Botox and Fillers

Botox® has remained one of the most popular options for facial rejuvenation because it can effectively reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and folds on the face without surgery.

At The Bressler Center, we have helped numerous men and women in Houston, Sugar Land, and The Woodlands restore their faces’ smooth and youthful appearance with Botox.

What Is Botox & How Does It Work?

Botox is a well-known neurotoxin treatment derived from botulinum toxin type A. When injected, it temporarily relaxes targeted facial muscles. It softens existing wrinkles and can prevent new ones from forming in areas such as the forehead, around the eyes, and between the brows.

A few key points to remember when considering these treatments

Botox is a medication that contains botulinum toxin type. Botox is injected directly into the muscle to treat dynamic wrinkles or those caused by facial movements.
Botox is measured in units, not in milliliters or syringes. The concentration of the Botox depends on how much saline was placed into the Botox vial. Always ask how many units you received during your injection.
Ask when your Botox was reconstituted (see Injectables and Fillers for further information).
Botox begins to work at 2-3 days and has its maximal effect at about two weeks.
There is no downtime or recovery period following Botox injections. There may be some redness and mild swelling around the injection sites.
Fillers are implants or devices injected into the skin (dermis) to treat passive wrinkles or wrinkles/folds seen at rest. They are also used for volume correction when injected deeper.
Do not massage after filler injection unless instructed otherwise.
Taking a series of Zytaze® nutritional capsules can enhance and prolong the effects of your Botox injections.

Who Is an Ideal Candidate for Botox Injections?

Botox may be an effective option if you’re noticing early signs of aging or want to refresh your appearance with little downtime.

The best candidates for Botox are adults who want to reduce frown lines, forehead creases, or crow’s feet without surgery. It’s suitable if you’re in generally good health, not pregnant or breastfeeding, and don’t have allergies to the product.

A personal Botox consultation with Dr. Bressler will guide you on whether Botox or another treatment, such as dermal fillers, is the best way to achieve your desired refreshed look.

The Botox Procedure — What to Expect

Your Botox consultation

During your consultation, Dr. Bressler will review your concerns, medical history, and desired outcomes. He will also explain how cosmetic injectables fit into your treatment plan.

During the Botox treatment

A session usually takes only a few minutes. Using a fine needle, Dr. Bressler places precise Botox injections into targeted muscles. Most patients describe the process as a brief pinch.

After your Botox session

There’s no need for sedation or downtime. You can return to most normal activities right after treatment, though you may be advised to avoid strenuous exercise for the rest of the day.

Recovery Timeline & When to Expect Results

One of the reasons many people choose Botox is the minimal downtime it requires. Most patients return to their usual activities right after treatment, with only a few simple aftercare guidelines to follow. You may begin noticing smoother skin within a few days, while the full effect typically develops over one to two weeks. The results usually last about three to four months, after which follow-up Botox injections can help you maintain your refreshed look.

Botox Cost

The cost of your Botox treatment will depend on the number of areas treated and the amount of product needed to attain your desired results. To find out more about the price of Botox, contact our office to schedule a consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Botox Injections

How long does a Botox treatment last?

Results generally last three to four months before another session is recommended. The timing can vary based on individual muscle activity and your skincare routine.

Can Botox be combined with other treatments?

Yes. Botox is often paired with Sculptra cosmetic injections or Juvederm dermal filler for anti-aging for a more balanced outcome.

Will the results look natural?

When performed by an experienced facial plastic surgeon, Botox should leave you looking refreshed, not “frozen.” The goal is subtle improvement, not an exaggerated change.

Is Botox only for wrinkles?

While most patients seek Botox for cosmetic reasons, botulinum toxin can also help with other therapeutic conditions, such as muscle spasms and migraines. Research continues to explore additional uses of this treatment.

What can I do to maintain results after Botox?

Following a good skincare regimen is helpful. We often recommend high-quality skin care products to extend the effects of your treatment.
