Are you looking in the mirror and the fine lines on your face seem more pronounced than they used to be? You know that a radical facelift isn’t the answer but you’re looking for options that provide you with smoother skin and less obvious fine lines and crow’s feet. The answer might be BOTOX injections. BOTOX in Phoenix is a non-invasive treatment that lessens the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles to offer the smooth appearance you deserve.
Botox is FDA-approved for the treatment and prevention of wrinkles of the upper face. The procedure offers quick, dramatic results for patients in Phoenix. BOTOX® Cosmetic is the only 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® Cosmetic targets one of the underlying causes of frown lines and crow’s feet—the repeated muscle contractions from frowning and squinting over the years. Your specialist will inject these muscles with Botox® Cosmetic to temporarily reduce muscle activity. You will begin to notice a visible smoothing of your crow’s feet lines and frown lines between your brows.
Wrinkles result from a combination of many factors. It’s not just about cellular changes that can occur over time, reduction of collagen, or damage caused by free radicals in the sun and the environment. When you frown or concentrate, the muscles between your brows contract, causing your skin to furrow and fold. And when you squint, the muscles around your eyes contract and cause crow’s feet. Botox® Cosmetic works beneath the skin’s surface and targets the underlying muscle activity that causes frown lines and crow’s feet.
The process of getting Botox in Phoenix begins with a consultation with a licensed specialist. You discuss your needs and goals for Botox treatments. During this phase, you can ask any questions you may have. The specialist works with you to create a treatment plan, which can include future visits and injections.
With a plan in place and questions answered, the specialist places marks in the area where you want to minimize the look and appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The final step is the injections at the spots that were marked. Your first visit takes longer because of the consultation and treatment plan, so you can expect future visits to take less time.

However, in some patients, it lasts a shorter amount of time, between one and two months, while other patients enjoy longer-lasting results, between five and six months. In many cases, the first BOTOX treatment in Phoenix lasts less time than future injections.
For most patients, the results of BOTOX begin to appear in two to three days. The full effect of the treatment becomes noticeable in one to two weeks.
It should only take around 15 minutes to inject the Botox. However, you should plan a little longer for your initial treatment to discuss your goals and address any concerns you might have about the injections and aftercare.
In the simplest of terms, Botox freezes the muscles, while other dermal fillers add fullness to a specific area. Botox uses purified bacteria to freeze the muscles while dermal fillers inject other materials, depending on the type.
