Skip to content Botox® is a treatment approved by the FDA that is injected into the skin to temporarily relax facial muscles. It’s a popular cosmetic option for people who want to reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles. By inhibiting the nerve signals that prompt muscle contraction, Botox® effectively prevents these muscles from tightening, which in turn helps to avoid the formation of deeper lines and creases on the face. This treatment is often used to reduce wrinkles on the forehead, smooth out the lines between the eyebrows, and lessen the crow’s feet around the eyes. These areas are typically linked to aging and stress. The procedure is quick and non-surgical, making it a great choice for anyone looking for a quick refresh without the recovery time that comes with more invasive surgeries.
Botox® in Wilmington, NC, is ideal for adults looking to soften dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive facial expressions. Results typically start appearing within 3 to 7 days, with full effects visible in about two weeks. The treatment typically takes about 3 to 4 months, depending on personal factors like muscle activity and metabolism. Botox® is a great option for individuals seeking a non-surgical, quick, and effective way to reduce wrinkles. It is especially beneficial for those who want natural, subtle enhancements. However, it is not recommended for individuals who are pregnant, breastfeeding, have allergies to Botox® ingredients, or have certain neurological or muscular disorders. Regular maintenance treatments are recommended to keep your skin looking smooth and youthful.

The amount of Botox® needed varies depending on the treatment area, muscle strength, and individual aesthetic goals. For example, the forehead may require 10-20 units, frown lines around 20-30 units, and crow’s feet around 5-15 units per side. During your consultation at Beach Medical Aesthetics in Wilmington, NC, your provider will determine the right dosage for optimal results.
Most patients experience only minimal discomfort during Botox® injections. The treatment uses a thin needle, and any small sting you feel during the injection is quick. A numbing cream can be requested and applied before the treatment if needed.
Botox® can complement previous cosmetic procedures, such as facelifts, eyelid surgery, or brow lifts, by enhancing results and maintaining a youthful appearance. However, it’s important to wait until you are fully healed before receiving Botox®.
Swelling, mild redness, or bruising in the area injected can occur but usually resolve within a few hours to a day. Serious side effects are rare, and our providers at Beach Medical Aesthetics in Wilmington, NC, will discuss all safety precautions before treatment.
Botox® can be used alongside dermal fillers, laser treatments, and skincare routines to improve overall facial rejuvenation. Many patients choose a combination approach to achieve a more youthful, balanced appearance.
When administered properly, Botox® can provide results that look natural. At Beach Medical Aesthetics, our aim is to reduce wrinkles while still allowing for natural facial movements.
