Age Gracefully & Reduce Wrinkles
Botox is a safe and effective way to reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles caused by the overuse of certain facial muscles to convey emotions. Botox is made from a neurotoxin protein called botulinum toxin, which is carefully administered in small doses to specific areas of the face. Botox temporarily freezes targeted facial muscles to soften your wrinkles and help you age gracefully and maintain a youthful appearance. Botox is also an effective treatment for TMJ when administered by a skilled professional like Ginille Brown, NP.
Botox Corrects:
- Forehead creases
- Frown lines between the eyebrows
- Crow’s feet around the eyes
- Perioral lines around the lips
- Bunny lines around the nose bridge

How Botox Works
Botox is a neuromodulator designed to correct dynamic wrinkles. To understand how Botox works, you must first understand what dynamic wrinkles are and how they form. Dynamic wrinkles appear on your face when you contract certain facial muscles to convey expressions, such as frowning and smiling. They’re also known as expression lines. Over time, the overuse of facial muscles to convey expressions can deepen the wrinkles, so they stay on your face even at rest.
Botox is a neuromodulator made of botulinum toxin type A, which can temporarily block communications between nerve endings and targeted muscles. When injected into specific facial muscles responsible for your dynamic wrinkles, Botox can temporarily paralyze them and soften the associated wrinkles and creases. For patients in their early 20s, regular Botox treatments can also prevent or delay the onset of new wrinkles. Botox is one of the most effective treatments for unwanted facial wrinkles.
Preventative Botox
Preventative Botox is the use of Botox to prevent wrinkles from forming rather than just treating existing wrinkles. Dynamic wrinkles become permanent because of the overuse of certain facial muscles to convey expressions. If you start undergoing preventative Botox in your early 20s or 30s, you can prevent your wrinkles from becoming deep-set and permanent. This approach can help you maintain a youthful appearance and prevent wrinkles from becoming permanent and more pronounced.

Your Botox Experience
The Botox treatment is fairly simple. Our medical providers carefully examine your facial skin, discuss your goals and concerns, and review your medical history. They discuss your goals and curate a personalized treatment plan, which involves marking the treatment areas and selecting the appropriate units of Botox for your needs. After cleansing your facial skin, Botox is carefully injected into your facial muscles using ultra-fine needles. The entire treatment concludes within 15 to 30 minutes.
Side Effects & Recovery
Botox is a safe and effective treatment when administered by a trained professional. Common side effects may include mild swelling, redness, or bruising around the injection site. These side effects typically resolve on their own within a few days. There is minimal recovery time and downtime associated with Botox, and most people can return to normal activities immediately after the treatment. However, strenuous workouts should be avoided for a day or two.
Results & Maintenance
Results from Botox typically appear within a few days and can last anywhere from 3 to 6 months. The longevity of the results depends on several factors, such as muscle activity, metabolism, and the amount of product used. To maintain the results, it’s recommended to schedule follow-up appointments every 3 to 6 months, depending on your needs. Regular maintenance treatments can prevent wrinkles from becoming more pronounced and prevent new wrinkles from forming.
