Botox in Charlotte

Botox is a neuromodulator, which is a class of wrinkle-relaxing injections that also includes Dysport and Xeomin. Botox and other neurotoxins work by blocking the nerve receptors in muscles to reduce dynamic facial movements and smooth wrinkles. As a result, you’ll look refreshed and be able to make facial expressions in a subtle, attractive way.

After receiving treatment, you can expect to see results in the first 7 days, with full results visible by the end of 14 days. At that time, you’ll see softened wrinkles, less movement, and your skin will have an overall smoother appearance.

Botox can last 3 months, sometimes longer, but this time depends on how your body metabolizes the neurotoxin, as well as some other factors.

Our injectors personalize the placement and amount of Botox used for each guest. Facial injections require nuance, so we consider our patient’s particular concerns, face movements and face shape.

To sustain Botox’s anti-aging results long term, we recommend coming in every 3 to 6 months, or after the neuromodulator has completely stopped working.

When a member of our team injects Xeomin into the targeted muscles, the chemical blocks the muscles’ ability to communicate. As a result of this lack of communication, your muscles are temporarily unable to contract. This allows the skin that lies above that unmoving muscle to soften and relax. When the muscles no longer can move, there are no more wrinkles in the skin.

Dysport prevents the receptors in the nervous system from responding to stimuli. This keeps the muscles from moving for an extended period, ranging from weeks to months. When the muscles relax, the facial lines vanish.

Both dermal fillers and Botox are injectable formulas that scientists have extensively tested and proven to deliver safe, effective enhancements. However, these formulas work to achieve different goals.

Dermal filler formulas are gel-like, typically containing hyaluronic acid (HA). Your body naturally produces HA to moisturize your skin and maintain its plump, smooth appearance. By harnessing these capabilities, our professionals use dermal fillers to restore volume with precision. From plumping the lips to defining the chin and cheekbones, fillers sculpt your features and enhance natural contours.

While fillers target “static” wrinkles that remain when your face is at rest, Botox is ideal for smoothing “dynamic” wrinkles caused by repeated expressions. Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin are all neurotoxins, also known as wrinkle relaxers, which work by limiting specific muscle movements.

During your consultation, we’ll discuss your goals and assess your facial anatomy to help you decide between fillers and Botox in Charlotte. In some cases, we may recommend combining the formulas to smooth lines while refining contours, achieving comprehensive rejuvenation.
