Where to get Botox in Eagle Mountain, Your Guide to Smoother and More Youthful Skin
Hey there, EM, SS and Lehi beauties!
Are you curious about Botox but not sure where to start? Or maybe you're a seasoned pro looking for a fresh perspective? Either way, you've come to the right place! This guide will give you the lowdown on everything Botox, from how it works to where to get the best treatment in Eagle Mountain.
First off, need to clear some ways people talk about botox. There's the product "Botox" and getting a "botox treatment". Botox is a specific product and the first in the market. A botox treatment is the procedure of using a neuromodulator product (Botox, Xeomin, Jeuveau, Daxxify, Dysport) for cosmetic or medical purposes.
Think of it like Kleenex is to tissues, "I need a Kleenex"– it's become so popular that people often use "Botox" as a general term for all neuromodulators.
Be sure to ask your injector what product they're using to inject. Chances are that it isn't the actual Botox product.
Hopefully, that clears things up!
Botox: The Wrinkle-Busting Wonder ✨
Botox has become a household name, and gaining popularity. The injectables market is expected to almost double from $9B to $17B by 2032! This injectable treatment works wonders for reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, giving you a smoother, more youthful complexion.
How Does Botox Work?
Botox is a neuromodulator derived from a purified protein. When injected into specific facial muscles, it temporarily blocks the nerve signals that cause those muscles to contract. This softens the appearance of wrinkles and prevents new ones from forming.
What Can Botox Treat?
Botox is FDA-approved to treat a variety of concerns, including:
Forehead lines: Those horizontal lines that appear when you raise your eyebrows.
Frown lines (11's): The vertical lines between your eyebrows that can make you look angry or stressed.
Crow's feet: The fine lines that radiate from the corners of your eyes when you smile.
Bunny lines: The wrinkles that appear on the sides of your nose when you crinkle it.
DAO (depressor anguli oris): The muscles that pull the corners of your mouth downwards, creating a "sad" or "downturned" appearance.
Lip flip: Relaxing the muscles around the lips to create a subtle "flip" and the illusion of a fuller upper lip.
TMJ pain: Botox can help relieve jaw tension and pain associated with temporomandibular joint disorder.
Choosing the Right Neurotoxin: Botox, Xeomin, Jeuveau 🤔
While Botox is the most well-known brand, there are other neuromodulators available, each with its own unique characteristics.
Botox: The OG! Botox is a classic choice known for its reliability and predictable results.
Xeomin: Similar to Botox in that it contains botulinum toxin type A. But without any accessory proteins. This makes it a highly purified form of the toxin. Younger adults and first timers are great candidates for this product.
Jeuveau: A newer neurotoxin that's gaining popularity for its smooth results and potentially longer duration.
(At Angie's Injections, we offer Xeomin and Jeuveau! We'll discuss your needs and help you choose the best option for you.)
The Angie's Injections Approach: "Angie's Baseline" 👩⚕️
When it comes to injectables, I believe in a less-is-more approach. I call it "Angie's Baseline." Rather than starting with a high dose and potentially overdoing it, I prefer to start conservatively and gradually build up to your desired result.
Why? Because I'm not incentivized to upsell you or hit a sales quota.
Here's how it works:
Conservative starting dose: I'll start with a lower dose than you might find elsewhere.
Follow-up: We'll schedule a follow-up appointment in a couple of weeks to assess your results.
Adjustments: If needed, we can add more units at your follow-up appointment to achieve your desired outcome.
This approach allows us to:
Tailor your treatment plan: We will customize your treatment to meet your individual needs and preferences during your next visits till we have the perfect dosage.
What to Expect During Your Botox Appointment 💉
Consultation: We'll chat about your goals, assess your facial anatomy, and answer all your questions.
Cleansing: We'll cleanse the treatment area to prevent infection.
Injection: Using a fine needle, the neurotoxin will be strategically injected into the targeted muscles. Our needles are super thin and we also use multiple needles (they can dull with multiple pokes) to help reduce discomfort. Most clients describe the poke like a mosquito bite and some say they don't feel a thing.
Aftercare: We'll provide you with detailed instructions on how to care for your skin post-treatment.
Is it Painful? Most people describe the sensation as a mild pinch or sting. The needles used are very fine, and we can use ice to numb the area if needed.
How Long Does it Last? Toxins typically lasts around 3 to 4 months, but this can vary depending on the individual and the treatment area.
Botox Aftercare: Keeping Your Skin Happy ✨
To maximize your results and minimize any potential side effects, follow these aftercare tips:
Avoid touching or rubbing the treated area: This can cause the Botox to spread to unintended muscles.
Don't lie down for at least 4 hours: This helps prevent the Botox from migrating.
Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours: Increased blood flow can increase the risk of bruising.
Avoid excessive heat for 24 hours: This includes hot tubs, saunas, and sunbathing.
Use gentle skincare products: Avoid harsh exfoliants or retinoids around the treated area.
How Much Does Botox Cost in Eagle Mountain? 💰
A couple weeks ago, while at a training in Scottsdale Arizona 💰, I was talking to a well known injector in LA. She charges $16 per unit. Here in Utah, you're looking at more in the range of $12-15.
Botox is typically priced per unit. The cost of your treatment will depend on:
Number of units used: This varies depending on the treatment area and your individual needs.
Injector's experience: Experienced injectors may charge more for their services.
Location: Prices can vary depending on where you live. Large med spas usually charge more because more overhead.
BEFORE I inject, we'll review number of units and price, nothing worse than being surprised, especially when it comes to money.
