Botox • Jeuveau
What are neurotoxins? Neurotoxins are wrinkle-relaxing injections of botulinum toxin – commercially known as Botox Cosmetic and Jeuveau, and are used strategically to relax certain muscles that contribute to fine lines and wrinkles resulting in a smoother, more youthful appearance.
Just as Kleenex is synonymous with tissues, Botox is a catch-all term for all injectable neurotoxins, so for ease of understanding, our website refers to all neurotoxins as Botox.
The most common treatment areas are frown lines between the eyebrows, forehead lines, crow’s feet (around the eyes), and bunny lines (sides of nose).
Other off-label uses include horizontal neck lines, chin dimples, jowls, Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), jawline slimming, TMJ relief, and jaw clenching.
Botox injections are non-invasive and require little to no downtime. Botox can be administered along with other procedures at the same office visit.

Good Botox is never cheap…cheap Botox is never good!
During your complimentary consultation, we will assess your muscle mass and areas of concern and create a customized dosing formula that best suits your aesthetic goals.
Depending on many factors including areas being treated, strength of muscles, desired results, previous history of treatment, and age, our typical patient usually receives anywhere from 40-60+ units. Our pricing is $13/unit. Our VIP Platinum and VIP Gold Members receive a discounted price per unit. Please see VIP Memberships for further details.
As we age, our skin loses collagen and elastin and doesn’t bounce back like it did when we were younger, so the longer you wait to address your fine lines, the deeper and more pronounced those lines will become over time.
We recommend incorporating Botox early on into your anti-aging routine before deep wrinkles and creases begin to set in.
Botox results are typically noticed within 1 week but take 2 weeks to see the full results. At 2 weeks, if you don’t feel you’ve reached your desired results, please contact us to discuss next steps.
It is not unusual for a patient to want to add more units once they’ve become accustomed to the overall Botox experience.
Botox results ultimately depend on how a patient metabolizes the product, the strength of muscles in the treatment area, and the number of units given. Most patients find their Botox results begin to diminish at around 3 months.
We believe patients have the best results when they adhere to a quarterly injection schedule.
Injections for facial slimming, jaw clenching, TMJ, or excessive sweating, typically last up anywhere from 4 to 8 months since the areas treated require a greater number of units.
It is not unusual for a patient to want to add more units once they’ve become accustomed to the overall Botox experience.
Botox doesn’t require any down time. However, we suggest you plan your Botox procedure 3 weeks ahead of any special occasion in the event of bruising and/or swelling.
Botox injections are relatively painless. If needed, we can use ice packs on the injection areas to help numb the skin, but most patients don’t have any concerns.
