What is Botox®?

At Thrive, we use Botox effectively to minimize fine lines and wrinkles caused by repetitive facial expressions like frowning and squinting. The areas that are most commonly treated with Botox include the number “11’s” between the brows, the crows feet areas and the forehead wrinkles. Other popular areas include the fine lines around the lips and the platysma muscle, which runs down the sides of the neck and is responsible for many aging-related changes.

Actual Patient

The Botox® Procedure

Before a wrinkle relaxer treatment, patients undergo a thorough consultation. We recommend staying away from blood thinner medication and alcohol consumption for 24 hours before the treatment. Following those guidelines will aid in minimizing bruising.

Our experienced provider accurately injects Botox in the targeted area. While the appointment is 30 minutes, the actual treatment with Botox lasts only 5-10 minutes with minimal discomfort. Following the treatment, patients may experience temporary redness or swelling that dissipates within a few minutes.

Your Recovery and Results

Following the brief injection session, there’s no downtime, allowing you to resume daily activities once you leave the office. Results become noticeable within a few days, reaching full effect in two weeks. Targeted muscles gradually begin relaxing, leading to a natural and more youthful appearance.

Safety is Our Priority

At Thrive Medical Spa, we prioritize your safety, well-being and comfort above all else. With a steadfast commitment to offering safe, effective services and treatments, we aim to foster an environment where you can THRIVE, supported by our unwavering dedication to your wellness and peace of mind. During your initial consultation, your provider will thoroughly explain any possible risks associated with each procedure and the safety protocols we have in place.

Reviews That Keep Us Thriving

”I had my first experience at Thrive a couple weeks back and my first experience was amazing. The place is beautiful and everyone was super friendly. I met with Tara Owens who did my Botox and filler. She was very gentle and gave me great tips on where and what needed to be done. I highly recommend her and can’t wait to go back!”
