B0t0x
It is common to be bothered by early signs of aging on your face.
Have you had colleagues or family ask if you were tired or angry when you weren’t?
This is where b0t0x comes in.

B0t0x can provide a very beautiful, natural, and refreshed look. At Face & Body Boutique, we strive for the most natural results and do this by using an individualized treatment plan for each patient based on their particular needs.
At Face & Body Boutique we will ensure that your B0t0x will leave you looking natural and rejuvenated.
The Treatment
How does it work?
B0t0x is a protein used to relax muscles that create wrinkles during contraction. The treatment inactivates the muscles that are responsible for overactive facial expressions. It works by blocking the release of acetylcholine (neurotransmitter) from the nerve which is responsible for the contraction of the muscle. It is also used for medical problems such as migraines, excessive sweating (hyperhydrosis) and teeth grinding.
Wrinkles created during contraction (face expression) are dynamic wrinkles. However, they eventually turn into static or permanent wrinkles if not treated in a timely manner. B0t0x diminishes wrinkles giving your face a more youthful look.
The most common uses are: frown wrinkles, crow’s feet, forehead wrinkles and brow lifts.
Many other different issues can be treated at Face & Body Boutique, including:
Frown lines (between the brows)
Forehead lines
Crow’s feet (around the eyes)
Brow lift
Bunny lines
Gummy smile
Downturned mouth
Lip/smoker lines
Nefertiti neck lift
Platysmal bands
Submandibular gland ptosis
Migraines
Hyperhidrosis
Teeth grinding
What to expect?
The treatment is very simple. Just a few injections in the targeted area with minimal pain.
The procedure takes 10 to 20 minutes (short enough to come during your lunch break). Immediately after, there may be a small amount of swelling or redness that typically disappears in 15 minutes. Localized bruising is possible but uncommon.
Who is a good candidate?
During the interview, your wishes and expectations are discussed, general and medical questions are asked. The best candidates are people who are physically healthy, with no history of neuromuscular diseases (such as multiple sclerosis or myasthenia gravis), who are not pregnant or nursing and who are at least 18 years old. During an in depth consultation your provider will discuss your medical history and risks and side effects of the treatment.
Is there any aftercare required?
The treatment is a quick and safe procedure which has very little impact on usual activity on the day of injection. To allow the treatment to work optimally in the target muscle, the following precautions are usually suggested:
- No rubbing or massaging of the injected area for 4 hours after treatment, including facials.
- No strenuous exercise for 24 hours after treatment.
- Keep upright for 4 hours
- Avoid headwear that is tightly fitted across the forehead. (hats or headbands)
- Avoid excessive alcohol or medically necessary blood thinning medication before the treatment to prevent bruising.
It is possible to put make up on a few hours after the treatment and most patients return to their daily routine.
