At SkinOvation Advanced Aesthetics Med Spa, we understand that feeling confident in your appearance is important. If you're looking to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, Botox Cosmetic may be the right solution for you. Our expert team provides personalized Botox treatments designed to help you achieve a natural, youthful look.

Overview

What Is Botox

Botox Cosmetic is an FDA-approved treatment made from botulinum toxin type A. It works by relaxing specific facial muscles so they don't contract and cause wrinkles. This makes it effective for treating dynamic wrinkles — lines caused by facial expressions like frowning, squinting, or raising your eyebrows. Administered by our trained professionals, Botox can help refresh your skin with a quick, non-surgical treatment, allowing you to look more youthful without significant downtime.

Botox vs. other neuromodulators

While Botox is one of the most well-known neuromodulators, there are other similar products available that can also be effective in reducing wrinkles and fine lines. Some of the popular alternatives include Xeomin, Jeuveau and Dysport. Although all of these products work by relaxing the muscles responsible for wrinkles, there are some differences worth noting:

  • Xeomin: Xeomin is often referred to as a "naked" version of Botox, as it does not contain any additives or complexing proteins. This makes it a good option for individuals who may be sensitive to other neuromodulators.
  • Jeuveau: Jeuveau, often called "Newtox," is similar to Botox in formulation and efficacy. It is primarily marketed for cosmetic use and is often positioned as a more affordable option.
  • Dysport: Dysport has a slightly different formulation that allows it to diffuse more widely, making it a good option for treating larger areas like the forehead. It may also have a quicker onset of results compared to Botox.

The choice between Botox and other neuromodulators depends on factors such as the treatment area and individual preferences. We can help you decide which product is best suited to your needs based on your specific goals and medical history.

Who Are the Best Candidates for Botox?

Botox isn't for everyone, and we always prioritize safety and ensuring the treatment is right for each person. You might be a good candidate if:

  • You have dynamic wrinkles that bother you (such as forehead lines, frown lines, or crow's feet).
  • You're over 18 years old and in good health.
  • You want a non-surgical way to reduce the signs of aging.
  • You have realistic expectations about what Botox can achieve.
  • You're not pregnant or breastfeeding.

Botox is often a good choice for those who want convenience. It's sometimes called a "lunchtime procedure" because you can receive the treatment and return to your normal activities without much downtime. Both men and women can benefit from the procedure, especially those starting to see signs of aging but not ready for surgery. The results are subtle but noticeable, making it perfect for people who want to look younger without dramatic changes.

If you have deeper wrinkles or sagging skin, Botox alone might not be enough. During your consultation, we'll help you decide if it's right for you or if combining it with other treatments would give you better results. At SkinOvation, we offer many advanced aesthetic treatments that can be used with Botox for full rejuvenation, such as dermal fillers, laser therapy, or skin resurfacing.

What Botox Isn't Good For

While Botox is excellent for treating dynamic wrinkles, it's important to understand what it can't do:

  • Static Wrinkles: These are wrinkles and lines that are present even when your face is at rest. Static wrinkles are often caused by a loss of collagen, elasticity, and overall skin volume. Treatments like dermal fillers or laser resurfacing are usually better suited for these types of wrinkles.
  • Sagging Skin: Botox cannot lift or tighten loose or sagging skin. If you're looking for a solution for sagging skin, treatments like radiofrequency therapy, skin tightening procedures, or even surgical options might be more appropriate.
  • Volume Loss: Botox doesn't add volume to the face. If you're dealing with volume loss in areas like your cheeks or lips, dermal fillers are typically the preferred treatment. Fillers help restore lost volume and can provide a more youthful, fuller look.
  • Deep Folds: Botox is not ideal for deep folds such as nasolabial folds (the lines running from the nose to the corners of the mouth). Fillers are often the best option for reducing the appearance of deep facial folds.

Understanding what Botox can and cannot do helps ensure you choose the best treatment for your needs. During your consultation at SkinOvation, we'll help guide you through the options to determine what will work best for your unique concerns.

What to Expect From the Procedure

When you visit SkinOvation Advanced Aesthetics Med Spa, we make sure the treatment is smooth and comfortable.

First, our experts will discuss your cosmetic goals, evaluate your facial anatomy, and determine the best approach. This helps us personalize the treatment for you and ensure you get the best results. We'll also answer any questions you have so you fully understand the procedure and its benefits.

Before the procedure, we'll clean the treatment area to remove any makeup or impurities, creating a safe environment for the injections. We may use ice packs to help reduce discomfort and minimize bruising.

Botox will then be injected into specific muscles using a very fine needle. The number of injections depends on the areas being treated and the severity of the lines. The treatment usually takes about 10-15 minutes and involves multiple small injections. Our approach is always minimally invasive, aiming for natural-looking results that are comfortable for you.

