and manufactured by Allergan, BOTOX® is the most popular cosmetic procedure in the nation. This popularity is primarily the result of its effectiveness at minimizing and preventing wrinkles combined with incredible convenience.
On top of that, Botox is essentially pain-free. Derived from botulinum toxin type A, it works by blocking nerve signals to the muscles responsible for wrinkles. This makes the facial muscles unable to contract in the areas causing the aging signs, allowing the muscles to relax back into an at-rest state.
To understand how BOTOX works, it’s important to understand how these stubborn lines and creases appear. Over time, the underlying facial muscles become stiff and have more and more trouble returning to an at-rest state. This causes the overlying skin to bunch and form wrinkles.
BOTOX treats the wrinkles that appear when you show facial expressions. It does not treat permanent lines that appear when the face is at rest.
Below are some of the common treatment areas for BOTOX injections:
BOTOX can also be an effective tool to treat migraine headaches and contour the jaw/jawline.
BOTOX is not an ideal option for restoring cheek volume, treating moderate to harsh lines near the nose and mouth, or addressing undereye hollows. For these facial aging issues, consider our many injectable fillers.
Botox softens the patterns created by repeated muscle contractions, which can make the face look tired or stern. By relaxing these facial muscles, the face appears more open and approachable without sacrificing your natural expression.
Benefits include:

We see a wide range of patients, from those in their 20s looking to address forehead wrinkles early to mature patients wanting to smooth out severe frown lines.

Safety is our priority, so there are a few disqualifications and medical conditions to consider:
It’s important to keep in mind that aging is a natural process that everybody undergoes.
This inevitable change can take a toll on many men and women. BOTOX is a great option for slowing those unavoidable signs of aging. There are things to consider before receiving treatment.

and everyone’s body reacts differently to injections. Lasting results vary depending on multiple factors, such as age, metabolism, and the area of injection. Younger patients with a high metabolism will need to receive treatment more often than those who are older. Over time, patients may see a lasting decrease in the depth of lines and wrinkles.
To maintain results and prevent aging, BOTOX should be administered roughly every 3-4 months.

There is no recovery time or downtime required after a Botox treatment session. Most patients leave the office with tiny, temporary bumps at the injection site that usually fade within a few hours.
It’s important to maintain aftercare protocols as directed, such as avoiding massaging the injection sites and not drinking alcohol for 24 hours. Most St. Louis Botox patients see little to no side effects. Potential side effects include redness, swelling, and bruising at the injection sites.
We recommend staying upright for about four hours and skipping heavy exercise for the first day. To keep your rejuvenated appearance smooth year-round, most patients return for maintenance every three to four months.
You won’t see an instant change the moment the injections are finished. Botox work begins by temporarily blocking nerve signals and chemical signals to the forehead muscles and other targeted areas. Most people start noticing the muscles relax within three to five days, but the final, "settled" look takes a full two weeks to appear.
Results typically last between three and four months. Whether we are treating horizontal lines on the forehead or vertical bands in the neck, your individual metabolism will influence the timeline. Over time, many regular patients find that their muscles "learn" to stay relaxed, which can lead to even better results with consistent care.
The cost of BOTOX varies depending on factors like the number of injections being performed and the number of units being used and which injectors you select.
Avani Derm Spa offers affordable pricing combined with top-level expertise. All of our nurse injectors are experienced and trained personally by our expert in Botox St. Louis plastic surgeon, Dr. Nayak using his customized approach to provide ideal results. Expected Botox pricing at Avani Derm Spa is $13.75 per unit.
