At Living Water Vein Institute & Medical Spa in Abingdon, VA, and Johnson City, TN, we use Botox® to help you look and feel like your best self. Botox is a gentle, non-surgical treatment that relaxes the tiny muscles that cause wrinkles, softening lines for a smoother, more youthful look. If you’re hoping to look well-rested and naturally refreshed, Botox can help you feel confident every time you look in the mirror.
How Botox Works
Botox targets the facial muscles that create expression lines. When injected in small amounts, it temporarily blocks the nerve signals that cause these specific muscles to tighten. This relaxes the muscles and smoothes the skin above them. Because the muscles don't contract as easily as usual, Botox also helps prevent the formation of new expression lines.
Botox doesn't prevent you from moving your face, though. When expertly injected in the proper places and in the right quantities, Botox keeps your expressions natural and helps you look more relaxed, with smoother skin.
Treatment Areas for Botox
Botox can be used in several areas to refresh your face and neck. Common treatment areas include:
- Forehead furrows: Smooths the horizontal lines that appear when you lift your brows.
- Frown lines: Softens the “11 lines” between your eyebrows to avoid that "always-angry" look.
- Crow’s feet: Blurs the fine lines around your eyes that appear when you smile or squint.
- Neck bands: Helps smooth vertical neck lines for a more youthful profile.
At Living Water Vein Institute & Medical Spa, our approach is subtle and natural. You’ll still look like yourself, just with smoother skin.
The Botox Treatment Process
Your visit begins with a personal consultation, where we discuss your goals and design a treatment plan tailored to your needs. During your Botox session, your injection specialist makes a few small injections are made in precise areas using a fine needle. Most people describe it as a quick pinch or mild sting, followed by a return to their usual routine right after.
How Long Does Botox Last?
Results can develop as soon as the next day, with full improvement showing in a week or two. Every person is unique, but most patients enjoy their results for up to four months before considering a touch-up.
The results fade gradually and naturally. If you schedule touch-ups when you first notice fine lines returning, you can maintain that effortlessly youthful look long term.
