Smooth Lines Without Looking Overdone
Botox and Dysport injections performed by a qualified Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner in Roscoe, Illinois.
If you see fine lines forming around your eyes or across your forehead when you look in the mirror, you are noticing the visible result of repeated muscle movement beneath the skin. In Roscoe, many people notice these lines becoming more prominent as they age, especially frown lines between the brows and crow's feet that deepen with each expression. Radiance By Roxanne offers Botox and Dysport injections that address these concerns by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for creating those wrinkles.
Both Botox and Dysport work by blocking nerve signals to specific facial muscles, allowing the skin above those muscles to smooth out over the course of several days following treatment. Your Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner evaluates your facial structure and listens to your goals before injecting precise amounts into targeted areas such as the forehead, between the eyebrows, or around the outer corners of the eyes. The procedure takes about fifteen to twenty minutes, and most people return to their normal routines immediately afterward. Results typically appear within three to five days and last three to four months depending on your metabolism and muscle activity.
If you want to address visible lines without changing how your face naturally moves, schedule a consultation in Roscoe to discuss a treatment plan tailored to your specific concerns.
What Happens During and After Your Appointment
When you arrive for your appointment in Roscoe, your provider begins by marking the injection sites based on where your muscles contract when you make certain facial expressions. A very fine needle is used to inject small amounts of Botox or Dysport into those marked areas, and the entire process is completed in one short session. You may feel a slight pinch during each injection, but most people find the discomfort minimal and brief.
Within a few days, you will notice that the treated muscles relax and the lines above them begin to soften. Your forehead will look smoother when you raise your eyebrows, and the vertical lines between your brows will be less visible when you frown. Crow's feet will appear less pronounced when you smile. Your face still moves naturally, but the repetitive motions that deepen wrinkles are reduced.
There is no recovery period required, though you should avoid lying down or engaging in strenuous exercise for the first few hours after treatment to allow the product to settle properly. You can return to work, run errands, or attend social events the same day. Results are not permanent, so maintenance appointments every few months help you sustain the smoothing effect over time.
You might be wondering how this works for your situation
People considering cosmetic injections often have similar questions about what to expect before, during, and after treatment, so here are answers to some of the most common concerns.
- What areas can be treated with Botox or Dysport?
You can treat frown lines between the eyebrows, horizontal forehead lines, crow's feet around the eyes, a gummy smile, chin dimpling, and even request a lip flip that gently lifts the upper lip. Each area is evaluated individually to ensure the injections match your goals. - How often do you need to return for additional treatments?
Results typically last three to four months, so most people schedule follow-up appointments around that timeframe to maintain their results. Your provider will help you determine the right schedule based on how your body metabolizes the product. - What is TMJ treatment with Botox and how does it help?
Botox can be injected into overactive jaw muscles to relieve tension caused by temporomandibular joint disorder, which often results in jaw pain, difficulty chewing, and frequent headaches. The injections relax those muscles, reducing discomfort and improving jaw mobility over the following weeks. - Why would someone choose Dysport instead of Botox?
Both products work similarly, but Dysport tends to spread slightly more after injection, which can be useful for treating broader areas like the forehead. Your provider will recommend the option that best suits the treatment area and your desired outcome. - How long does it take to see results after the injections?
Most people begin to see smoother skin within three to five days, with full results visible after about two weeks. The timeline depends on how quickly your body responds to the product and the specific muscles being treated.
Radiance By Roxanne creates a customized treatment plan based on your individual needs and the specific areas you want to address, whether that involves smoothing forehead lines or relieving jaw tension caused by TMJ.
