What is Botox?

Botox is a prescription injectable created from a purified form of botulinum toxin A. The FDA-approved treatment relaxes the muscles in your upper face responsible for frown lines across the brow and crow’s feet around the eyes.

As the targeted muscles relax, your smooth skin gives you a younger, more alert appearance.

Next Direct Primary Care offers Botox and other nonsurgical treatments, including dermal fillers and microneedling, at the office. The providers use these aesthetic therapies on adults who are otherwise healthy but unhappy with their appearance because of age-related skin flaws.

When should I consider Botox therapy?

You may be a candidate for the Botox services available at Next Direct Primary Care if you have moderate to severe wrinkles or lines across your forehead or creases around your eyes. These issues develop gradually from squinting at the sun and other facial expressions you make.

The Next Direct Primary Care aesthetic specialists can determine if you’re a candidate for Botox after a comprehensive skin evaluation and medical history review. They also discuss your expectations to ensure Botox can provide results.

The providers create a treatment plan to address the issues you want to treat. In addition to Botox therapy, they may recommend popular dermal fillers to restore volume in your cheeks, plump your lips, and enhance the natural contours of your face.

What happens during Botox treatments?

During Botox injections at Next Direct Primary Care, the medical team helps you get comfortable on an exam table or chair. They can apply a topical numbing cream to minimize discomfort during your injections.

The providers inject precise amounts of Botox into areas of your upper face. The number of injections you need depends on the severity of your wrinkles.

Many people can see an immediate difference in their appearance, but it can take several days or weeks before your muscles fully relax. Results of Botox therapy can last 3-4 months before you need additional injections to maintain your results in the long term.
