Botox and Restylane

Expert Botox and Restylane treatments can help you achieve a youthful, refreshed appearance. Performed by experienced medical professionals in a safe, clinical setting, these treatments are designed to smooth wrinkles, restore volume, and enhance your natural beauty.

What is Botox?

Botox® is an FDA-approved injectable neurotoxin that temporarily relaxes the facial muscles responsible for fine lines and wrinkles. By smoothing these muscles, Botox helps reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, giving the skin a refreshed, youthful look. Depending on your metabolism and treatment area, results can last up to three months. In addition to cosmetic benefits, Botox has therapeutic applications for certain muscle and skin conditions, making it a versatile treatment option.

Cosmetic Uses

Botox is used to reduce the appearance of:

  • Forehead/worry lines
  • Wrinkles between the eyebrows (known as “11’s” or Glabella lines)
  • Nasolabial folds (“smile lines”) and frown lines
  • Crow’s feet
  • Lines around the mouth (“smoker’s lines”)
  • A “gummy smile”

Cosmetic Botox treatment can also help with contouring of the face:

  • Lip flip can create a more plump lip
  • The non-invasive “eyebrow spa”
  • To slim the jawline by relaxing the masseter muscles

Botox is also used for underarm sweating.

Therapeutic Uses

Botox is FDA-approved for therapeutic use. The variety of available medical uses makes it a popular treatment method for the following:

  • TMJ disorder or pain in the jaw joint when chewing
  • Hyperhidrosis (extreme sweating)
  • Muscle contractions in patients with cerebral palsy or stroke
  • Chronic migraines that are not reduced with oral medicatio

What is Restylane?

Restylane® is a line of hyaluronic acid dermal fillers designed for facial rejuvenation and volume enhancement. Restylane can restore lost volume, improve skin texture, and smooth fine lines and wrinkles. Common treatment areas include the lips, cheeks, and chin, where the fillers stimulate collagen production and deliver natural-looking results. Some Restylane treatments can last up to one year, offering long-term improvements in facial contour and overall skin appearance.

Do not use if you have severe allergies with a history of severe reactions (anaphylaxis), are allergic to lidocaine or gram-positive bacterial proteins used to make hyaluronic acid, prone to bleeding, or have a bleeding disorder. The safety of use while pregnant or breastfeeding has not been studied. Tell your doctor if you have a history of scarring or pigmentation disorders as these side effects can occur with hyaluronic acid fillers. Tell your doctor if you are planning other cosmetic treatments (i.e., lasers and chemical peels) as there is a possible risk of inflammation at the injection site.

Tell your doctor if you’re taking medications that lower your body’s immune response or affect bleeding, such as aspirin or warfarin, as these medications may increase the risk of bruising or bleeding at the gel injection site. Using these products on gel injection sites with skin sores, pimples, rashes, hives, cysts, or infections should be postponed until healing is complete.

The most common side effects are swelling, redness, pain, bruising, headache, tenderness, lump formation, itching at the injection site, and impaired hand function. Serious but rare side effects include delayed onset infections, recurrence of herpetic eruptions, and superficial necrosis at the injection site. The risk of unintentional injection into a blood vessel is small but can occur and could result in serious complications, which may be permanent including, vision abnormalities, blindness, stroke, temporary scabs, or permanent scarring of the skin. As with all skin injection procedures, there is a risk of infection. To report a side effect with any Restylane® product, please call Galderma Laboratories, L.P at 1-855-425-8722.
