Botox in St. Paul

The number of injections depends on the severity of lines and the location. For example, crow’s feet might take 3 injections near the side of each eye, whereas frown lines or forehead lines require 5 injections. Your treatment goals dictate the number of Botox units. 

Since Botox is priced by the unit and each vial contains a specific number of units, your provider can give you the cost estimate after your initial consultation. 

You may have noticed we mention some non-wrinkle-related benefits of Botox. Other uses include treating jaw clenching and TMJ (temporomandibular joint dysfunction). Botox can help to relax the muscles causing these issues, thereby relieving pain.

Botox also helps to improve hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating. This neurotoxin effectively blocks nerve signals that make you sweat, and it can be applied to the armpits or feet.

There are only a few things that would stop you from being a candidate for Botox in St. Paul:

• You have allergies to the botulinum toxin or to the metal in the needles.
• You’re an expecting or breastfeeding mother.

Almost anyone can benefit, but talking to our specialists will help you decide if Botox is truly right for your specific goals.
