The Secret to Timeless Beauty

As we age, the skin on our face begins to show the natural signs of time—fine lines, wrinkles, and creases become more prominent, especially around the eyes, forehead, and mouth. These changes can make us look tired or older than we feel. If you’re looking for a non-surgical solution to smooth these lines and refresh your appearance, Botox offers a proven and effective treatment. At Farrior Facial Plastic Surgery, we specialize in delivering subtle, natural results, helping you look and feel your best at any age. Our expert team is committed to providing personalized care and ensuring that your treatment enhances your natural beauty.

Botox at Farrior Plastic Surgery

At Farrior Facial Plastic Surgery, our patients love the way Botox, a neuromodulator, stops the clock on aging skin and turns it back for some.

Botox is a minimally invasive cosmetic enhancement that is FDA approved to treat moderate to severe crows feet, the frontalis and frown lines (11 lines) without the risks or downtime of surgery. It is great for treating crow 's feet and forehead wrinkles as well. If you're seeking a safe, effective way to eliminate wrinkles and fine lines, make an appointment with Farrior Facial Plastic Surgery.

Our Tampa Botox injectors are experienced medical professionals trained in safe injection techniques. As a board-certified Tampa plastic surgeon, Dr. Farrior carries only pure Botox purchased directly from Allergan, the world 's leading manufacturer of cosmetic injectables.

What is Botox?

Botox is an FDA-approved, purified protein that works to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by targeting the underlying muscle activity that causes them. Derived from a naturally occurring substance, Botox temporarily relaxes specific facial muscles, softening expression lines and preventing deeper wrinkles from forming.

With 43 muscles in the face, strategic Botox injections can create a smoother, more refreshed look while preserving natural facial expressions. It's a safe, non-surgical solution for reducing crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines, helping you achieve a more youthful appearance without downtime.

How Does Botox Work?

Botox is a safe, refined & purified chemical derived from clostridium botulinum bacteria.

It works by safely and temporarily paralyzing the muscles that control facial movement.

There are 43 muscles in the face. By reducing facial movement in just a few strategic areas, the skin relaxes and has a smooth, youthful appearance. Botox is the best nonsurgical way to reduce a furrowed brow, eye wrinkles, and forehead lines without resorting to surgery.

Botox Benefits

For decades, people have been enjoying the cosmetic benefits of Botox. There's a reason Botox injections are so popular.

The benefits are obvious. Here are just a few of the Botox benefits that keep patients coming back for more:

Non-invasive procedure
Customizable treatment
No downtime
It takes only a few minutes to perform
Less expensive than other cosmetic procedures
Results begin to appear within days
Natural-looking results

One less tangible Botox benefit is increased self-confidence when you know you look your best. You feel more self-assured when you look in the mirror and view a smoother, younger-looking face.

Botox Treatment Areas

Botox is designed to treat dynamic wrinkles. These are the wrinkles formed by muscle movement.

Forehead Wrinkles

Do deep horizontal lines on your forehead make you look older and angrier? Forehead wrinkles are sometimes called worry lines, which is not the look you want to project. Forehead muscles are used for many facial expressions, so these wrinkles appear early on and furrow quickly. Botox injections soften these deep lines, providing a more youthful and softer appearance. In just a few days after your initial injections, you'll notice smoother skin as forehead muscles begin relaxing.

Laugh Lines

Also known by the less attractive term crow's feet, appear on the skin around the eyes. Laughing, smiling, and squinting can exacerbate crow's feet, which are usually the initial signs of wrinkling on the face. Botox relaxes the muscles surrounding the eye corners. As a result, the skin looks smoother, and lines are less apparent when smiling or laughing.

Frown Lines

Those deep lines between the eyebrows are technically known as glabellar lines. However, they are more often referred to as frown lines or 11s. As the name implies, frown lines can make you look angry or annoyed - and much older. You may not feel that way, but that's the impression deep glabellar lines give. With aging and loss of skin elasticity, the glabellar lines become deeper and more prominent. Botox injections into glabellar lines relax a frowning look.

