveness of Botox and Dysport are comparable. However, there are two differences to be aware of.

  • The price per unit of Dysport is less; however, more units (typically 2.5 to 3 times) must be administered to achieve similar results to that of Botox due to its lower molecular weight.
  • Dysport tends to spread to a wider area, or diffuses more, than Botox. So, it is important to choose a skilled injector that is familiar with how Dysport works compared to Botox.

  Whether you prefer Dysport or Botox, it is important to have a skilled injector that is knowledgeable in facial anatomy and understands how each product functions in the body. Our clinic has over 14 years of experience with neurotoxin injections. Our master injector and national trainer provides on-going coaching and training to our team of injectors so you can be confident in the results we provide.
