Botox®
How Do Botox & Other Wrinkle Relaxers Actually Work?
Botox, Dysport & Xeomin are wrinkle relaxers that are popular injectable treatments that smooth fine lines and dynamic wrinkles by relaxing targeted facial muscles. In addition to being quick, the procedure has minimal downtime and offers natural-looking results. Also, they can be used therapeutically for migraines and excessive sweating.

Treatment Overview
Botox® is a safe, FDA-approved injectable that relaxes overactive muscles that cause wrinkles. It uses botulinum toxin type A to block nerve signals, preventing muscle contractions in areas like crow’s feet, between the eyebrows, and on the forehead, making it an effective way to smooth fine lines. This quick, non-surgical procedure is also beneficial for medical issues such as chronic migraines and excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis). At Viva Medspa & Wellness, Botox® is tailored to each patient for natural-looking, comfortable results. In both men and women, Botox® helps reduce dynamic wrinkles without undergoing surgery. It’s suitable for patients in their late 20s or older who wish to minimize wrinkle appearance or prevent new wrinkles from forming.
Why choose Viva for Dermaplaning?
BOTOX® is the gold standard Neuromodulator in the industry for over twenty years. It is FDA approved for three areas of the upper face. This is a simple, nonsurgical treatment, injected directly into the muscles. Aesthetically, it’s used to improve the look of mild to moderate dynamic wrinkles (wrinkles in motion). BOTOX® is meant for people 18 to 65 years of age for a short period of time. It works by blocking nerve impulses to the injected muscles. Also, it reduces muscle activity that causes lines and wrinkles. When treated optimally, BOTOX® lasts an average of 3-4 months.
