Overview
Looking for a wrinkle treatment? Facial plastic surgeon Dr. Vu Ho offer BOTOX. Well-known and extremely popular, the injectable wrinkle relaxer actually targets the source of lines and wrinkles around the eyes and on the forehead. By using a form of purified botulinum toxin Type A, the contractions of the facial muscles that cause crow’s feet and frown lines can be temporarily halted for a younger-looking, more rejuvenated appearance. Most patients can expect results to last around 3 – 4 months, and Dr. Ho can provide subsequent injections to extend the effects.

What are the Benefits of BOTOX?
Common signs of aging like fine lines and creases can detract from our other features, in addition to making us seem older than our natural age. BOTOX at Beyond Beautiful is an excellent way to achieve a more youthful appearance. Although the results are not permanent, you should enjoy the benefits for many months before considering a follow-up appointment. Additional benefits include:
- Brief procedures: BOTOX appointments only take a few minutes in our office.
- Minor pain: BOTOX treatments require a very fine needle, so procedures should not feel too painful.
- No downtime or recovery: Thanks to this nonsurgical procedure, you are welcome to resume your everyday activities afterward.
Ideal Candidates
During the initial consultation, the doctor will ask about your concerns and your goals to help you decide if BOTOX is the best treatment for you. Ideal candidates will have:
- Deep lines and wrinkles caused by repetitive facial expressions
- Facial asymmetry, particularly around the eyebrows
- Wrinkles that make you look sad, tired, or mad
- Are not ready or do not want a facelift
What to Expect
A BOTOX treatment is usually performed on the same day as your consultation in about 15 – 30 minutes as an outpatient procedure. The plastic surgeon will clean the treatment sites before the BOTOX is injected into the facial muscles with a thin needle. Most patients feel mild to no discomfort during the procedure, but local anesthesia or numbing cream can be used if the patient prefers. Patients will be able to leave immediately after their BOTOX treatment, but they should avoid lying down, touching the injection sites, and exercise for at least 24 hours. There may be temporary bruising, swelling, or redness in the first 1 – 2 days.
Anticipated Results
Patients will see the full results of BOTOX in 3 – 4 days as the dynamic wrinkles begin to soften and smooth. BOTOX treatments usually last 3 – 6 months so patients are encouraged to schedule their next appointment after their treatment to prevent the results from fading. The surgeon may also suggest a follow-up appointment several weeks after the initial treatment to check the patient’s progress and add more BOTOX if needed.
