BOTOX®
Aging is natural — but expression lines, crow’s feet, and forehead creases don’t have to define your look. At NectarineMD, we offer FDA-approved BOTOX® treatments and other neurotoxin brands like Jeuveau® and Xeomin®, collectively referred to as “tox” or “neurotoxin,” to smooth dynamic wrinkles and help you look as good as you feel.
All injectables are performed by Dr Tanya Adams, double board certified with 20 years experience in facial aesthetics. All neurotoxin treatments at NectarineMD are delivered with expert precision and a customized approach for natural, never-frozen results.
What Is BOTOX® ?
BOTOX® Cosmetic is an injectable neurotoxin that temporarily relaxes the facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles — the ones caused by repeated movements like frowning or squinting. It works beneath the surface to smooth areas such as the forehead, glabella (frown lines), and crow’s feet. Botox can also help refine the nose’s shape, lift mouth corners, minimize neck lines, and tighten the jawline.
At NectarineMD, we offer BOTOX®, Jeuveau®, and Xeomin® to ensure the best match for your aesthetic goals. While all three brands accomplish the same goal, each has several unique qualities that set them apart. Dr. Adams will guide you through the options and recommend the ideal product based on your anatomy, budget, and desired results.
What Are the
Benefits of Tox?
BOTOX®, Jeuveau®, and Xeomin® work by relaxing the dynamic muscles that cause fine lines and wrinkles to form. This science-backed treatment is loved for its ability to smooth away expression lines while preserving your natural look—giving you refreshed, youthful results without a frozen feel.
What Areas
Can Be Treated With Tox?
BOTOX®, Jeuveau®, and Xeomin® are FDA-approved to treat several areas of concern on the face and neck, but it is also commonly used to treat other cosmetic and medical concerns. The following areas are treatable with tox:
- Forehead: Softens horizontal lines caused by dynamic muscle movements like raising your eyebrows, for smooth, wrinkle-free skin.
- Glabella (“11 lines”): For the pesky vertical lines that form between our eyebrows when we squint, BOTOX® erases the tension in that area for a more relaxed appearance.
- Crow’s Feet: Minimizes the fine lines that radiate around the edges of the eyes for a refreshed look—without erasing your natural smile.
- Gummy Smile: Relaxes the upper lip muscle to reduce the visibility of the gum tissue for a more confident smile.
- Lip Flip: Relaxes the muscles around the upper lip for a subtle lip flip effect, creating more defined, fuller lips without adding a filler.
- Face Slimming and Tooth Grinding by Treating the Masseter: Tox can relieve TMJ symptoms like clenching and grinding by targeting the masseter muscle to ease facial pain. It can also slim the jawline by reducing muscle size.
- Chin Dimpling: Smooths out a dimpled or “orange peel” wrinkled texture on the chin by relaxing the mentalis muscle, revealing a more even texture.
- Jawline Tightening: Allows the muscles in the midface to lift the lower face, allowing the jowls and jawline to appear tighter.
- Neck Bands: Softens and smooths the look of vertical lines that run down the jawline to the neck.
- Reduces Sweating in Underarms and Palms of Hands: By blocking the nerve signals that trigger the sweat glands to become active, tox temporarily helps reduce sweat production.
- Turn Your Frown Upside Down by Relaxing the Dao (Depressor Anguli Oris): Relaxes the corners of the mouth that pull downward when frowning or even at rest, depending on your anatomy.
- Nose Slimming: Refines and slims the appearance of the nose by reducing nostril flaring and allowing the nasal tip to turn up slightly for a balanced, harmonious profile.
