BOTOX®

Home » BOTOX®

At Evolve Medical Associates, your wellness is our top priority — and we know that wellness is more than just the way you feel physically, but also the way you see yourself. Our cosmetic services are personalized to fit your unique needs, to help you look and feel your best.

One of our most popular aesthetic treatments is BOTOX® Cosmetic, for facial wrinkles and folds. When applied by experts like our medical professionals at Evolve, BOTOX® is a safe, effective way to look naturally more youthful and refreshed.

About BOTOX

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a highly purified form of botulinum toxin that is used to treat dynamic wrinkles, which are wrinkles that form when facial muscles contract, and it is a proven treatment supported by more than thirty years of studies worldwide.

BOTOX® is derived from the bacterium that is directly associated with botulism, but it has effective medical and cosmetic uses. Its cosmetic form is used to treat age lines or wrinkles, but medically it’s used to address health problems such as dystonia (a disorder that causes involuntary muscle contractions), excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), and migraine headaches, to name a few.

As a cosmetic treatment, BOTOX® is injected into the skin in very small, safe amounts to selectively block the function of certain facial muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles. BOTOX® isn’t used for static wrinkles, which are those present when the muscles of the face are not moving, but it can help prevent them from forming by keeping the muscles relaxed.

The History of BOTOX®

Although researchers started experimenting with botulinum toxin as early as the 1970s, BOTOX® was first approved by the FDA in 1989 as a medical treatment for blepharospasm (uncontrollable blinking) and strabismus (misaligned eyes), and was approved to treat cervical dystonia, a neurological disorder that causes severe shoulder and neck muscle contractions, in 2000.

The results of earlier research and treatment showed that BOTOX® could also be used to treat wrinkles caused by muscle activity. In 2002, BOTOX® was approved as a cosmetic treatment, and in 2004, it was approved as a treatment for axillary hyperhidrosis (excessive underarm sweating) for patients who did not respond to topical prescription drugs.

Dr Sudy is the best! I have been seeing him for Dysport for over a year and always have such a wonderful experience. The rest of the staff is also great - shout out to Courtney. I couldn’t recommend Evolve more!

I've had several sessions with Isabella for microneedling. She does a wonderful job of making the process as comfortable as possible. She is a pleasure to talk with and is always upbeat and positive. I really enjoy my time with her. She goes above and beyond to explain the process and what is the best treatment for your skin.

Have been a patient / client of Evolve for over 10 years having had vitamin infusions before /after surgery, multiple varicose vein treatments and 3-4 different types of facials / treatments offered. The staff has always been pleasant, professional and always answered any questions I might have. Drs Sudy / Yousuff have also referred me to specialists when felt it was the right option instead of trying to lure me into a procedure that wouldn’t really suit my needs or be in my best interest. Would recommend their practice without any doubts!

I am immensely grateful to Isabella for the remarkable care and expertise she has provided during my BBL treatments. In just four sessions, my skin has undergone a significant transformation, and I couldn't be happier.
From the very first consultation, Isabella's meticulous approach stood out. She took the time to understand my skin concerns and walked me through the entire process. Despite the unique challenges of my skin, she provided detailed explanations, even specifying the optimal wavelength for the procedure.
I am thrilled with the progress my skin has made under her care. Each visit leaves me not only with improved skin but also with a genuine sense of happiness. Isabella even provided acne treatment samples, emphasizing her dedication to addressing every concern.
In just four BBL treatments, Isabella has worked wonders for my skin. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking top-notch dermatological care.

Botox for TMJ
Treatment

At Evolve Medical Associates, we offer Botox as an effective solution for relieving TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorder. Botox works by targeting the muscles responsible for jaw clenching and grinding, such as the masseter and temporalis muscles. By relaxing these muscles, Botox can reduce pain, improve jaw mobility, and help prevent long-term joint damage. Experience relief and improved comfort with our personalized TMJ treatment.

Botox for Hyperhidrosis Treatment

Our Botox treatment for hyperhidrosis effectively reduces sweat production by blocking the nerves that stimulate sweat glands. Whether you’re dealing with excessive underarm, hand, or foot sweat, Botox can provide long-lasting relief—often up to six months—helping you regain confidence and comfort in everyday activities. Let us help you feel fresh and dry with this simple, effective treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is BOTOX® Right for ME?

BOTOX® isn’t the right choice for everyone, but it depends entirely on the individual’s needs and goals. BOTOX® injections should be avoided if you have certain neuromuscular diseases, during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and while taking certain medications like antibiotics and blood thinning agents.

When you come to Evolve Medical Associates for your BOTOX® consultation, we’ll discuss your concerns and medical history in-depth to ensure that BOTOX® is right for you. If it’s not, we’ll adapt our individualized treatment plan and come up with another solution that fits your unique needs.

Do BOTOX® Injections Have Side Effects or Downtime?

Side effects from BOTOX® can occasionally occur, but they are only temporary, such as bruising at the injection site. Some patients have reported a mild headache after injection, as well as numbness and tingling. However, these symptoms wear off within the next day or so. Most patients return to their daily routine right away.

How Long Does BOTOX® Last?

Your first BOTOX® injection will typically only last three to four months, as it is injected into strong, thick muscle that has not been treated before. At subsequent sessions, the muscle is smaller and weaker (since it has not been used) and your injections may last longer.

When we craft your treatment plan, we’ll be able to determine how often you’ll need BOTOX® injections, as well as their exact placement and amount, to give you a better idea of how long it will last.
