Botox® in Houston & San Antonio, TX

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.

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.

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.

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.
