Botox
Neuromodulators are wrinkle-relaxing injections of botulinum toxin – commercially known as Botox Cosmetic, Dysport or Xeomin – that are used to treat wrinkles, frown lines and crow's feet and more! These are all FDA-approved botulinum toxin for cosmetic use and available at Renuva Medspa.
Neurotoxins are injected into the facial muscles to improve the look of wrinkles. It works by temporary reducing the muscles ability to contract and create folds in the skin. Our most common treatment is approximately 64-units based on the FDA approved guidelines for efficient duration of the treatment. Some patients may not be a candidate for anti-wrinkle injections if stagnant lines are already too deep and may be a better candidate for Morpheus8 and Lumecca treatments to improve wrinkles.

Your specialist will inject these muscles with BOTOX® Cosmetic to temporarily reduce muscle activity. You will begin to notice your frown lines between your brows, your crow’s feet lines and your forehead lines temporarily look better.

DO I NEED TO BE OVER 40 TO START USING BOTOX® COSMETIC?
It's not your age that determines when BOTOX® Cosmetic is right for you, it's the severity of your lines. In fact, 64% of plastic surgeons report seeing a rise in cosmetic surgery or injectable treatments for patients in their early 30’s.The truth is, everyone's lines form differently. The timing can be influenced by a combination of factors, from cellular changes that may occur over time, to reduction of collagen, to genetic factors, or damage caused by free radicals from the sun and the environment.Whenever your lines start to bother you, go speak with your doctor. They can help you determine if treatment is right for you.
HOW MUCH TIME DOES BOTOX® COSMETIC TREATMENT TAKE? WILL IT HURT?
Your specialist will discuss your treatment goals and perform a facial analysis to determine the appropriate treatment areas for you. If the HCP deems you to be an appropriate candidate, the injection may take place on that same day. Some patients report that being injected with BOTOX® Cosmetic feels like a pinch. Your specialist may use ice to numb the treatment area. Or, if you are concerned about discomfort, your specialist may apply a topical numbing cream before administering your treatment.
Treatment requires minimal downtime. So you can return to your daily routine immediately after you leave your specialist’s office.
