A More Confident You  

BOTOX Cosmetic is a minimally invasive procedure that can smooth out fine lines and wrinkles and increase patient confidence. Often, patients who elect to have this procedure complain they look tired, angry, or upset when they are not. These cosmetic injections around the eyes and eyebrows can help patients appear less tired and more alert. It can also be used to safely taper the jawline for cosmetic purposes by decreasing the size of one of the muscles that overlie the angle of the jaw. Additionally, it is used to address teeth grinding (bruxism), muscle spasms, migraines, and excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis).

Before and After of Botox

Botox provides rapid, visible results by relaxing targeted facial muscles, reducing wrinkles, and creating a smoother, more youthful appearance. With minimal downtime and results that can last for months, it’s a convenient, effective solution for many. Its consistent results and proven safety make it the most sought-after cosmetic treatment worldwide.

Your Initial BOTOX Consultation in Denver

People who live in the Denver area and are interested in BOTOX Cosmetic are encouraged to schedule a private consultation with Dr. Thompson. Each consultation begins with a review of the patient’s medical history and a physical examination of the fine lines and wrinkles that bother them. Dr. Thompson will listen to the patient’s expectations and inform them if this treatment can help them meet their aesthetic goals.

If not, other treatment options that align with the patient’s needs will be discussed. During the consultation, Dr. Thompson will also answer any questions patients may have and share before and after photographs of actual patients who have undergone BOTOX Cosmetic for comparison purposes. Additionally, he may suggest other facial treatments to help the patient reach their goals. This might involve combining BOTOX Cosmetic with treatments for other signs of aging, such as brown spots, hyperpigmentation, and spider veins. The consultation is the ideal time for potential patients to learn about our offerings and figure out an anti-aging plan for them.

The Day of Your BOTOX Procedure

Once again, it’s important to note: this procedure is minimally invasive and relatively painless, and most patients experience only mild discomfort or a slight pinch at the injection site. It typically involves injecting small amounts of botulinum toxin into specific muscles to paralyze them temporarily. This is done to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines in the treated area. The procedure is usually quick and relatively painless, with most patients experiencing only mild discomfort or a slight pinch at the injection site. The effects of the treatment typically last for several months, after which time the procedure can be repeated if desired. 

What is Recovery Like After BOTOX?

Since BOTOX in Denver is a minimally invasive procedure, recovering from treatment is easy. Most patients return to work and their daily activities as soon as they’ve received BOTOX. They can begin exercising lightly 4 hours after treatment. The doctor urges patients to keep their head elevated for at least 3 hours if their forehead lines were treated.

Is BOTOX suitable for lines around the mouth?

BOTOX® can be used around the mouth for certain complaints or conditions. Judicious care has to be employed in this area to prevent an abnormal or altered smile. We recommend a formal consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Thompson to explore all possible treatment options for these specific complaints.

Will I develop BOTOX immunity after multiple sessions?

While BOTOX® immunity is not common, it does occur. But the chances are very low. Each patient should be given the lowest possible effective dose to minimize the chance of resistance. If resistance does occur, there are other alternatives to BOTOX® that may work without issue.

Is BOTOX safe?

We do not perform any treatments in our office that are dangerous. Believe it or not, Botox® Cosmetic is one of the safest and most tested drugs on the market. It has been used to treat a variety of issues for more than 30 years.

What is the ideal age to undergo BOTOX?

Patients of all ages have come to us for BOTOX® treatment. We believe the ideal age to begin BOTOX® is dependent on the individual patient’s goals. Specifically, preventative treatments should start before lines or wrinkles appear in the patient’s 20s or 30s. However, it’s never too late to start BOTOX®. If you notice wrinkles during facial expression or fine lines that aren’t going away at rest, you are likely still an ideal candidate for treatment.

How long does BOTOX Cosmetic last?

Results from treatment with Botox® Cosmetic can last for up to 3-4 months. For optimal results, we recommend you regularly schedule your BOTOX® sessions to keep the anti-aging effect active. In some muscle groups, results can last for up to 6 months.

Can BOTOX fix the lines between my eyebrows and nose?

BOTOX® between the eyebrows is one of the most effective uses of the treatment. These frown lines respond well to the treatment, and the results can resolve a resting, angry, or tired expression that can develop over time.

Do the injections hurt?

The doctor uses small needles and area-numbing techniques to maximize patient comfort, though most of our patients handle the BOTOX® injections well.

How often is treatment recommended?

If you’re pleased with the results of BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment, you’ll probably want to get on a treatment schedule for touch-ups every three months for optimal results.
