Botox Injections

Botox Cosmetic is a clear liquid that is injected with an ultra-fine needle into the treatment area. It uses botulinum toxin type A, specifically OnabotulinumtoxinA, to temporarily paralyze muscles. This 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. Botox is FDA-approved, has been used for over 20 years, and is safe and very effective.

All Botox, Dysport, and Juvederm/Restylane filler injections at Viva Day Spa + Med Spa in Austin are exclusively performed by our supervising doctor, Nurse Practitioners (NP) and Physician Assistants (PA) team, who are advanced medical clinicians with masters-level practice degrees.

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 patients 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.

You will see a noticeable improvement within 7-14 days of treatment. Botox results typically last 3-4 months.

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.

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. Men commonly require more injection units than women because they have larger facial muscles.

Botox Cosmetic injections costs $12/unit. The price of a Botox treatment ranges between $250-$650 at Viva Day Spa + Med Spa in Austin, TX. Nationally, the average cost of Botox injections in 2018 was $397, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

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.
