Botox in Westlake & Austin

BOTOX results typically last 3-4 months, at which point you can repeat your treatment to maintain a more youthful, wrinkle-free appearance.

BOTOX, a neuromodulator, works to reduce the dynamic lines caused by contracting facial muscles during everyday expressions such as repetitive smiling, frowning, squinting, or laughing. Dermal fillers, on the other hand, are used to treat static lines caused by aging, sun damage, lifestyle choices, and environmental toxins. The two treatments are often combined to achieve comprehensive improvement in the face and neck.

At Modern Women’s Health, we believe the best time to start Botox depends on your unique skin needs and aesthetic goals. Many patients begin preventative Botox in their late 20s to early 30s to slow the development of fine lines. Others opt for treatment later when wrinkles become more noticeable. Our expert team can help determine the best approach for you during a personalized consultation.

While Botox is a safe and effective treatment, it may not be suitable for everyone. You should avoid Botox if you: - Are pregnant or breastfeeding - Have certain neuromuscular disorders (such as Myasthenia Gravis) - Have an active skin infection at the injection site - Have a history of allergic reactions to Botox or its ingredients At Modern Women’s Health, our providers will carefully review your medical history to ensure Botox is a safe and effective option for you.

If you decide to stop Botox treatments, your muscles will gradually regain movement, and fine lines or wrinkles may return over time. However, Botox does not worsen wrinkles—your skin will simply age naturally as it would have without treatment. Many patients find that regular Botox sessions help maintain a smoother, more youthful appearance over time.
