Looking for the ultimate wrinkle eraser? You’ve found it. Botox is a minimally invasive cosmetic injectable that softens moderate to severe facial lines and wrinkles that develop as we age. That’s why it is often referred to as a “wrinkle relaxer.” In fact, Botox treatments will not dramatically change your facial appearance.
Instead, you’ll see results that are natural looking and striking within a few days. The muscles in your face are simply relaxed, so you can still frown, smile or look surprised without those pesky wrinkles and creases. Plus, it helps prevent lines and wrinkles from deepening over time.
How Does Botox Work?
Botox is a clear liquid that is injected with an ultra-fine needle into the area being treated. It prevents nerve signals in the facial muscles from contracting, causing the fine lines and wrinkles to relax and soften.
Once the muscles are at rest, the skin becomes smoother — creating a more natural relaxed appearance. It is FDA-approved, has been used for over 20 years, and is safe and very effective.
Who Does Botox Injections At Viva?
At Viva, only advanced medical clinicians with masters-level practice degrees perform Botox and filler injections. This includes nurse practitioners (NPs) and physician assistants (PAs).
What Does An Injection Feel Like?
Quick and minimally invasive, you mid-level medical injector (nurse practitioner or physician assistant) will inject Botox with a very small needle directly into the muscles that need to be relaxed.
Most people only notice a tiny stinging sensation and experience no discomfort once the treatment is complete. Typically, you can return back to work or normal activity immediately post-treatment. On a scale from 1-10, most guests rate it a 1-2.
When Will I See Results?
You will see a noticeable improvement within 7-14 days of treatment. Botox results typically last 3-4 months.
How Often Will I Need Botox Injections?
Because we each metabolize the product at a different rate, the outcome is different for each person. Optimal results are typically achieved when treatments are received at regular intervals — around 3-4 times per year.
With continued use, many guests find they can decrease the number of maintenance sessions to between 2-3 visits per year. Muscle mass, age, and desired outcome will also inform your treatment protocol.
How Much Does Botox Cost?
The price of Botox injections depends on the size of your facial muscles, the number of treatment areas, the number of product units, and your desired outcome. Commonly, men need more injections than women because they have larger facial muscles.
Botox Cosmetic injections regularly cost $12/unit. Botox treatments typically cost between $250-$650 at Viva Day Spa.
Nationally, the average cost of Botox injections in 2018 is $397 according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

How Will I Feel After Botox Injections?
It is very common to feel slight heaviness or pressure in the treated area after Botox injections. Some people experience temporary side effects like a mild headache on the treatment day and the day after.
Slight redness and bruising may also occur at the injection sites. Most people experience no side effects at all and return back to work or their daily activities immediately post-treatment.

Botox vs Dysport. What's The Difference?
Both are neuromodulators with similar benefits and outcomes. Their formulas are different, which means one might be more effective for some treatment areas than the other — and visa versa.
Also, our bodies metabolize and respond differently. That’s why some guests who haven’t realized the results they desire with Botox report that Dysport works well for them. Viva’s experienced cosmetic injection specialists will help you decide with one is right for you.
