Botox® – wrinkle relaxants & therapeutic injections

is an injection procedure for patients who want to treat fine lines and functional concerns.

TREATMENT TECHNOLOGY

Botox® is a purified neuromodulator derived from botulinum toxin type A. It works by temporarily relaxing targeted muscles, reducing the appearance of dynamic wrinkles and preventing them from deepening over time. While most well-known for treating expression lines in the upper face, Botox® is also used therapeutically to address functional concerns such as trapezius hypertrophy (TrapTox), bruxism (teeth grinding), excessive sweating and chronic migraines.

Dr. Ruz tailors all Botox treatments to the patient’s individual concerns and anatomy to ensure safe, effective, and natural-looking results.

BENEFITS & RESULTS

  • Smooths fine lines and dynamic wrinkles for a refreshed appearance
  • Prevents deepening of expression lines
  • Improves posture and neck lines by softening the trapezius muscles
  • Slims the lower face when used in the masseter muscles
  • Reduces jaw tension and damage from teeth grinding
  • Provides relief from chronic migraines and related muscle tension

PROCEDURE DETAILS

Botox® treatments typically take 10–30 minutes, depending on the number of areas treated.

Most patients require maintenance treatments every 3 to 4 months. Results typically appear within 3–7 days, with full effects visible at 2 weeks.

The procedure is quick and well-tolerated. Patients may feel a mild pinch or pressure at the injection sites. No numbing is required.

There is no downtime. Patients can resume most normal activities immediately after treatment. It is recommended to avoid lying down, engaging in vigorous exercise, or massaging the treated area for 4–6 hours after injection.

  • Minor swelling or bruising at injection sites
  • Temporary headache or discomfort
  • Asymmetry or mild muscle weakness (rare and temporary)
  • Ptosis (drooping eyelid) may occur in rare cases when treating the forehead or frown lines
  • In therapeutic applications, muscle fatigue or soreness may occur as the area adjusts
