Botox Cosmetic Specialist
A combination of factors can cause facial lines. It’s not just about the cellular changes that may occur, or reduction of collagen, or damage caused by free radicals from the sun and the environment.
Repeated muscle contractions from frowning, squinting, or raising eyebrows cause the skin to furrow and fold, gradually resulting in the formation of facial lines. BOTOX ® or other neurotoxins work beneath the surface and temporarily reduce the underlying muscle activity that causes moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines to help them look visibly smoother. Botox® is one of the most widely known brands of botulinum toxin injections, but there are many others that are FDA-approved as well such as Xeomin®. At Urban Dragonfly we carry both.
Botox or neurotoxin cosmetic injections are used to address signs of aging. This treatment can smooth fine lines and wrinkles and reshape several areas of your face:
- Eyebrows- the number 11’s
- Forehead wrinkles
- Nose reshaping
- Eyes- crow’s feet
- Lips- the lip flip
- Chin- pebbling of the chin
- Jawline shaping

- And treat medical conditions such as excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis)

What should I expect during Botox treatment?
Your provider uses a fine needle, smallest available to inject neurotoxin into the treatment area. Depending on the issue, you may receive several injections in different spots.
Discomfort is usually mild. The injections may sting and feel uncomfortable, similar to plucking hair, but the procedure is over quickly. Topical anesthesia can be used as well.,
Unless your provider says otherwise, you can return to work and most activities immediately after treatment. To reduce the change of migration of the product to non-treated areas. Stay upright (don’t lie down) for three to four hours.
Avoid physical exertion for 24 hours.
On average, the effects of Botox last about three to four months. Re-treatment is recommended at this time.
