BOTOX®

Hartford | Avon CT

It’s time to stop worrying about getting older because today there are plenty of non-surgical treatments to help keep you looking as young as you feel. You’re probably already familiar with BOTOX®, the world’s most popular non-surgical cosmetic medical treatment. This injectable muscle relaxant smooths away lines and wrinkles around your eyes and on your forehead, leaving you with that just-had-a-vacation appearance. Most commonly used to handle crow’s feet, frown lines between the eyes, and horizontal forehead lines, BOTOX® is our specialty. Results last about 3-4 months and are quickly revived with a maintenance treatment.

BOTOX® is a safe purified protein that has been used for two decades to treat a variety of medical conditions. With a fine needle, small amounts of BOTOX® Cosmetic are injected directly into the muscles that are responsible for causing wrinkles, allowing them to relax. We have a light hand with BOTOX® and administer only the amount needed to provide you with a natural appearance. Your angry, tired, or squinty look disappears, but your ability to show expression remains.

Your worry-free results will last about 3-4 months, at which time, you simply return for a touchup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Areas Can I Treat With BOTOX®?

BOTOX® is best known for relaxing lines and wrinkles around the eyes (crow’s feet), between the eyes (glabella), and on the forehead. Additional applications include the treatment of “smoker’s lines” by relaxing the area above the lip.

Will My Face Look Frozen From Getting BOTOX?

While BOTOX® relaxes the muscles that cause lines and wrinkles, it does not hinder facial expression. At Radiance Medspa, we strive for natural-looking results, which means we never use more product or more injections than needed. You will look like yourself, just younger and refreshed. And you’ll still be able to laugh, smile, and wink!

How Long Will My BOTOX® Results Last?

BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments typically last 3-4 months before a touchup is needed. Many clients find that with repeated use, results begin to last longer.

Does BOTOX® Hurt?

BOTOX® is injected with a fine needle, so some pricking occurs, however discomfort is minimal and subsides once the treatment is complete. You may experience soreness or swelling for a few days following treatment.

Is BOTOX® Safe?

The world’s most popular cosmetic treatment, BOTOX® injections have been performed on millions of women and men worldwide with safe and effective results. Patients with certain neuromuscular disorders such as ALS, myasthenia, or Lambert-Eaton syndrome may be at increased risk of serious side effects.

Does BOTOX® Have Applications In Addition To Eliminating Wrinkles?

We use BOTOX® to control excessive underarm sweating. By blocking the chemical signals that stimulate the sweat glands, BOTOX® can significantly reduce underarm sweating for 6 months or more.
