While we all hope to stay young forever, lines and wrinkles are inevitable. We can’t stop the aging process, but we can slow it. Botox® is one of the simplest ways to get rid of wrinkles. You can say goodbye to unwanted lines in just a few minutes and enjoy a smoother, more refreshed appearance.
At Modern Gynecology & Reproductive Health in Memphis, Tennessee, Susan Lacy, MD, FACOG, and our team offer Botox injections to help you achieve flawless skin. Want to know how Botox can enhance your appearance?
Here’s everything you need to know about Botox:
Botox is a neuromodulator that interacts with the nerves controlling muscle movement. When injected into a specific muscle, Botox temporarily paralyzes it. This causes the skin on top to relax and smooth out.
Results typically appear within a few days and continue to improve over the next week, leaving you with a youthful, refreshed look. With minimal downtime, Botox is an easy, effective way to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, helping you feel confident in your skin.
Botox treats dynamic wrinkles, which appear when you smile, frown, or squint. Common areas include:
Injecting Botox into the masseter muscles on each side of your jaw can slim your jawline and relieve jaw pain from temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ) or bruxism (teeth grinding).
What makes Botox so popular is that it easily fits into your schedule and doesn’t require downtime — plus, the entire visit only takes a few minutes.
First, Dr. Lacy or a member of our team meets with you to understand your cosmetic goals and assess your facial anatomy.
We discuss the areas you want to treat and explain how Botox works, ensuring you feel informed and comfortable. If Botox is right for you, we create a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
During the treatment, Dr. Lacy injects small amounts of Botox into the targeted muscles. It’s a quick and relatively procedure, with most patients reporting only a slight pinch.
You return to your regular activities immediately after your appointment, making Botox a convenient option for a midday refresh.
Full results appear after about 1-2 weeks and gradually break down over 3-4 months. After that, you can return to our office for maintenance treatments.
You deserve to feel confident in your skin. Contact Modern Gynecology & Reproductive Health today, or use the online booking tool to schedule your Botox consultation.
