BOTOX® Cosmetic
When you look in the mirror, do you notice frown lines, crow’s feet, or other signs of aging? BOTOX® Cosmetic can minimize fine lines and wrinkles to completely rejuvenate your appearance. Find out how Dr. Suzanne Yee can reduce signs of aging in just one visit to our Little Rock, AR, practice.
What is BOTOX Cosmetic?
BOTOX is a specialized form of botulinum toxin that is injected into targeted facial muscles to temporarily prevent their contractions. Preventing these facial muscle contractions improves the look of wrinkles and fine lines for about three to six months before the body breaks down the botulinum toxin. Therefore, periodic injections are required to maintain your results, and some studies show that repeated use of BOTOX may have a cumulative effect in terms of wrinkle reduction.
Revitalize Your Skin
The Benefits of BOTOX
Fast Procedure
The entire BOTOX procedure takes less than 20 minutes, making it easy to touch up your skin in between running errands throughout your day.
Minimal Recovery
BOTOX is one of our top “lunchtime cosmetic procedures.” You can return to work and non-strenuous activity immediately after treatment.
Quick Results
BOTOX results appear in just 24 to 48 hours after your appointment. Full results are visible in 30 days and last about three to six months.
Remove Wrinkles Without Surgery
To begin your appointment at our practice, we will examine the treatment area and determine where the injections should be placed to preserve your facial expressions and reduce wrinkles. Dr. Yee has a comprehensive understanding of the anatomy of the face, and knows precisely where to inject the solution to achieve natural-looking, optimal results.
We will also determine how much BOTOX is needed to achieve good results. The total number of injections you receive will depend on the size of the treatment area and your aesthetic goals. Next, we will administer the injections. They are not painful, but you may experience a slight pinch and minimal discomfort at the injection site.

OTHER USES OF BOTOX
Beyond aesthetic fixes, BOTOX has been used to help improve medical conditions by relaxing individual muscles throughout the body.
1
Excessive Sweating
Patients who struggle with excessive sweating can receive BOTOX injections in areas that experience more sweating than normal. BOTOX treatment temporarily blocks nerve impulses to the injected areas, which subsequently reduces sweating and leaves you feeling dry and confident.
2
Facial Reshaping
BOTOX Cosmetic can be injected to improve facial definition. One method that is gaining popularity is jaw reduction. By relaxing the chewing muscles, Dr. Yee can effectively slim the face. The injectable can also be used to create a pleasing v-shape, making the face appear more youthful.
3
Overactive Bladder
While BOTOX Cosmetic is used to correct aesthetic concerns such as wrinkles, BOTOX is also FDA-approved for improving 12 different medical conditions, including controlling an overactive bladder. Dr. Yee can discuss your health concerns with you and refer you to a urologist for treatment of an overactive bladder.
Candidates For BOTOX
Good Health
Before starting any cosmetic treatment, you should be in good physical health. For injections, it’s important your skin at the injection site is healthy to prevent infection and complications.
Of Age
The FDA requires patients to be at least 18 years old to receive BOTOX injections. More young adults are choosing to start BOTOX to prevent the appearance of wrinkles in the future.
Realistic Expectations
BOTOX injections will not change the structure of your face like some cosmetic surgery procedures can. It’s also temporary, lasting about three to six months. Patients should keep these facts in mind when coming into our office for BOTOX.
Not Pregnant or Breastfeeding
The FDA considers BOTOX to be a Category C drug during pregnancy. This means not enough research has been done to prove or disprove if BOTOX is harmful when used during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
Receive BOTOX From a Trained Doctor
When it comes to BOTOX, you get what you pay for. When you receive BOTOX at our Little Rock clinic, you are treated with care by a team highly trained by a triple-board certified doctor who understands your facial anatomy inside and out. Our team knows exactly where to inject the product to reach your desired results.
Side effects can happen with BOTOX when the product isn’t injected properly. Poor injections can result in the product traveling from the intended injection site, such as the forehead, into other features, such as the eyelids, causing a drooping appearance. Dr. Yee’s team can properly administer the product to prevent this from happening.
A Top BOTOX Provider
Dr. Yee has received Allergan Black Diamond Status, which means that she is in the top 2 percent of Allergan injectors in the United States. Dr. Yee has also been a BOTOX Cosmetic trainer for Allergan since 2002. She and our staff are fully licensed, and Dr. Yee personally trains each team member to ensure that we provide all patients with the high-quality care that they deserve.
Types of Botulinum Toxin
Products We Offer
BOTOX Cosmetic isn’t the only form of botulinum toxin we have at our Little Rock office. We also offer Dysport and Xeomin to target your specific aesthetic concerns. All botulinum toxin injectable procedures are minimally invasive, quick, and prevent muscle contractions to smooth wrinkles and fine lines across the face.
Here are the differences between the three botulinum toxin products we offer:
| BOTOX Cosmetic | Dysport | Xeomin | |
| FDA Approval Date | 2002 | 2009 | 2010 |
| Best Cosmetic Uses | Deeper, smaller wrinkles (lip lines, crow’s feet, etc.) | Large areas of the face (spreads quickly and evenly). | Wrinkles on forehead and near eyes and eyebrows. |
| Results Visible In | 24-48 hours | 2-3 days | 3-4 days |
BOTOX FAQs
BOTOX typically costs $14 per unit at our Little Rock practice. However, we run monthly specials so patients can undergo treatment at a reduced price. In addition, we have a loyalty program that allows you to earn points and save on certain Allergan products like BOTOX, JUVÉDERM®, and Latisse®.
There are dozens of muscles in the face; they allow you to make a nearly limitless range of expressions and facial movements. Over time, repeated contractions can crease and line the face. More specifically, when you frown, squint, and smile, the tissue underneath the forehead and eyes contract, causing your skin to furrow and wrinkle.
Like Xeomin® and Dysport®, BOTOX Cosmetic contains botulinum toxin, which temporarily paralyzes the muscles that cause wrinkles. By reducing or eliminating the repeated contractions that cause crow’s feet and frown lines, this cosmetic treatment can produce smoother, firmer-looking skin.
BOTOX Cosmetic injections are safe, simple, and effective. The treatment requires no downtime and produces predictable results. In fact, many of our patients visit our office over their lunch break or while running errands.
In the hands of a trained professional, the side effects of botulinum toxin injectables are typically minimal and subside within a few days. Patients may experience slight discomfort, sensitivity, swelling, or bruising. Occasionally, the product can travel to unintended areas, resulting in drooping features, such as the eyelids.
Results are not immediately apparent, but you can expect to see optimal results three to four days following treatment. The full outcome is usually fully visible two weeks after the injection appointment. Once the injections are fully effective, BOTOX patients can enjoy a more youthful and alert appearance.
Your cosmetic results should last anywhere from three to six months. Treatment may be repeated to achieve and maintain your desired results.
We Also Offer Dermal Fillers
If you’re looking to increase volume in sunken or thin facial features, such as the lips or cheeks, dermal fillers can give you a fuller appearance. Dermal fillers can also fill in wrinkles and lines to enhance the effects of botulinum toxins. We offer several types of dermal fillers at our Little Rock, AR, office depending on your cosmetic goals, including:
