Many fear what Botox is actually made out of and how it reacts with your body. Botox is a neuromodulator made from a purified form of Botulinum toxin, which is carefully processed to ensure safety and efficacy. When injected in small, controlled doses by a qualified professional, it safely relaxes specific muscles, reducing wrinkles without affecting overall facial expressions. This precision and proven track record for safety have made Botox a trusted and popular choice for cosmetic enhancement worldwide.

HOW MUCH DOES BOTOX COST?

The average cost of Botox ranges from $10 to $15 per unit. The total cost of Botox will vary depending on factors such as the amount of Botox needed and the treatment area. At Maui MedSpa, our price is $13 per unit or $12 per unit for Pearl or Queen Members. To get a full quote specific to your desired results, schedule a free consultation.

Botox works by reducing muscle movement under the skin, which is the real cause of wrinkles. Wrinkles are essentially folds of skin that are caused by the muscles under the skin contracting thousands and thousands of times, eventually ‘etching’ in wrinkles in their fold points. You can notice this by looking in the mirror and raising your eyebrows-you will see lines form where the skin wrinkles on your forehead! Botox works to block the nerve signals in these muscles, thereby stopping the formation of these wrinkles.

DOES BOTOX EVER STOP WORKING?

Sometimes people who have a routine of getting Botox for multiple years will start to see a diminishing effect. However, this is not unique to Botox and is a phenomenon we see with every neurotoxin. Sometimes, people will find that switching from Botox to Dysport or vice-versa will achieve greater results.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT DURING MY BOTOX TREATMENT?

During your Botox consultation, we will assess the muscle movement in the areas you hope to treat (forehead, ‘11’ lines, ‘Crow’s Feet’ etc.) and recommend a range of dosing options. Once we determine the correct dosing, your skin will be marked with a skin marker to note the correct placement of the injections. Then one of our aesthetic injectors will provide the injections. After this, your skin will be cleaned off and your appointment will be complete.

HOW MANY UNITS OF BOTOX DO I NEED?

The number of Botox units you need depends on how much residual movement you are comfortable with. A higher dose will result in less movement, while a lighter dose will reduce but not completely eliminate movement. Some people prefer no muscle movement, while others prefer to retain more expression. General guidelines will help you discuss your options with your injector.

Receiving Botox injections feels like a little bee sting. Some people do not mind it at all and some people like to squeeze on stress balls. Either way, you will definitely think it is worth it! Our medical professionals will make sure you are comfortable and help you through any worries you may have about receiving Botox injections.

CAN BOTOX BE COMBINED WITH OTHER PROCEDURES LIKE CHEMICAL PEELS, FILLERS, ETC.?

Yes. Botox can be used with nearly every other treatment we have, with a few exceptions.

HOW LONG DOES BOTOX LAST?

Generally speaking, you can expect BOTOX to have a VERY NOTICEABLE effect for 2-3 months, and after this, you will see the diminishing effect until, usually, NO effect is seen at the 5-month mark. However, the most important thing to remember with Botox is: DOSE = DURATION. The more units of Botox you receive per area, the longer it works.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR BOTOX TO WORK?

You will start to see it work at around day 5 and will continue to notice a progressively stronger effect until it peaks at day 14. Some people may see the results as soon as 24 to 48 hours after the treatment, while others may take up to a week to see the full effects. The exact amount of time it takes for Botox to start working depends on several factors, including the individual's metabolism, muscle activity, and the amount of Botox used.

WILL I LOOK 'FAKE' WITH BOTOX?

If used correctly, even full doses of Botox with maximum effect will look natural! It all depends on the correct placement to make sure areas critical for expression and a natural look are properly treated. Our trained medical professionals are highly skilled in facial anatomy and will ensure that you receive the right amount of Botox in the proper areas for your desired look.

ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS OF BOTOX?

Yes. The most common side effect is an asymmetric effect, such as one eyebrow being higher than the other. This can usually be easily corrected. Other common side effects include bruising or swelling at the site of injection. Very rarely, people can experience a local allergic reaction or an eyelid droop where some of the Botox traveled to, temporarily affecting the eyelid's ability to open fully.

What is the difference between preventative Botox and regular botox?

Preventative focuses on treating the areas before wrinkles are even present. Other styles of Botox focus on treating wrinkles that are already fully formed or have been etched in for many years.

Focus: Preventative focuses only on the big three areas: Forehead, Eleven’s and Crow’s Feet.

Age: Prevention starts in late 20’s whereas full scope Botox starts in the 30’s or in later decades of life.

Full scope Botox focuses on a much larger numbers of areas and requires a greater degree of planning.

what age is best to start wrinkle prevention?

It is best to start preventative botox in your 20’s and 30’s well before wrinkles form naturally.

BOTOX FOR TMJ Pain or Teeth Grinding

Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ) can cause discomfort and pain in the jaw joint and muscles that control jaw movement known as the masseters. Botox injections can help alleviate TMJ-related pain by relaxing the muscles responsible for jaw clenching and grinding, providing relief for individuals suffering from this condition.
