At DS Skin & Lips MedSpa, Amber DiAngelis and her team in Scottsdale, Arizona, provide many cosmetic injectables for patients seeking ways to combat the signs of aging without surgery. One popular treatment is Botox, which can smooth out wrinkles and folds to turn back the hands of time.
What is Botox?
Botox is an injectable used by our patients to treat dynamic wrinkles, or wrinkles and folds on the face caused by muscle tension. It is a neuromodulator that achieves results that last a few months before reinjection may be needed.
Who is a good candidate?
Botox is a popular treatment for both men and women of all ages. Generally, suitable candidates for Botox are those in good overall health and have realistic expectations for treatment outcomes. However, it’s important to note that Botox is not a permanent solution for aging skin, and treatments will need to be read ministered every few months to maintain results.”
Does it hurt?
There is a lot of misinformation about Botox injections. Some people believe they are painful, while others think they are painless. Depending on a client’s pain threshold, the truth lies somewhere in between. While these treatments typically do not cause pain, some people may experience a slight prickling sensation.”
How much will I need?
Your most suitable injectable treatment will depend on your aesthetic goals and precise target areas. Botox is available in doses ranging from 50 to 100 units per vial, and your provider will calculate the number of units required for your target area.
 During your consultation with one of our board-certified nurse practitioners, please share your goals and concerns. They will gladly customize your treatment based on your desired results and expectations for Botox.
Are there any side effects?
Some potential side effects of Botox include bruising, swelling, and drooping eyelids. There is also a chance of headaches, which are transient; however, these side effects are generally temporary and mild, usually resolving within 2-3 days.
How much do Botox injections cost?
The cost of Botox injections depends on the area being treated and the number of units required. A standard session lasts about 15 minutes. The price per unit of Botox is $13. For a brow lift, typically, 4 to 10 units are needed. Treating crow’s feet requires between 12 to 20 units. For lip lines or a lip flip, you might need 4 to 8 units, whereas a dimpled chin treatment usually requires 6 to 8 units. If you’re looking to treat platysma or vertical neck cords, the requirement could be between 12 and 24 units. Lastly, managing hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, requires significantly more units, ranging from 40 to 100.
