botox cosmetic

Botox in Austin at Revelus Dermatology is led by board-certified dermatologists and experienced medical providers who focus on natural-looking results. We use Botox Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA) to soften frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet. Most treatments take just 5 to 10 minutes.

Every treatment is dosed based on your facial anatomy and muscle activity, not a fixed unit count. The goal is to soften lines while keeping your natural expression. Our South Austin office welcomes patients from Westlake, Bee Cave, Lakeway, and surrounding communities.

what is botox

Botox is the brand name for onabotulinumtoxinA, an FDA-approved injectable that temporarily relaxes the small muscles that create expression lines. It is one of the most widely studied neuromodulators, with decades of clinical use. When injected in small, precise doses, Botox blocks the signal that tells a muscle to contract. As the muscle relaxes, lines soften. Results typically begin within 2 to 10 days, reach full effect at about 14 days, and last about 3 to 5 months before muscle activity gradually returns.

Botox is not a filler. Fillers restore volume, while Botox reduces the movement that creates lines. Many patients use both for complementary results.

botox vs. dysport, jeuveau + xeomin

Botox, Dysport, Jeuveau, and Xeomin are all FDA-approved neuromodulators made from botulinum toxin type A, and each works by temporarily relaxing the facial muscles responsible for expression lines. They differ in formulation, unit dosing, and rewards programs. Botox has the broadest set of FDA-approved treatment areas of the four.

Couple meeting with dermatologist to discuss Botox treatment options for men and women

botox for men

Botox is one of the most popular non-surgical treatments among men in Austin, commonly used to soften frown lines between the brows, forehead lines, and crow’s feet. Men typically have stronger facial muscles than women, so dosing and injection placement are adjusted to maintain a natural, masculine appearance. At Revelus, your provider evaluates your muscle activity and facial anatomy so results look refreshed, not frozen. Many men start with a conservative approach and adjust over time based on their results and preferences.

masseter botox

Masseter Botox is injected into the jaw muscles to help relieve clenching, teeth grinding, and jaw tension. Over time, relaxing these muscles can also soften the appearance of a wider lower face. Masseter treatment is not an FDA-approved use of Botox Cosmetic, so your provider will assess your jaw anatomy and symptoms to determine whether it is appropriate for you. Results typically develop over 2 to 4 weeks and last about 3 to 5 months, with maintenance treatments recommended for ongoing relief.

Masseter Botox is available with Lindsay Weber, PA-C.

preventative botox

Preventative Botox uses lower doses to soften early expression lines before they become deeper and more noticeable at rest. It is commonly requested by patients in their mid-20s to early 30s who want a proactive approach to aging skin. By gently reducing repetitive muscle movement, preventative Botox can help maintain a smoother appearance over time.

Your dermatologist will evaluate your skin, muscle activity, and goals to determine whether preventative treatment is right for you. Many patients pair it with daily sunscreen and a consistent skincare routine for long-term skin health.

what to expect*

Revelus Dermatology check mark graphic
Before your appointment

Arrive with a clean face, free of makeup, lotions, and deodorant. If possible, avoid aspirin and NSAIDs such as ibuprofen for about 3 days beforehand, and alcohol for 24 hours, to reduce the chance of bruising. Let your provider know about any prior neuromodulator treatments and your current medications. Botox is not performed during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

During treatment

Your provider will review your goals and assess your facial movement to determine where to inject and how many units to use. The treatment area is cleansed, and injections take about 5 to 10 minutes. Most patients describe a quick pinch with each injection. Small bumps or redness at the injection sites are common and usually fade within a few hours.

After your treatment

Do not lie flat, bend over, or rub the treated area for 4 hours. Wait 4 hours before gently applying makeup. Avoid exercise, alcohol, and flying for 24 hours. Mild bruising can last up to a week. Results begin within 2 to 10 days and reach full effect at about 14 days. If any adjustments are needed, schedule a follow-up after that 14-day mark.
