Botox Treatment in San Antonio
Botox®, a purified protein that is injected into the skin to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles, can restore your youthful appearance quickly, safely and easily.
Botox is the most popular and fastest growing non-surgical cosmetic treatment in the United States today. These injections improve and soften the appearance of frown lines, laugh lines and crow’s feet with no downtime.
Unlike some physicians who charge up to $375 per area, Radiance charges you only for the amount of Botox® you use. Similarly, beware of ads touting $99 Botox® treatments.
At Radiance, you will always receive Botox Cosmetic® Brand from Allergan (ask to see the vial's label).
You will be given the proper dose of Botox® to
adequately treat your dynamic wrinkles, and the Botox® will always
be reconstituted to the exact specifications recommended by the
manufacturer so that you can be sure of optimal long-lasting results.
Botox® reduces the contraction of the muscles around the injection site; and works by blocking the transmission of nerve impulses to the injected muscles. A very small quantity, injected in the key muscles, can erase dynamic wrinkles (related to expressions) on the upper part of the face. You will still be able to frown, smile and look surprised but without the creases and wrinkles
A Botox® treatment is a simple, 15-minute, non-surgical process. A few tiny injections with a very small needle allow the protein to penetrate the muscle. Within days there can be noticeable results from the procedure. Results from treatment can last for up to 4 months but may vary. The effects will diminish as the Botox loses its potency and reapplication is required to maintain the desired effect. If you discontinue treatment, the lines treated gradually will look like they did before treatment.
Discomfort during treatments is usually minimal and brief. Prior to injecting, you may choose to numb the area with a cold pack or anesthetic cream. Other than a small chance of bruising, swelling, and mild bleeding, there is no downtime. Many people return directly to work or normal activity following Botox Cosmetic® treatment.
