Botox®

At Summerlin Dermatology, we are proud to offer Botox®, a leading cosmetic treatment that effectively reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles caused by aging, stress, and repeated facial expressions. Botox works by temporarily relaxing targeted muscles, allowing for smoother skin and a more youthful appearance.

How Does Botox Work?

Botox is a neuromodulator derived from botulinum toxin that blocks nerve signals to specific facial muscles, preventing them from contracting. This process helps reduce the visibility of frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead wrinkles while maintaining a natural-looking result. The treatment is quick, minimally invasive, and requires no downtime.


Benefits of Botox

  • Reduces Fine Lines & Wrinkles – Smooths frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead wrinkles for a refreshed look.

  • Prevents Future Wrinkles – Regular treatments can slow down the formation of deep expression lines.

  • Quick & Convenient – A 10-minute treatment with no required downtime.

  • Long-Lasting Results – Enjoy youthful skin for 3 to 6 months before touch-ups are needed.

  • Safe & FDA-Approved – Clinically tested and widely used for cosmetic and medical applications.

Who is a Good Candidate for Botox?

Botox is ideal for individuals looking to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles and fine lines caused by muscle movement. It is commonly used to treat:


  • Forehead lines – Horizontal wrinkles caused by raising the eyebrows.

  • Frown lines (Glabellar lines) – Vertical lines between the eyebrows.

  • Crow’s feet – Fine lines around the outer corners of the eyes.

  • Bunny lines – Wrinkles along the sides of the nose.

  • Jawline & Neck Bands – Softens jaw tension and reduces vertical neck bands.


Botox is not recommended for individuals who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain neuromuscular conditions. Consult with our specialists to determine if Botox is right for you.

What to Expect During Botox Treatment

Botox injections are performed in-office and take about 10 minutes to complete. A fine needle is used to inject small amounts of Botox into the targeted muscles. While the treatment is generally well-tolerated, a numbing agent can be applied for additional comfort if needed.


Most patients begin to notice visible results within a few days, with the full effects developing over 7-14 days. The smoothing effects of Botox typically last between 3 to 6 months, depending on individual response and lifestyle factors. To maintain optimal results, follow-up treatments are recommended.

Post-Treatment Care & Possible Side Effects

After Botox injections, patients can resume normal activities immediately but should follow these aftercare guidelines to ensure the best results:


  • Avoid Rubbing or Massaging the Injection Site – Prevents spreading Botox to unintended areas.

  • Remain Upright for 4 Hours – Helps Botox stay in the targeted muscles.

  • Limit Strenuous Activity for 24 Hours – Reduces the risk of swelling or bruising.

  • Skip Alcohol & Blood Thinners for 24 Hours – Minimizes bruising at the injection sites.


Common side effects may include mild swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection site. These effects typically resolve within a few days. In rare cases, temporary drooping of the eyelid or asymmetry may occur but will resolve as the Botox wears off.
