Botox, Daxxify, Xeomin, and all neurotoxins
Wrinkles, fine lines, and crow’s feet are among the most common signs of aging and strip away your youthful appearance as they become more severe. While these problems can leave you looking like an older reflection of yourself, there are many cosmetic options available to help fight them back and rejuvenate your youthful skin. Posh Aesthetics in Denison, TX proudly offers Botox injections for those dealing with prominent lines and folds that contribute to their older appearance.
Appearance with Botox
Botox is one of the most popular cosmetic injectables available. This cosmetic procedure is designed to rejuvenate your skin by getting rid of prominent wrinkles and deep fine lines. The Botox cosmetic is composed of a neurotoxin that’s capable of blocking the signals that cause muscle contractions. By reducing the movement of the underlying muscles responsible for the formation of wrinkles, Botox helps fade their appearance over time.
Botox is a safe and highly effective injectable that’s been used to help people turn back the hands of time for years. It takes as little as 15 minutes to complete, and patients can rest easy knowing they can return to their normal daily activities in no time.

Good Candidates for Botox
Before undergoing a Botox treatment, it’s important that you schedule a consultation with a skilled Botox clinician you can trust. During the consultation, we’ll perform an assessment of your skin and discuss your medical history and any medical conditions to determine if Botox is right for you. Make sure to come to your consultation with a list of all the medicines you take, including herbal supplements, prescription medicine and over-the-counter medicines.
Good candidates should have mild to moderate wrinkles and fine lines, be in good general health and have realistic expectations. If you have severe facial wrinkles or severe frown lines, noninvasive dermal fillers may be a better treatment option. You shouldn’t get Botox injections if:
-
You’re under 18 years old
-
You’re pregnant or breastfeeding
-
You have a neurological condition
-
You’re allergic to Botox or its ingredients
The Botox Treatment
Botox is a minimally invasive procedure that requires precise injections to achieve the best results. Your facial contractions can result in wrinkles between the eyebrows, on the forehead and around the eyes. During the procedure, these areas are targeted for treatment and the Botox is administered to the planned injection site. It relaxes the facial muscles in the area to reduce the current visible wrinkles and help prevent the formation of new wrinkles. Here’s what you can expect from treatment:
First, your provider will mark the areas that are going to be treated in order to guide the injections. Most people don’t experience more than mild discomfort during treatment, but one or more methods can be used to numb the area, like topical anesthesia, ice and vibration anesthesia, which uses massage to minimize discomfort. The actual injection process takes only a few minutes. You may feel a mild pinching or poking sensation during treatment. The number of injections you get will vary, but typical doses range from 25-75 units in the face.
You may experience redness or bruising of the injection site following treatment. You should avoid strenuous exercise, drinking alcohol, taking blood thinners and rubbing or lying on your face for 24 hours after getting Botox injections.
