Botox & Neurotoxins
Soften the "11" lines between your brows, forehead creases, and crow's feet, placed conservatively so you look rested, not frozen.
What it is
Botox and other neuromodulators (we also offer Xeomin and Daxxify) gently relax the specific muscles that crease your skin when you frown, concentrate, or smile. Treated thoughtfully, that softens the lines you don't love, like the vertical "11s" between your brows, horizontal forehead lines, and crow's feet at the eyes, while leaving your natural expressions intact. Our approach is anatomy-first and deliberately conservative: we'd rather you leave looking like a well-rested version of yourself and return for a small touch-up than ever overdo it. Pricing is per unit, and the number of units is tailored to your anatomy and goals at your consultation.
Botox, Xeomin or Daxxify: which is right for you?
Botox, Xeomin and Daxxify are all FDA-approved neuromodulators, the treatments many people call wrinkle relaxers. They soften the lines you make when you frown, squint or raise your brows by gently relaxing the muscles behind them.
So how do they differ? Botox is the name most people know. Xeomin is made without the extra proteins found in some other options, which some patients prefer. Daxxify is the newer option, and many people find their results last longer. Individual results vary.
At your consultation, your injector recommends one based on the area you want treated, how you have responded to a neuromodulator before, and your goals. If you have had one before and liked how it worked, that is a sensible place to start. Pricing is per unit and differs by product. Individual results vary.
Is it right for you?
Botox & Neurotoxins is often a good fit if you're focused on:
- Lines that appear when you frown, concentrate, or smile
- A refreshed, less-tired look without surgery
- Starting a preventative routine in your late 20s or 30s
- Maintaining results you've started elsewhere
Let's talk first if:
- You're pregnant or breastfeeding. We'll wait until it's appropriate
- You have a neuromuscular condition; let us know at your consult
- You're after restored volume rather than softened lines. Filler or a biostimulator may suit you better, and we'll tell you honestly
The best way to know is a consultation, where we review your goals and health history and recommend an honest plan.
What to expect
Botox is a quick, in-office visit. Here's how a typical appointment goes:
- 1
Consultation
We watch how your muscles actually move, listen to what bothers you, and agree on a conservative plan before anything is done.
- 2
The treatment
A few precise injections with a very fine needle. Most patients describe it as a brief pinch, and it usually takes only a few minutes.
- 3
Comfort & downtime
There's little to no downtime, and most people head straight back to their day. We'll review simple aftercare, like keeping the area undisturbed and staying upright for a few hours.
- 4
Timeline to results
Botox isn't instant. Most people notice lines beginning to soften within a few days, with the full effect settling over roughly one to two weeks. Individual results vary.
Realistic results
Done well, Botox looks like nothing in particular: just a smoother, calmer, less-tired version of your own face, with your expressions still very much yours. Results aren't permanent: the effect gradually fades, and most patients come back for maintenance a few times a year to stay consistent. We set honest expectations up front and never chase a frozen look.
Results may vary.
Botox & Neurotoxins: common questions
Will Botox make me look frozen?
Not when it's dosed conservatively and placed with care. At FloAesthetics we treat only the specific muscles creating the lines you want softened, so your natural expressions stay intact. Our injectors favor a refreshed, rested look over an overdone one, and we'd rather start conservatively and add a touch-up than do too much. Individual results vary.
Does getting Botox hurt?
Most patients find Botox quick and very tolerable. We use a fine needle for a few small injections, and many people describe it as a brief pinch that's over in minutes. Let your injector know if you'd like to discuss comfort measures.
How soon will I see results from Botox?
Botox isn't instant. Most people see their lines start to soften within a few days, with the full effect showing at around two weeks. If anything looks uneven as it settles, we'll see you for an assessment. Individual results vary.
How long does Botox last?
Botox results usually last around three to four months, so most people come back a few times a year to keep their results consistent. The effect wears off gradually rather than all at once, and at your consultation we'll map a timeline that fits your goals and how your body responds. Individual results vary.
Is there downtime after Botox?
There's little to no downtime after Botox. Most patients return to their normal day right away, following a few simple aftercare steps we'll review, such as keeping the treated area undisturbed and staying upright for a few hours. We give you personalized guidance at your visit.
How much does Botox cost in Clear Lake?
Botox at FloAesthetics in Clear Lake is priced from $14 per unit for Botox (Daxxify $14 per unit; Xeomin $11 per unit). Your total depends on how many units your treatment needs, which varies with your anatomy and goals, so we confirm the unit count and the exact price with you at your consultation, before any treatment begins. We accept Allē rewards on eligible Botox treatments, and offer financing through Cherry and Klarna.
What's the difference between Botox and Xeomin?
Botox and Xeomin are both FDA-approved neuromodulators that soften the lines you make when you frown, squint or raise your brows. Botox is the name most people know. Xeomin is made without the extra proteins found in some other options, which some patients prefer. At FloAesthetics in Clear Lake both are priced per unit, and your injector recommends one at your consultation based on your goals and any past treatment. Individual results vary.
Is a wrinkle relaxer the same thing as Botox?
Yes, in everyday use. "Wrinkle relaxer" is a common name for neuromodulators such as Botox, Xeomin and Daxxify, which temporarily relax the muscles that crease the skin when you frown. Botox is one brand of wrinkle relaxer; Xeomin and Daxxify are others, and FloAesthetics in Clear Lake offers all three.
What is a Botox appointment like?
A Botox appointment at FloAesthetics in Clear Lake is a short in-office visit: a consultation, a few small injections, and most people go straight back to their day. Your injector first watches how your muscles move and agrees a conservative plan with you. The injections use a very fine needle and usually take a few minutes. Before you leave, we review simple aftercare, such as keeping the area undisturbed and staying upright for a few hours. Individual results vary.
