BOTOX® Cosmetic

For years, BOTOX has been a popular solution for reducing some of the lines and wrinkles that bother us most. But this FDA-approved injectable is known for a lot more than just aesthetics. At Preventative Medical Clinic, BOTOX helps our Omaha patients feel better, too. Here, learn about the beautiful possibilities of BOTOX.

What Is BOTOX?

BOTOX is an injectable product that is popularly known as an option for smoothing wrinkles. However, the active ingredient in BOTOX—an ingredient called botulinum toxin type A—makes it notably versatile. BOTOX is a neuromodulator, which means it intercepts the nerve signals that your brain sends to certain muscles. BOTOX works only where it’s administered, so undergoing BOTOX to treat wrinkles will not affect your body’s other functions.

Throughout the years, BOTOX has been found to be so much more than a cosmetic product. Its predictable, effective mechanism of action makes it a good choice for treating a multitude of conditions that are caused by overactive muscles. At Preventative Medical Clinic, our trained injectors use BOTOX to treat an array of conditions.

What Can BOTOX Do?

BOTOX has been shown to be an effective option for treating or reducing the appearance of the following:

• Crow’s feet
• Vertical lines between the brows
• Lip lines, also known as “smoker’s lines”
• Drooping brows
• Horizontal forehead lines
• A “gummy” smile
• Crinkles on either side of the nose
• Chin dimples
• Vertical neck bands
• Migraine headaches
• Temporomandibular joint disorder, or TMJ
• Excessive sweating

Regardless of the indication, BOTOX is always administered in a series of injections, making it a very popular option for people who are pressed for time or simply don’t want to undergo more complex or invasive therapies.

Your BOTOX Appointment

We offer BOTOX in both our Millard and Omaha locations. During your appointment, a qualified member of our medical team discusses your goals with you. After a brief discussion, he or she makes injections where it’s necessary in order to treat the specific concerns that bother you. For example, excessive sweating can be treated with injections to the underarms. TMJ symptoms can be treated with injections to the jaw, and wrinkles are corrected with careful injections to the face.

In some cases, your BOTOX treatment may be augmented by the use of fillers or even KYBELLA®, an injectable treatment that can reduce the appearance of a double chin.

Long-Term Results

BOTOX does not deliver immediate results. Instead, it can take several days to weeks to completely see or feel a difference. The longevity of your BOTOX results is highly dependent on where in your body the injections were made. Areas that move a lot, such as the mouth, typically have shorter-lived results than areas that don’t, such as the underarms. You can expect your results to last for about 4 months or so.

We can’t wait to help you discover the possibilities of BOTOX. Please request your visit online or call our office at (402) 408-0017 to make your appointment.