After your treatment, you can return to your daily activities right away. We'll provide specific aftercare instructions to ensure you get the best results, including things to avoid for a short time after treatment.

Your results will start to appear after approximately 3-4 days. However, it can take up to 14 days for maximum results to be visible.

Are Botox injections painful?

Most people describe the discomfort as a small pinch. If you're concerned about sensitivity, we can use ice packs or numbing cream to help. Many clients find the treatment very tolerable and appreciate how quickly it's done.

Cost of Botox in North Carolina

The cost of the procedure depends on the number of units you need and which areas are being treated. Botox is usually priced per unit, with the average cost being between $10 and $15 per unit.

The number of units needed for each treatment area can vary based on individual factors, such as muscle strength, the desired outcome, and the injector's technique. Below is a general guide to the typical range of units used for popular treatment areas:

  • Eyebrow Lift: 2-5 units — Effective for achieving a subtle lift to open up the eyes.
  • Crow's Feet (each side): 5-15 units — This range works well for smoothing out lines around the eyes.
  • Forehead Lines: 10-30 units — Depending on the depth and number of lines, this range helps reduce horizontal wrinkles on the forehead.
  • Frown Lines (Glabellar Lines): 10-25 units — Typically used to soften the frown lines between the eyebrows.
  • Lip Flip: 2-12 units — Enhances the appearance of the upper lip for a fuller look.
  • Smile Lift (Corners of Mouth): 3-6 units — Lifts the corners of the mouth for a more relaxed, uplifted smile.
  • Neck/Platysmal Lines: 25-50 units — The exact amount will depend on the number and prominence of neck bands.

These ranges are meant to provide a general overview, but the exact number of units is best determined during your consultation, where we will assess your unique needs to help you achieve your desired results.

It's important to remember that while price matters, the experience of your provider is even more important. At SkinOvation, we have skilled practitioners who use careful techniques to deliver safe, natural-looking results. The quality of your Botox treatment depends on the injector's skill, and choosing an experienced provider will help you get the most value from your investment.

How It Compares

Related Treatments We Offer

Depending on the areas you'd like to have treated and your unique needs, alternative injectables like Xeomin or Jeuveau might be a better choice for you than Botox. Xeomin is a "naked" neurotoxin, meaning it doesn't contain any unnecessary proteins, which may make it less likely to cause resistance over time. Jeuveau, often referred to as "Newtox," is designed specifically for aesthetic purposes and has shown to be highly effective for frown lines. Both options offer smoother, more natural-looking results and may be ideal depending on your specific concerns and treatment goals.

Other anti-aging treatments we offer include DERMAL FILLERS, which restore lost volume to the face, and various CHEMICAL PEELS, which can address hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, loose skin and more. In many cases, these treatments can be used alongside Botox to rejuvenate your overall appearance.

Ask a Question
Where Do You Provide Botox Treatments

We provide Botox treatments at SkinOvation Advanced Aesthetics, conveniently located in Arden, NC, just a short drive from Asheville, Waynesville, Hendersonville, and other nearby areas. Our location serves clients from Buncombe and Henderson counties, ensuring top-quality care is always within reach.

Is Botox Safe?

Yes, Botox is FDA-approved and has been used safely for cosmetic purposes for many years. When administered by a trained professional, the risk of side effects is very low. At SkinOvation, all our procedures are performed by licensed experts who understand facial anatomy, ensuring the treatment is as safe as possible.

Will I Still Be Able To Make Facial Expressions

Yes! Our goal at SkinOvation is to give you natural-looking results. Botox will soften your lines, but you'll still be able to smile, frown, and express yourself. Our careful approach ensures you can still make facial expressions without exaggerated wrinkles.

How Long Do The Results of Boxtox Last?

The results of Botox usually last between 3 and 4 months, depending on factors like your metabolism and muscle activity. Many people schedule follow-up treatments to maintain their results throughout the year. Regular treatments can also help prevent new wrinkles from forming, as the muscles stay relaxed.

Are There Any Side Effects?

Some people might experience mild side effects like redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site. These side effects usually go away after a few days. In rare cases, patients may have headaches or a drooping eyelid, but these effects are temporary. We provide detailed aftercare instructions to help reduce any side effects and make your recovery as smooth as possible.

How Soon Will I See Results?

Results from Botox usually start to show within 3 to 7 days, with full effects visible after about two weeks. You'll gradually notice fewer lines and a smoother appearance. To get the best results, it's important to follow the aftercare instructions and avoid activities that could affect how Botox settles.

Can Botox Prevent Wrinkles?

Yes, Botox can be used to prevent wrinkles. By reducing muscle movement, Botox helps prevent deeper wrinkles from forming, which is why many younger clients use it to maintain a youthful look. Preventative Botox is particularly helpful for people in their late 20s and early 30s who want to address the first signs of aging.
