Botox® Fredericksburg

Often described as the "fountain of youth," our BOTOX® treatment is the brand name for Botulinum Toxin Type A. BOTOX® was developed by dermatologists in 1980 to treat muscle disorders such as uncontrolled blinking and was later put to cosmetic uses for the first time in 1987.

Currently, our BOTOX® treatment is being used primarily to treat frown lines, forehead lines, crow’s feet and other wrinkles and fine lines that tend to accumulate over time and are the result of years of squinting and frowning. BOTOX® works on these wrinkles by temporarily relaxing the underlying muscles and results are seen just a few days following the botox treatment.

BOTOX® can also be very beneficial for patients with sweaty palms. This condition, also known as hyperhidrosis, can be very bothersome for people, especially in professions where they are regularly required to shake hands. The treatment is simple and involves tiny injections of BOTOX® on the palms. Results last for months at a time and patients have reported a very high satisfaction rate. Special pricing for this area applies, so please ask when you call for your appointment.

Typical Recovery Time: Treatment with injections and other fillers are done on an outpatient basis with numbing cream as needed. For lip augmentation, a local anesthetic block with Lidocaine is recommended by Dr. Palmer. Many patients come in on their lunch hour as these procedures only take 15-20 minutes (add 20-30 extra if you want numbing cream since it takes about that long to work). After your treatment, you might have some redness or swelling. This will normally last for only a few hours — a day or two at most, although everyone is different. Sun exposure should be avoided until any redness or swelling disappears.
