What is BOTOX®?

BOTOX® is an FDA-approved, purified form of botulinum toxin type A that gently relaxes targeted muscles. It can address a range of aesthetic concerns, such as:

  • Forehead creases
  • Frown lines
  • Crow’s feet
  • Bunny lines
  • Lip lines
  • Chin dimpling
  • Jawline contour
  • Neck bands

It also offers therapeutic relief for excessive sweating in the underarms, palms, and feet, making it both a cosmetic and functional solution when performed by our skilled injectors.

How Does Botox Work?

Over time, everyday facial movements, like smiling, frowning, or squinting, can leave lasting lines on the skin. BOTOX® works by gently interrupting the communication between the nerve and the muscle, reducing its ability to contract. This temporary relaxation allows the overlying skin to smooth out, softening existing wrinkles and preventing new ones from forming.

Because the treatment is highly targeted, only the specific muscles causing the wrinkles are affected, leaving the rest of your facial expressions natural and unaffected. VIVIFY’s expert injector, Michelle, customizes every treatment to enhance your features while maintaining your unique expressions.

Neurotoxins and How They Differ from Fillers

BOTOX® is part of a class of treatments called neurotoxins or neuromodulators. These treatments reduce muscle movement rather than add volume. This makes them different from injectable fillers, which are made from substances like hyaluronic acid and designed to restore volume loss and enhance facial contours.

Many patients combine both treatments for a more comprehensive rejuvenation, using neurotoxins to smooth expression lines and fillers to restore youthful fullness for balanced, natural results.

At VIVIFY Medspa, we offer several advanced neurotoxin options to suit your needs and goals:

  • BOTOX® (onabotulinumtoxinA)
  • Dysport® (abobotulinumtoxinA)
  • Xeomin® (incobotulinumtoxinA)
  • Jeuveau® (prabotulinumtoxinA)
  • DAXXIFY® (daxibotulinumtoxinA-Ianm)

What are the Benefits Of  BOTOX?

BOTOX includes a variety of benefits, including the following:

  • Little to no recovery time, allowing you to resume normal activities right away
  • Delivers quick, satisfying results with the flexibility to refine or adjust your look over time
  • Customizable maintenance schedule to fit your lifestyle and goals
  • Can be combined with other treatments like dermal fillers or laser therapy for enhanced results
  • Clinically proven track record with decades of safe, effective use worldwide

Am I a Good Candidate for BOTOX in Tampa? 

It’s natural to wonder if any single procedure is right for you. Typically, we’ve found the best candidates for BOTOX include:

  • Are in overall good health with no active skin infections in the treatment area
  • Notice dynamic wrinkles that appear with facial movement, such as frown lines or crow’s feet
  • May experience issues like jaw tension, teeth grinding, or excessive sweating that can be treated with BOTOX®
  • Are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or allergic to any ingredients in botulinum toxin products

How Much Does BOTOX® Cost in Tampa

At VIVIFY, BOTOX® is priced at $12 per unit, offering an accessible and effective way to smooth wrinkles and refresh your look. The total investment varies based on your facial anatomy, treatment goals, and the areas you target—most patients require between 20 and 60 units per session.

What is the Recovery for Botox?

You may start noticing subtle changes within 3–5 days, with optimal smoothing results visible around 7–14 days. Results typically last 3–4 months, though some areas may remain smoother for up to 6 months.

Michelle will recommend a customized maintenance schedule, often every 3 to 4 months, to maintain your appearance and help prevent lines from returning.

To ensure the best results and prevent adverse side effects, avoid:

  • Rubbing or massaging the point of injection to prevent the botulinum toxin from migrating to other areas of the face
  • Being in the sun too long, as excessive sun exposure may cause irritation
  • Exercise, for the first 24 hours

Botox FAQ

Can BOTOX® help with teeth grinding or jaw tension?

How soon before a big event should I get BOTOX®?

Will BOTOX® make my face look “frozen”?

Can BOTOX® be used to lift the brows?

How often should I repeat treatments for the best results?

Is there an age that’s “too early” or “too late” for BOTOX®?

What happens if BOTOX® is stopped after years of use?

Are there any risks or side effects with BOTOX®?

Can BOTOX® help with teeth grinding or jaw tension?

Yes. BOTOX® can be strategically injected into the masseter muscles to help relax jaw tension, reduce teeth grinding (bruxism), and even create a slimmer jawline appearance.

How soon before a big event should I get BOTOX®?

For optimal results, schedule your treatment about two to three weeks before your event. This allows the product to fully take effect, and any minor swelling or redness to resolve.

Will BOTOX® make my face look “frozen”?

Not at VIVIFY. Our injectors use a precision approach, targeting only the muscles that cause unwanted lines while preserving your ability to express yourself naturally.

Can BOTOX® be used to lift the brows?

Yes. A “BOTOX® brow lift” involves relaxing specific muscles that pull the brows downward, allowing the brows to sit slightly higher for a more open, refreshed eye area.

How often should I repeat treatments for the best results?

Most patients schedule maintenance appointments every three to four months to maintain consistent results and prevent lines from deepening again.

Is there an age that’s “too early” or “too late” for BOTOX®?

BOTOX® can be effective for adults of many ages. Some start in their late 20s or early 30s to prevent wrinkles, while others begin later to soften existing lines. The key is customizing the approach to your needs.

What happens if BOTOX® is stopped after years of use?

If you stop treatments, muscle movement will gradually return to normal, and lines may reappear over time. Your skin simply resumes its natural aging process without an accelerated aging effect.

Are there any risks or side effects with BOTOX®?

BOTOX®, when administered by an experienced injector like board-certified nurse practitioner Michelle Buchanan, is a safe, FDA-approved treatment. Common temporary side effects include mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site, and occasional tenderness or headache. Rarely, there may be issues like temporary eyelid or brow drooping, asymmetry, or unintended muscle weakness, but these typically resolve as the product wears off.
