Hide your fine lines & wrinkles
Even if you avoid direct sun exposure and regularly care for your skin, wrinkles and fine lines are a natural part of our skin’s life cycle and are bound to show up eventually.
For years, the only option for treating sagging and wrinkled skin was going under the knife for a facelift. Today, we provide Botox in The Woodlands to offer our clients a tasteful, non-surgical way to restore youth and minimize the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, creases, and folds that have appeared from years of smiling, squinting, frowning, or yawning. If you are ready to look in the mirror and see smooth skin with a youthful glow, come to our med spa for Botox in The Woodlands!

Botox in Woodlands, TX
What it Treats
Botox Cosmetic is an FDA-approved prescription injectable neurotoxin that is used to improve the look of moderate to severe expression lines on or around:
- Frown lines (“11” lines between eyebrows)
- Forehead lines
- Top of the nose (“bunny lines”)
- Eyebrows
- Eyes (“Crow’s Feet”)
- Above the mouth (“lipstick lines”)
- Jawline & neck
- Chin
When you come to our office for Botox in The Woodlands, expect to spend no more than 20 to 30 minutes with us. We may begin by applying a topical anesthetic or using a cold pack to numb the injection areas in order to ensure your comfort during the procedure. We then use an ultra-fine needle to inject the Botox material into your skin. Most patients report feeling nothing more than a light pinching or pressure during the injections.

Depending on your tolerance, we may provide you with an ice pack immediately after your injections to reduce any redness or swelling you may experience. There is no required downtime with Botox in The Woodlands; most patients return to work or their regular daily routine after leaving our office with instructions to avoid direct UV exposure and rigorous exercise for a few days following their injections.

How it Works
Botox is a very carefully formulated and diluted strain of botulinum toxin, a nerve blocker, which temporarily constrains the tiny facial muscles that contract and cause smiles, frowns, or other expressive faces. When properly injected by the experienced specialists at Medical Aesthetics and Laser, Botox relaxes and prevents these muscles from contracting, softening the complexion, reducing wrinkles and folds, and preventing new wrinkles from forming.
Once the results from your Botox in The Woodlands appear, you will notice smoother skin with fewer lines and wrinkles. Friends and colleagues may comment that you look more well rested and youthful than you have in years!



Instructions
Before receiving your Botox injections in The Woodlands from Medical Aesthetics & Laser, we recommend:
- Avoid aspirin (e.g. Bayer, Excedrin) and other blood-thinning medications (e.g. Vitamin E, Fish Oil) for at least 10 days before injections. If you are taking this medication under direction of your doctor, be sure to speak with him or her for permission before discontinuing it.
- Avoid ibuprofen (e.g. Advil, Motrin) for 3 days before injections. Note: if you’re concerned about pain or bruising, you can take Tylenol before your appointment.
- Avoid alcohol for 2 days prior to injections as this too can thin the blood and cause bruising during treatment.
- Discontinue use of retinoid (Vitamin A) products for 2 days before & after treatment.
- Consider a zinc supplement in the weeks leading up to your Botox injections. Studies have shown that higher levels of zinc in the body are related to higher efficacy of Botox and other injectables.
- Make sure your skin is properly hydrated by drinking adequate amounts of water and using moisturizer morning and night.

To properly care for and get the most out of your Botox in The Woodlands, we recommend following-up your injections with:
- No touching or massaging the injection site to avoid moving the material to a spot it wasn’t intended to be.
- Keep your head upright.
- Avoid direct sun exposure and use sunscreen when outside as UV rays can disperse the injectable faster in your skin, making the effects shorter (not to mention the acceleration of aging by the sun!).
- Avoid scrubs, toners, and abrasive cleansers for at least a week to ensure you do not disrupt the precisely-applied Botox.
- Sleep face up and slightly elevated if you experience swelling.
- Avoid strenuous activity or aerobics for 24 hours after your injections.



I have been going to Angela at Medical Aesthetics and Laser for over a year. Angela is extremely competent and thorough in delivering excellent customer service. She is also knowledgeable in what treatments are needed to get the best results for a beautiful and younger appearance. I am very pleased with my results and highly recommend Angela at Medical Aesthetics and Laser. I would never go anywhere else.

I have been a client of Medical Aesthetics and Laser for the last few years. Prior to this, I tried several other clinics and doctor’s offices (including a couple of top plastic surgeons in Houston & The Woodlands) for Botox and facial treatments, but nothing can compare to results I have obtained with Allison and Kelli. I consider Allison to be both an expert and an artist in the way that she administers Botox and Dermal Fillers. She gives me a youthful appearance without causing me to look unnatural or contrived. I have used Kelli for laser resurfacing, chemical peels, and facials. Since adhering to her skin care regimen, my skin has never been as clear and healthy as it is now. I feel confident in recommending Medical Aesthetics and Laser to anyone who has the desire to improve their appearance, and gain confidence in the image that they project to others.

Within 7-10 days of your injection, you will see a noticeable improvement in dynamic wrinkles in your treatment area. These results will continue to improve for up to 30 days, though this time may vary from patient to patient.
Most patients are happy with the results of their Botox injections in The Woodlands for about 3-4 months. Gradually, the muscles will begin to move again and we suggest scheduling your next treatment to ensure the effects are maintained and no new wrinkles or lines are allowed to form.
Any discomfort felt during the treatment is minimal and brief. We take precautions to ensure your comfort by applying a topical anesthetic to numb the injection site and use very small, thin needles to administer the injections. Most patients are in and out in less than 20 minutes with no downtime. We also offer other pain management solutions for those feeling anxiety about his or her impending treatment.
If you are unrecognizable or look like you’ve “had work done” after your Botox injections, that typically means something is wrong. The results of Botox are visible, but will not radically change your appearance nor make you unable to move your face. Muscle activity is temporarily reduced, not eliminated, so you will still be able to show emotion–just without wrinkles and creases.
If you are allergic to Botox, the topical anesthetic, or the metal in the needles, you should avoid Botox. Additionally, Botox should be avoided by those who are susceptible to scarring, are pregnant or breastfeeding, have bleeding disorders, have weakened facial muscles or damaged nerves, or currently have inflamed skin due to a rash, active acne, hives, cold sore, or another reason.
Common side effects seen by the specialists at Medical Aesthetics & Laser include redness, swelling, and light bruising that typically clear up within a few hours of Botox injections in The Woodlands. Serious side effects from Botox are very rare and it is considered a very safe product when injected properly in a sterile, clinical setting.
Treatment costs can vary depending on your unique needs and how much product we are injecting. Your Medical Aesthetics & Laser specialist will provide you with the exact cost of your Botox injections up front in your initial consultation. We can accept CareCredit to cover the cost of your treatment.
