What Is BOTOX® Cosmetic?
BOTOX® Cosmetic is an FDA-approved injectable treatment derived from a purified form of botulinum toxin. When administered in small, precise doses, it can temporarily relax the facial muscles responsible for expression lines and dynamic wrinkles. This reduction in muscle activity can smooth the overlying skin, soften the appearance of fine lines, and prevent deeper creases from forming over time.
What Can BOTOX® Cosmetic Treat?
When administered by a skilled provider like Dr. Hinojosa, BOTOX® Cosmetic can address a plethora of moderate to severe dynamic wrinkles, such as:
- Frown lines (also called “11s”) between the eyebrows
- Forehead creases
- Crow’s feet at the outer corners of the eyes
- Bunny lines on the nose
- Vertical lip lines (“smoker’s lines”)
- Neck bands (platysmal bands)
For optimal results, BOTOX® Cosmetic can sometimes complement facial contouring surgeries, such as a facelift or eyelid surgery. During your consultation, Dr. Hinojosa will thoroughly review your options and help you develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique goals.
How Is the BOTOX® Cosmetic Treatment Performed?
The BOTOX® Cosmetic procedure is typically straightforward and quick, only taking about 10–15 minutes in most cases. Small amounts of the solution are injected directly into specific facial muscles with a fine needle. While discomfort is usually minimal, Dr. Hinojosa can apply a topical anesthesia prior to the injection if you so choose. No anesthesia or downtime is usually required, and patients can usually return to their normal routine right after the appointment.
The effects of BOTOX® Cosmetic generally last around four months. For this reason, many patients benefit from attending follow-up treatment sessions.
How Much Does BOTOX® Cosmetic Cost in Corpus Christi?
The latest statistics from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) list the average cost of BOTOX® Cosmetic as $435 per treatment session.2 With this in mind, pricing for BOTOX® Cosmetic will depend on a number of factors, including the number of sessions administered, the amount of units used, the areas being treated, and more.
