BOTOX® in Austin, TX

An average treatment ranges from $150 to $350 for each injectable area. A number of factors go into determining the cost of an individual’s BOTOX® treatment. These factors can be discussed further during your initial consultation at Buckingham Center in Austin, TX.

A treatment session lasts on average 15-30 minutes. BOTOX® is a favorite among busy patients because they can often fit treatments into their lunch break with no downtime.

While these two options are very different, the best choice depends on the goals you want to achieve. BOTOX® is ideal as a quick fix for your wrinkles. However, if you are looking to give your skin a long-lasting, refreshed look, then laser treatments might be a better option. Every case is different, and a consultation with our specialists will help clear up any confusion regarding these two procedures. Often, using multiple modalities to include neuromodulator treatments along with laser treatments and proper medical grade skincare will give you the best result.

Crow’s feet are the wrinkles that appear in the skin at the corners of the eyes, resembling the shape of a bird’s foot. They are particularly noticeable when a person is smiling, squinting or laughing. When delivered safely by a specialist, cosmetic injections like Dysport®, DAXXIFY®, or BOTOX® can serve as an ideal treatment for crow’s feet.

BOTOX® is not recommended for pregnant or nursing mothers. We require that you wait until you are finished breastfeeding to schedule an appointment with us.

Patients often schedule anti-aging treatments to look their best when attending a wedding, graduation, party, or another special event. Since the maximum effect of BOTOX® typically appears around 14 days after treatment and lasts for a few months, the specialists at Buckingham Center recommend that individuals have their BOTOX treatment approximately 4-6 weeks before their event.

When administered properly by a trained BOTOX® provider, patients should have no issues with making normal facial expressions following their treatment.

We use the standard 2.5 ccs, yielding four units per 0.1 ccs of saline. The starting dose for a glabella is 20 units of BOTOX®. For the periocular lines (i.e., crow’s feet), it is twelve units per side. Forehead treatment is more variable and depends on the size of the patient’s forehead.

BOTOX®, Dysport®, and other botulinum toxin treatments are very safe and pose minimal risks for asymmetry or incomplete muscle relaxation. Even rarer side effects include allergic reactions, dry mouth, droopy eyelids, double vision, drowsiness, headaches, neck pain, and vision issues. On the off chance that any of these occur, seek medical attention right away. To minimize your likelihood of experiencing a complication, have an experienced BOTOX injector perform your treatment.

It is true that BOTOX® is mostly used for the upper part of the face. It can be used around the mouth but needs to be used in much smaller quantities to avoid lack of expression or, worse, lack of function.

BOTOX® is most commonly used in the areas around the eyes and the forehead, but it is also used in smaller quantities in the muscles around the mouth and the neck.

The duration of BOTOX® and Dysport® are similar. They will both last between 3 and 4 months. Schedule Dysport® at the regular intervals that you might set up your next BOTOX injection.
