The Benefits of Botox® Treatments
Smooth Away Dynamic Wrinkles
Effectively reduce the appearance of frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead wrinkles caused by repeated muscle movements. Botox® temporarily relaxes specific facial muscles, allowing your skin to smooth out and creating a more youthful, refreshed appearance that looks completely natural.
Prevent Future Lines
Botox® not only treats existing wrinkles but also prevents new ones from forming. By relaxing the muscles that create expression lines, regular Botox® treatments can slow the aging process and keep your skin looking smoother for years to come, making it an excellent investment in long-term facial aesthetics.
Quick and Convenient
Transform your appearance in just 15-30 minutes with no downtime required. You can receive your Botox® treatment during a lunch break and return to work immediately. Results begin to appear within 3-7 days and continue improving for up to two weeks after treatment.
Natural-Looking Results
Natural-Looking Results
What to Expect from Your Botox® Results
Timeline of Visible Improvement
You'll begin to notice subtle improvements within 3-5 days after your Botox® treatment, with optimal results visible by 10-14 days. The gradual onset ensures natural-looking results that appear as though you're simply well-rested and refreshed. Most patients are thrilled with the smooth, youthful appearance that develops over this timeframe.
Targeted Wrinkle Reduction
Botox® effectively smooths dynamic wrinkles in key areas including frown lines between the eyebrows, horizontal forehead lines, and crow's feet around the eyes. Dr. Neavin's precise injection technique targets specific muscles while leaving surrounding areas unaffected, ensuring you maintain natural facial movement and expressions.
Duration and Longevity
Your Botox® results typically last 3-6 months, with many patients enjoying optimal effects for 4 months. Over time, with regular treatments, some patients find their results last longer as the treated muscles become trained to remain relaxed. The longevity of results varies based on individual factors such as metabolism, muscle strength, and lifestyle.

"Dr. Neavin has the most gentle touch and amazing eye for natural results. My Botox® treatments with him always look perfect - no one can tell I've had anything done, but everyone comments on how refreshed and youthful I look. He never over-treats and always listens to my concerns. I've been coming to him for three years now and wouldn't trust anyone else with my face."
""I was nervous about trying Botox® for the first time, but Dr. Neavin made me feel so comfortable and explained exactly what to expect. The treatment was quick and virtually painless, and my results look completely natural. My forehead lines are gone but I can still move my eyebrows normally.
