Everything You Need to Know About Botox Cosmetic From The Center

The Best Botox in Salt Lake City

Botox Cosmetic is a prescription medicine that is injected into the muscles of the face. It’s intended to temporarily diminish the appearance of lines in the face, specifically on the forehead, between the eyebrows, around the eyes, and the mouth. Treatment works by blocking nerve signals to the injected muscles so they can’t contract for a few. Botox Cosmetic helps you look like you but with less noticeable wrinkles and lines.

What’s the Difference Between Botox and Botox Cosmetic?

Botox is the name of a neurotoxin produced by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum. It can be used for medical conditions, such as muscle spasms and excessive sweating. However, Botox Cosmetic is an FDA-approved product specifically formulated to reduce wrinkles and lines on the face. The benefits are intended to be temporary, lasting up to four months.

What Should You Expect During a Botox Treatment?

Prior to your first Botox Cosmetic treatment, you will have an initial consultation with our provider at Still SLC. The doctor or nurse will evaluate the areas of your face where lines and wrinkles are most prominent, and discuss which muscle groups they plan to treat.

The procedure itself is quick and relatively painless. Using a very thin needle, your provider will inject Botulinum toxin injections, like Botox Cosmetic into the targeted muscles of your face. The entire treatment typically takes less than 30 minutes.

You may experience some redness and swelling at the injection sites immediately after your appointment. These symptoms should subside within a few hours, however, it is best to avoid any strenuous activities, such as exercise and heavy lifting, for the first 24 hours.

Botox Cosmetic is the #1 selling treatment of its kind.
It’s the first and only treatment FDA-approved to temporarily make moderate-to-severe frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines look better in both women and men.
It delivers predictable, subtle results, so you look like a refreshed version of yourself

What Botox Cosmetic Treats

A combination of factors causes facial lines. It’s not just about the cellular changes that occur in our bodies, the reduced production of collagen, or damage caused by free radicals in the environment.

Repeated muscle contractions in our faces, such as frowning, squinting, raising eyebrows, etc… cause the skin to furrow and fold. Gradually, vertical lines form on our foreheads, at the corners of our eyes, and around our mouths.

Botox Cosmetic works beneath the surface to temporarily reduce the muscle activity that causes frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines. Freezing the muscles helps the skin look visibly smoother.

What to Expect at Your Botox Cosmetic Procedure

Botox Cosmetic can also be utilized in the realm of healthcare to address various conditions and concerns

Excessive sweating
Facial tics or expressions
Drooping eyelids
Muscle weakness in the neck and shoulders
Overactive bladder
Chronic migraines

  I met Dr. Nielsen through a family member and as we talked about health and wellness Dr Nielson told me of the benefits of NAD+, which is essentially a precursor to our DNA and RNA production. I have arthritis in my back,, neuropathy in my feet and energy levels have been low. I started NAD+ and am experiencing some significant health benefits in energy, reduced pain levels, and brain clarity. I highly recommend Dr. Nielson for her high expertise, skill and personable nature.

  I’ll be honest- the only reason I went to Still my first visit was because they have the cheapest B12 shots in town, but at this point I think I’ll be a customer for life.

I recently had surgery that reduces my ability to absorb vitamins and was really suffering from a B12 deficiency- to the point where I was too dizzy to walk in a straight line, had absolutely no appetite, and was starting to have vision problems.

I explained my situation to Julie and she was able to provide me with a ton of helpful information. Not only did she educate me in regards to B12 injections, but she also let me know of other options, even going so far as to send me links to products that might work for me off of Amazon. I genuinely felt like she cared about my well-being and was not just considering me as a source of money.

The B12 injection was a GAME CHANGER. I honestly started feeling better within 10 minutes, to the point where I thought I might be going crazy. After 24 hours had passed, I was feeling like my old self again. After 72 hours the absorption had peaked and my energy levels were better than they had been in months. I have had one additional shot since then and plan to get them regularly for a while and then taper off as is appropriate.

I’ve also chatted with Julie about cosmetic options going forward- honestly you only have to talk to her for maybe three minutes to tell that this woman really knows her stuff. Additionally, her prices are very competitive for the area. The only way I know of to get cheaper botox in the city is to do it as a Guinea pig for a beauty school, which is…not ideal.

Speaking of prices, she also carries skinceuticals ce serum for cheaper than I’ve been able to find anywhere online. If you’re a skincare girl, you know this stuff is the ultimate holy grail product.

The location itself is well located, clean, and has super cute vibes.

Most importantly, Julie is a damn good time. After one appointment you’ll wish you were bffs.

I could not speak more highly of my experiences with Still SLC.

  Dr. Julie does a thorough job explaining the differences between products (like which lip filler is going to be best for your face and the results you’re looking for) and also does a fantastic job explaining where to inject Botox and why.  She doesn’t pressure you into anything—in fact she actually talked someone OUT of doing a filler because they didn’t need it yet, so that really solidified why I trust her. She goes through the pricing before she does any injections so there’s no sticker shock at the end.  Dr. Julie is patient and kind and will answer all your questions and alleviate any fears you have.  Her shop is tidy, comfortable and clean.
Dr. Julie is truly an artist—I had her do Botox in my forehead and around the wrinkles on the outsides of my eyes.  It looks natural and feels natural—my face isn’t frozen into a non-expression—it’s just softer looking and less wrinkly.  I also had her do filler on my lips and I told her I want it to look “noticeable but also natural.”  I wanted fuller lips but I didn’t want them to look like the “duck lips”that a lot of women have gotten.   My lips look plumper and lush—they look like my natural lips from my 20’s.

Botox treatments are not recommended for people who:

Are pregnant or breastfeeding

Are taking any blood thinners

Side Effects of Botox Cosmetic

Most people don’t experience any side effects after a botox procedure. However, it is possible to have some mild skin reactions at the injection site such as redness, swelling, or bruising that may last for a few days.

Serious side effects are rare but if you experience difficulty breathing, speaking, swallowing, or vision problems after your Botox Cosmetic treatments, seek medical attention immediately.

FAQs Regarding Botox

What is the difference between derma fillers and botox?

Dermal fillers are a type of product that is injected into the skin to add volume and hydration. It can help reduce wrinkles, replace lost volume in the face, and create a more contoured look. Botox is a prescription medicine used to temporarily improve the appearance of frown lines between the eyebrows, forehead lines, crow’s feet around the eyes, and other facial wrinkles.

While they can both help to reduce the signs of aging, Botox relaxes the underlying muscles that cause wrinkles while dermal fillers replace lost volume in the face. It’s important to discuss with your medical provider what option is best for you.

How much does botox cost?

The cost of Botox Cosmetic treatments will vary, depending on the size of the area being treated and the number of units used. Still SLC offers competitive pricing for all our services. Contact us today to learn more about the cost of your procedure at 801-874-4954.

No, there is no downtime required after a Botox Cosmetic treatment. You can resume your normal activities immediately following the procedure. It is important to follow your specialist’s instructions for post-treatment care to reduce any potential side effects.

Can botox be used preventatively?

Yes! Botox can be used preventatively to reduce the appearance of existing wrinkles and delay the formation of new ones. It is important to speak with a specialist about how to best tailor your treatments for long-lasting results.
