BOTOX® Huntersville, NC

BOTOX® is well known as one of the most used injectables to diminish dynamic lines and wrinkles on the face. Simply put, it is one of the most effective non-surgical treatments for reducing the signs of age, and for restoring the skin to a more youthful and radiant appearance.

As you seek BOTOX® in Huntersville, NC, we invite you to schedule a consultation here at the Carolina Age Management Institute. We would love to talk with you further about the benefits of Botox, and to help you determine whether you are a good candidate for treatment.

What is Botox®?

Botox® is the trade name for botulinum toxin A, a purified protein complex that can be safely injected into certain parts of the face. When carefully administered by a trained professional, this injectable relaxes the underlying muscles, including muscles whose contractures lead to lines and wrinkles. In short, Botox® can provide a smoother, younger-looking facial appearance.

What are the Benefits of BOTOX®?  

There are a number of advantages to this treatment, including:

• It reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines between and around the eyes
• It can also minimize frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines
• Minimally invasive with virtually no discomfort
• No downtime
• Treats excessive sweating in off-label uses for the underarms and other body areas
• Provides relief for severe headaches such as migraines
• Lifts eyebrows to minimize a tired appearance
• Creates a more dynamic and fresh look as well as self-image

Medical director, Dr. Giordano and his staff at Carolina Age Management Institute welcome patients from Charlotte, Huntersville and surrounding areas of North Carolina interested in Botox® injections. Our reputation has been built on our promise to provide expert treatment in a compassionate, friendly environment. A minimally invasive injection of Botox® in Charlotte, NC interacts with the chemical process of the body between the neurons and the nerves in the muscles, temporarily paralyzing them. When the muscles of the face are paralyzed, it gives a younger appearance by smoothing fine lines and wrinkles.

Where Can BOTOX® Be Applied?

It is most often used around the eyes and forehead to diminish fine lines and wrinkles. It is also used to treat people dealing with excessive underarm sweating as well as severe headaches like migraines.

Where Should I Go for BOTOX® Treatment?

We strongly advise against DIY BOTOX® injections. The reason for this is simple: Injectable treatments require clinical skill, expert understanding of facial anatomy, and rigorous training, or else the results may be botched or even dangerous. 

Simply put – this is a medical procedure meant to be performed by medical professionals. BOTOX® is safe when injected by a clinically trained professional to specific areas of the face and body. However when inappropriately performed, injections may result in serious problems including but not limited to overtreatment, treatment too close to vital nerves and muscles, muscle paralysis and other adverse reactions. 

We would recommend seeking treatment from a skilled, trained injector, who can ensure your safety and also provide you with the most aesthetically-pleasing results. For BOTOX® in Charlotte, NC, we invite you to consider CAMI.    

What Happens During a BOTOX® in Huntersville NC Appointment?

BOTOX® is injected into the forehead muscles or those around the eyes. These muscles are temporarily paralyzed to relax the areas to create a more rested, pleasant expression. To add volume to areas where lines and wrinkles are deeper, dermal fillers may be injected following BOTOX® injections. BOTOX® also treats migraines when injected into the muscles around the forehead.

Preparation

There is no preparation for injections except for a consultation with Dr. Giordano to discuss your concerns about your facial imperfections and his recommendations to treat them. For the treatment, if necessary, a numbing cream may be applied to relieve any potential discomfort from the injection though most patients do not report any issues.
