Botox Plano Treatment
Wrinkles are one of the first and most distressing signs of aging. They often begin to appear sometime in the late twenties or thirties, as many adults would like to treat and prevent future wrinkles. While there are several ways to do this, one of the most effective options is Botox treatment Plano, which relaxes existing muscles (causing dynamic wrinkles) and prevents the formation of future wrinkles. Botox Bar offers the best Botox Plano provides.
Botox Injections
Botox Plano contains a bacteria-derived protein that temporarily reduces unnecessary muscle movements in the treatment area. For cosmetic usage, it is most commonly injected into particular facial muscles, and many areas are FDA approved. However, some medical indications lead to injections in certain areas of the body such as the underarms, palms, or feet.
Millions of people receive Botox and other neurotoxin injections every year. It is considered one of the most effective and safest cosmetic anti-aging procedures. Though, you should ensure that you seek out a qualified provider like those at Botox Bar, who are qualified medical providers and trained cosmetic injectors.
History & FDA Approvals of Botox
A husband-wife duo—consisting of an ophthalmologist and dermatologist—first discovered the cosmetic benefits of Botox while participating in the first medical uses of the neurotoxin. Working together, the Canadian-based couple were instrumental in introducing the power of Botulinum toxin to the cosmetic industry. Despite initial skepticism from their peers, they were ultimately successful in proving the safety and efficacy of Botox for wrinkle treatment.
The neurotoxin received its first FDA approval in 1989 to treat two eye disorders. It ended up getting approval for the first cosmetic use in 2002 to treat frown lines. Since then, the neurotoxin has received several further approvals in both the cosmetic and medical markets.
Some of the other FDA-approved uses of Botox include:
- Urinary incontinence
- Migraines
- Crow’s feet
- Cervical dystonia
- Upper limb spasticity
- Forehead lines
- Hyperhidrosis
- Strabismus
The FDA is still studying new uses of Botox treatment Plano. Therefore, further approvals are expected in the near future. At Botox Bar, our team focuses specifically on cosmetic applications, but may also inject it to help treat chronic migraines, hyperhidrosis, and TMJ.

Botox Plano Treatments
As previously mentioned, Botox treatment Plano is extremely versatile and used for several different treatments. Below, you can find more detailed descriptions of what the providers at Botox Bar offer and what you can expect from treatment.
Forehead Botox Treatment
Raising the eyebrows contracts the frontalis muscle, and over time can cause wrinkles to begin forming on the forehead. Starting as dynamic wrinkles—which are wrinkles or lines that only appear when performing the movement— they eventually become permanent fixtures of the face. Injecting Botox into the frontalis muscle stops the movements which cause the skin to wrinkle, but does still allow for natural expression. This is one of the most popular Botox treatments.
Before & After Forehead Botox
Crow’s Feet Botox Treatment
The crow’s feet is the term for the three small wrinkles that form along the corners of the eyes. Botox can also relax these and prevent further deepening. These form due to laughing or squinting, or similar movements where the eyes may narrow. Like much of the upper face, this area is not suitable for filler treatment and thus neurotoxins are the best option.
Before & After Crow’s Feet Botox
Glabella Botox Treatment
The glabella was the first cosmetic area to receive FDA approval. As the space between your eyebrows, scrunching and scowling can form what are known as frown lines or “the 11s”. These lines are often one of the first signs of aging that many patients see. A small amount of Botox in the area can relax these wrinkles and prevent the deepening of the frown lines over time.
Bunny Lines Botox Treatment
The bunny lines are small lines that form when scrunching the nose. While a less common cosmetic application, it only takes a small amount of Botox to address bunny lines. In some cases, nose filler may also help.
Gummy Smile Botox Treatment
A gummy smile occurs when the upper lip exposes too much of the upper gums. Usually, there is nothing medically wrong with this, but some people do not like the appearance. Botox can help relax the muscles in the area and bring your natural smile lower. When performed correctly, it does not affect the ability to smile and it still remains natural to the eye.
Lip Flip Botox Treatment
In similar fashion, the upper lip can be disproportionately thin compared to the bottom one. Filler often addresses thin lips, but it is best to inject filler in both lips. If only the upper lip needs treatment, your injector can use a neurotoxin to expose more of the upper lip for a more symmetrical and plumper lip appearance.
Migraines Botox Treatment
For people with chronic migraines, some treatments may work while others do not. Botox injections are FDA approved to reduce the frequency of migraines and sometimes they can help lessen the severity of migraines. Injecting Botulinum toxin along various points of the head both relaxes muscles that contract during migraines, but also can deactivate the nerves which receive migraine signals from the brain.
TMJ Dysfunction Botox Treatment
TMJ—shorthand for temporomandibular joint dysfunction—is a painful condition that causes jaw locking, hinders movement, and can cause pain in the jaw and cheekbones. The condition is often connected with teeth grinding. Thus, relaxing the muscles that cause involuntary teeth grinding and clenching, particularly during sleep, can help reduce TMJ symptoms.
Hyperhidrosis Botox Treatment
Hyperhidrosis is the term used to describe excessive sweating. The condition commonly affects the under arms, palms, bottoms of the feet, and face. For people with this condition, neurotoxins help reduce sweating by temporarily deactivating nerves in the area responsible for sweating.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: “How Long Does Botox Last The First Time? ”
On average, Botox results last between three and four months. Though, the longevity of the injections depends on several factors including your metabolism and lifestyle. People who are exceptionally active may see their Botox wear off sooner. Smoking and medical conditions can also impact how long your results last.
If you use Botox regularly for several years, a small subset of patients may build an immunity to it. Thankfully, Xeomin is another product that does not contain the proteins that your body can build immunity. Therefore, if this happens, you can likely still continue wrinkle relaxing injections.
Q: “What Are The Risks Of Botox?”
Overall, Botox is one of the safest cosmetic treatments available. It carries few risks for most patients. However, there are some possible complications, especially in high risk patients or when performed by an inexperienced provider. Possible risks include:
Infection
Allergic reaction
Prolonged side effects such as swelling or bruising
Temporary facial weakness
Spreading of the Botox
Unintentional effects such as drooping eyelids or a crooked smile
Temporary flu-like symptoms
Most of these complications are either temporary or treatable. Though, unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, there is no reversal agent. This makes it especially important to see a provider who is experienced and qualified. Life threatening complications are nearly non-existent and almost unheard of. Additionally, most complications affect only the treated areas or nearby areas.
Q: “Where Else Can You Use Botox?”
Other than the aforementioned Botox Cosmetic treatments, a few other possible treatments include:
Facial slimming (masseter Botox)
Corners of the mouth drooping
Neck bands
Chin dimpling or wrinkles
Lipstick lines
Q: “What Is The Success Rate Of Botox For Migraines?”

Xeomin
Jeuveau/Newtox
