Rejuvenate Your Skin With Botox Services
Our Family Health offers cosmetic Botox services for $12/unit to help our patients achieve a more youthful and refreshed appearance. Botox is a well-tolerated and safe cosmetic procedure that has been used for decades to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines on the face. Our medical providers have received extensive training and certification, so you can feel confident to trust us with your cosmetic Botox needs.
What is Botox?
Botox is a purified protein derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. It works by temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles and fine lines on the face. Botox injections are most commonly used to treat wrinkles between the eyebrows, crow’s feet around the eyes, and forehead lines.
How does Botox work?
During a Botox treatment, a small amount of the purified protein is injected into the targeted muscles using a fine needle. The injection process only takes a few minutes, and there is minimal discomfort. Botox will take effect over the next four to six days by relaxing the muscles and reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines while maintaining a natural amount of facial expression. The effects of Botox are not permanent and usually last for three to six months, depending on how fast your body breaks it down. Our medical professionals will work with you to customize a treatment approach that will produce your desired results.
Who Can Benefit From Botox?
Botox is an excellent option for anyone who wants to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines on the face. It is safe for most people and has been used for decades with an excellent safety record. We typically recommend Botox for people who want to address wrinkles between the eyebrows, crow’s feet, and forehead lines. Cosmetic Botox is primarily used to decrease wrinkles and fine lines of the forehead and around the eyes. The lower half of the face is more frequently treated with dermal fillers. We share additional benefits about Botox in this blog post.

Most people will not experience pain with Botox injections. Some individuals will experience a small sting of the tiny needle during the insertion and a small amount of redness which goes away quickly.
How long does it take for Botox to work?
Botox starts to work within a few days with optimal effect in 10 to 14 days.
What areas of the face can be treated with Botox?
We typically recommend Botox for people who want to address wrinkles between the eyebrows, crow’s feet, and forehead lines. Cosmetic Botox is less effective to treat the upper lip, mouth area, or neck lines. Dermal fillers are more effective in wrinkle reduction in these areas.
