Botox Treatment in Downtown Scottsdale

You may have been thinking about getting BOTOX® lately but you are still unsure. Hopefully this post will give you some answers and help you determine if BOTOX® is right for you.

BOTOX® is the one and only FDA approved treatment to temporarily improve the appearance of both moderate to severe frown lines between the brows and crow’s feet lines in adults. BOTOX® is a medical prescription and can only be administered by a licensed medical professional like the doctors at True Med Spa.

BOTOX® is a neurotoxin that can treat a variety of medical conditions like excess sweating and overactive bladder, but is most commonly used to improve the look of wrinkles on the face. Many men and women use BOTOX® as a part of their anti-aging regimen. The injectable can be highly affective to reverse the hands of time especially when used with other anti-aging treatments and a strong skin care routine.

Is BOTOX® right for me?

Anyone can receive BOTOX® treatments but it is important that you discuss whether or not you are an ideal candidate with your doctor. People who suffer from certain medical conditions like ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease, myasthenia gravis, or Lambert-Eaton syndrome should not receive BOTOX® treatments and you should also avoid treatment if you are allergic to any of its ingredients. 

Schedule a consultation with True Med Spa to determine if you’re a good candidate for BOTOX® injection.

BOTOX Injection Sites

BOTOX Forehead Injections

One of the most common areas for BOTOX® treatment is the forehead for horizontal wrinkles and in between the brow area for vertical wrinkles known as “11s”. BOTOX® targets one of the main reasons for forehead wrinkles, which is the overuse and repeated frequent use of specific muscles that cause frowning or squinting. As your doctor injects BOTOX®, they will work to temporarily reduce muscle activity and thereby reducing the appearance of those lines.

BOTOX Around Eyes

Another very common area for BOTOX® treatment is in the area around the eyes for the treatment of crows feet. Your doctor will inject three main areas around both of your eyes. By injecting BOTOX® ® into those muscles around the eyes you will be reducing the muscle activity and lessening the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

BOTOX® in Lips

Both men and women experience fine lines and wrinkles around their mouths. Wrinkles can occur from a multitude of different causes including sun exposure, smoking, or simply as a result of aging. The doctors at True Med Spa can use BOTOX® around the muscles of the mouth to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles as part of your overall anti-aging treatment plan. Doctors should use caution when using BOTOX® around the mouth as a little goes a long way.

BOTOX® Eyebrow Lift

Doctors are using BOTOX® to help achieve the look of an ‘eyebrow lift’ without the surgery by injecting BOTOX® into the area surrounding your eyebrows. Your doctor will have to have a very detailed understanding of the underlying anatomy of the brow area and he or she will be sure to take a look at each individual’s eyebrow movement. Your doctor will then carefully inject BOTOX® in the muscles around the brow and ideally it will cause the eyebrow to rest in a higher and lifted position, giving you the look of an eyebrow lift!

There are other areas that can be treated with BOTOX® so be sure to consult with your medical professional about treatment options for you. If you are in the Scottsdale area, be sure to reach out to our team to schedule your free consultation and see if BOTOX® is right for you.
