Laser Hair Removal Southfield, Michigan

Botox® is one of the most trusted and widely used treatments for wrinkle reduction and facial rejuvenation worldwide. At Dr. Beauty in Metro Detroit, Botox® injections help our patients bring back youthful skin and improve their appearance with minimal downtime. With over 13 million vials sold globally and FDA cosmetic approval since 2002, it’s no wonder Botox® continues to be one of the top anti-aging treatments available.

What Is Botox®?

The Botox® formula is a purified form of botulinum toxin type A that temporarily paralyzes targeted muscles, allowing the skin above them to relax. Therefore, when injected into the face, Botox® helps smooth out dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated muscle movement (smiling, squinting, or frowning) without giving a “frozen” look.

Botox® targets facial aging in several areas, including:

  • Forehead wrinkles (lines across the forehead)
  • Frown lines (also known as the “elevens”)
  • Crow’s feet (around the eyes)
  • Under-eye lines (directly under the eyes)
  • Marionette lines (extending from the corners of the mouth to the chin)
  • Corner droop (slight drop or frown at the mouth corners)
  • Bunny lines (lines at the bridge of the nose)
  • Platysmal bands (protruding muscle bands in the neck)
  • Mentalis dysfunction (denting or dimples in the chin)
  • Gummy smile (overexposed gums and teeth when smiling)
  • Vertical lip lines (wrinkles above and below the lips)

Though primarily used for aesthetic reasons, Botox® also offers critical medical benefits. For example, it’s commonly used to treat neck pain, headaches, muscle spasms, overactive bladder, and excessive sweating.

Is Botox® Right For Me?

Ideal candidates for Botox® are adults starting to notice dynamic lines and wrinkles. It’s also beneficial as a preventative measure to delay deeper wrinkle formation.

However, Botox® is not suitable for those with nerve or muscle diseases or allergies to the formula. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding will need to wait before starting or continuing treatment.

What Happens During a Botox® Appointment?

Our highly trained cosmetic team will inject Botox® directly into the targeted facial muscles using fine needles (similar to diabetic needles). While patients report minimal discomfort (often described as a slight pinch that quickly fades), we may use a topical anesthetic or numbing agent for added comfort. The entire process usually takes less than an hour, making it a convenient lunch break option.

The Recovery Process

After treatment, some redness, swelling, or small bumps might occur at the injection sites, but these effects should quickly resolve. There’s little to no downtime, and most patients return to normal activities right away.

To ensure optimal recovery, you should avoid vigorous exercise, touching the treated area, and direct sun exposure during the first 24 hours. Full results generally appear within 7 days, with improvements beginning as early as 48–72 hours later.

How Much Does a BOTOX® Treatment Cost?

Botox® cost in Michigan ranges from $9 to $12 per unit. The final price depends on the treatment area and the number of units needed. Dr. Beauty maintains transparent pricing and remains one of Michigan’s most trusted, competitively priced clinics.