Some face areas are better served with dermal fillers or other non-invasive procedures. That's true of facial areas with static wrinkles, those wrinkles caused by loss of collagen. Dr. Farrior will discuss the best options for other facial areas, such as cheek augmentation or fine lines around the mouth.

What age should you start getting Botox?

Anyone over the age of 18 can receive Botox injections. Young adults are usually not good candidates for Botox treatment, but that changes as they reach their late 20s and early 30s. While typical Botox first-timers are women in their 40s and 50s, beginning an injection regimen by the age of 30 can make a world of difference.

That's when those first fine lines and wrinkles start showing up on the face. At that age, preventive Botox treatment can keep incipient wrinkles at bay for many years. So when your fine lines become visible, consider Botox treatment. Preventive Botox treatment means that less Botox is needed as time goes on. Many people don't start using Botox until their 40s, 50s, 60s or later. They will still experience good results, but starting Botox earlier reduces future fine line and wrinkles formation. Longtime Botox users will generally look about ten years younger than their peers.

Botox Results

Most patients begin to see visible improvements within 3 to 5 days after treatment, with full results appearing in about 10 to 14 days. The skin looks smoother, and fine lines and wrinkles are noticeably softened, giving you a refreshed and natural look. Results typically last 3 to 4 months, and regular treatments can help maintain your youthful appearance over time.

Botox Recovery and Aftercare

Botox requires little to no downtime, allowing you to return to your daily routine immediately. For the best results, avoid strenuous exercise, rubbing the treated area, or lying down for 4 hours after your appointment. There are no incisions, so no scar care is needed. To maintain your results, follow up with touch-up treatments every few months as recommended by your provider.

Science & Art

Is Botox Safe?

Yes, according to the FDA, Botox meets all safety standards.

However, side effects are possible. The most common are temporary redness and swelling at the injection site. This is normal and should subside in 1-2 hours. Mineral makeup may conceal the redness. Rare but serious Botox side effects may also occur. You will be advised of all risks prior to treatment. If you have questions or concerns, our registered nurse is happy to discuss it at your appointment.

It is important to see an expert injector like our registered nurse practitioner. When Botox is injected into the wrong muscles, it can cause drooping eyelids and other temporary cosmetic defects that can take months to resolve. While there are risks to all injectable procedures, this is the face we are talking about. Come to Farrior Facial Plastic Surgery to see an experienced injector who knows what they are doing.

How much does Botox cost?

The average Botox cost ranges from $10-15 per unit. Different injectors' prices may vary. Each patient needs a different number of units depending on wrinkle severity and how "smooth" you would like the skin to appear. It is difficult, if not impossible, to quote a price for Botox over the phone.

Coming in for a free consultation allows our injector to learn which areas you would like to treat, along with visually assessing the depth and severity of each wrinkle. You will also be asked to make different facial expressions during the appointment. That way, we can recommend the appropriate number of Botox units to achieve the look you want. After receiving a price quote, you can decide to get Botox the same day if you wish. However, there is no obligation or pressure to do so.

In truth, we can't compete with the ultra-low prices some medspas offer, but we charge a fair and reasonable price for Botox. The reason for that is we purchase real Botox from Allergan. You are also paying for the quality and skill of our highly trained injectors including Dr. Farrior, to give each patient beautiful, natural-looking results.

At Farrior Facial Plastic Surgery, it is our expertise and caring manner that keeps our patients coming back. Cheap Botox can be a gamble. That is why it is important to see our qualified medical professionals for injectables & fillers.

Because our Botox is pure, that means you may pay less for the number of units needed. Meanwhile, some beauty clinics may dilute the Botox excessively in order to charge less "per unit", but require more units to achieve a comparable result. Our Botox gives superior results that will last a long time.
