BOTOX
Injections
What is botox and how does it work?
Botox is a prescribed medication made from botulinum toxin A, and it can only be obtained legally from a qualified doctor; however, just because you can get botox injections from a general practitioner doesn't mean that person is highly qualified in administering botox. A board-certified medical practitioner has received specialized training in the face's anatomy and how it affects your appearance, enabling them to understand how to use botox to its fullest potential.
That is why at Queen Aesthetics, we take botox injections seriously! You can always trust us to be your dedicated botox injection specialists in Houston area!
How long does botox last?
Botox can't last forever because after the neurotoxin wears off the nerves begin communicating again with the muscles telling them to start working, or contracting. Therefore, botox typically lasts around 3 to 4 months.
There will undoubtedly be some patients in whom it lasts longer, or shorter. It is worth noting that first-timers frequently observe that it may not last as long at first, but treatments may begin to last longer following the second treatment, and other following treatments of botox injections. However, it is worth stating clearly that everyone has a different experience, and the outcomes may differ.
Botox injections are often used for the following:
-
Lip Flips
-
Crow's Feet
-
Forehead Wrinkles
-
11's, also known as glabellar lines (in between eyebrows)
-
Excessive Sweating (hyperhydrosis)
-
Eyebrow Lifts
-
Under Eyes
-
Migraines
-
and much more!

Q: How does botox help migraines?
