What is Botox?

Botox is an FDA-approved neuromodulator for treating dynamic wrinkles such as forehead lines, frown lines (11s), and crow’s feet. Dynamic wrinkles are lines caused by muscle movement, such as raising your forehead or smiling.

How does Botox work?

Botox temporarily inhibits muscle movement, which prevents the formation of wrinkles.

Botox Results

Botox can offer you impressive results in just one week. You will notice your forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet significantly fade, and some patients will even see these lines disappear. Results depend on the extent of your wrinkles and the strength of your muscles. Sometimes, multiple treatments are needed to achieve a significant improvement. Treatment results typically last 3.5 months; some patients still notice benefits at 6 months.

Customizing Botox treatments for our Patients

At Jacksonville Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery, our expert cosmetic dermatologists use Botox to give you a naturally refreshed appearance.

We will listen to you during your consultation, perform a thorough evaluation, and provide an individualized treatment plan to address your needs and concerns.

What else do we use Botox for?

• Facial Contouring – Do you use makeup for contouring? At FL Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery, we use Botox. These treatments can enhance the appearance of your cheekbones by narrowing the soft tissue below to create a more contoured look. We inject your masseter muscle to help sculpt your lower face and accentuate your cheeks.
• Brow Lift – Want an eyebrow lift without surgery? We use Botox to give you a non-surgical eyebrow lift for a more refreshed look. We relax the muscles, pulling your eyebrows down, which gives them a natural lift.
• Nefertiti Lift – The Nefertiti Lift was named after Queen Nefertiti, an Egyptian Pharaoh revered for her beauty and power. We use Botox to relax the muscles pulling down on your jawline and the muscles that cause neckbands. This produces a lifting and tightening of the jawline and a toned and smooth neck without surgery.
• TMJ, Teeth Grinding, or Jaw Pain – If you have TMJ (temporomandibular joint disorder), grind your teeth at night, or wake up with pain in your jaw, you might notice a significant improvement with Botox. Your masseter muscles, which help you chew, may be overactivated and enlarged. We use Botox to help these muscles relax. This helps improve your TMJ, teeth grinding, or jaw pain. Patients are amazed by the results this treatment provides.
• Gummy Smile – Do your gums show when you smile? We can relax the overactive muscles pulling up on your upper lip with Botox. When these muscles are relaxed, only your teeth will show when you smile. We are not dentists, but we all love a beautiful smile!
• Golf Ball Chin – When you contract your chin, does it have the dimpled appearance of a golf ball? We can help you with golf ball chin by relaxing your chin (mentalis) muscles using Botox. This will provide you with a beautiful, smooth chin.

Botox vs Dysport?

Botox and Dysport are both FDA-approved neuromodulators to treat fine lines and wrinkles of the forehead, glabella (frown lines), and eyes (crow’s feet). Each product works similarly to inhibit muscle movement, improving wrinkles’ appearance. Overall, these two products are very similar, and neither has been shown to produce superior results. At FL Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery, we offer both neuromodulators.
