Botox®. Once you get it, you really get it.
Trust us when we say it’s worth it. Women and men choose BOTOX® Cosmetic injections to maintain their youth by minimizing certain wrinkles such as crow’s feet, forehead lines, and angry-looking creases between the eyebrows. At the RETREAT, we use an ultra-fine needle to inject Botox® into certain muscles responsible for making facial expressions. By relaxing these specific muscles, the wrinkle and lines they cause disappear. And not to worry, you’ll still be able to smile, laugh, and be expressive but your skin will be smoother and your wrinkles drastically reduced. Honestly, we love it.
At the RETREAT Aesthetics and Vitality Center located in Huntington, West Virginia, we are dedicated to offering the latest advances in aesthetic medicine to help our patients look their very best. We often perform injectable wrinkle treatments on their own, but they can also beautifully complement the results of other non-surgical treatments. Popular combinations include dermal fillers, laser treatments and microneedling.
At the RETREAT we offer a variety of neurotoxins. What is the difference between BOTOX®, Dysport and Xeomin?
-
BOTOX® Cosmetic is an acetylcholine release inhibitor and a neuromuscular blocking agent indicated in adult patients for the temporary improvement in the appearance of lines and wrinkles. Full results can be seen in three to five days after treatment.
-
Made with the same purified protein as BOTOX®, Dysport® spreads further from the injection site (making it a good choice when treating larger areas) and shows results sooner.
-
Unlike BOTOX® and Dysport®, XEOMIN® does not contain any additives. Results from XEOMIN® typically appear more gradually than from BOTOX® or Dysport®.
Procedure
Administering wrinkle relaxers takes as little as 10 minutes, with a series of small injections placed in strategic locations to relax underlying facial muscles and improve the look of surface skin. Our Certified Nurse Injectors are skilled in the proper placement of the selected product to achieve satisfying, natural-looking results. Any discomfort during the procedure is minimal and brief, with many patients comparing the sensation to a bug bite.
Fear of needles?
For those who have a fear of needles or who are feeling anxious about their procedure, we offer self-administered nitrous oxide with the Pro-Nox™ system for patients undergoing certain procedures. Ask about it during your consultation.
Results
While experiences vary, most patients begin to see a dramatic improvement in the smoothness of their skin in treated areas within a few days. This improved look lasts approximately 4 to 6 months and can be maintained with repeated treatments.
