You've heard of Botox for years, your friends have tried it and love it...BUT you've seen the scary pictures of celebrities with "plastic faces" and you definitely do NOT want to look like THAT!
Never fear! Dry Creek Laser & Aesthetics is here
with answers to your questions.
with answers to your questions.
Botox is a safe and effective product that we are pleased to offer our clients!
What is Botox?
Botox is botulinum toxin (sounds scary, right? Keep reading!) that has been FDA approved for the temporary treatment of fine lines and wrinkles. Botulinum Toxin is a protein produced by a bacteria and is a powerful neurotoxin.
How does Botox get rid of my wrinkles?
Botox is injected directly into a muscle. It blocks the nerve impulses that normally signal that muscle to contract. This reduces the muscle activity that causes wrinkles to form. When that muscle can no longer contract, it can no longer form wrinkles!
Is Botox Safe?
Words like “neurotoxin,” “injected,” and “botulinum toxin,” sound scary and many wonder if Botox is safe. As with any medicine, there are possible side effects and contraindications; but it is safe for most people and it is FDA approved for treating wrinkles.
At Dry Creek Laser & Aesthetics your Botox procedure will be performed in a clean medical office, by a physician or nurse practitioner who has been specially certified in Botox injections. We don't dilute Botox with any “filler” ingredients and your provider will consult with you about possible side effects and contraindications before they perform the procedure.

Are there side-effects after Botox injections?
Some uncommon, but possible side effects of Botox are:
dry mouth
discomfort or pain at the injection site
tiredness
headache
neck pain
Eye problems: double vision, blurred vision, decreased eyesight, drooping eyelids, swelling eyelids, dry eyes.
Allergic reactions: symptoms may include: itching, rash, red itchy welts, wheezing, asthma, or dizziness.
When will I see results after my Botox appointment?
Many of our clients see results within 5 - 7 days. Lines continue to improve for up to 30 days and results typically last for 3 or 4 months. If you continue to schedule Botox injections, your results will last longer and longer each time! If you do not continue treatment, the fine lines and wrinkles will slowly return.Do Botox injections hurt?
Discomfort is usually minimal. Most injection appointments only take 10 to 15 minutes and most patients don't require any downtime after their appointment. Holding a cool ice pack over the injection sites may help with some immediate tenderness.
Will I still be able to make facial expressions after Botox injections?
Botox injections will not radically change your appearance. You can still frown or look surprised, but without the wrinkles and creases!
How much does Botox cost?
At Dry Creek Laser & Aesthetics, Botox is $10 per unit.
Typically, the forehead requires 20 – 28 units.
Crows feet (at the corner of your eyes) require 4 – 8 units per eye.
Frown lines between eyebrows usually require 8 – 12 units.
