Botox | Natural-Looking Wrinkle Treatment
You live in Plano. You’re busy, active, maybe running between Legacy West and your kid’s game in Frisco. But lately, you catch your reflection and see the lines—the ones between your brows when you concentrate, the crow's feet from years of Texas sunshine and smiling. You want them softer, but you’re terrified of looking “frozen” or fake. We hear that every day. At Viva MedSpa, our approach to Botox, under the supervision of board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Angobaldo, is different. It’s about subtle refinement. We smooth the lines that bother you while keeping every bit of your natural expression.
What is Botox?
Let’s simplify it. Botox is an FDA-approved injectable treatment made from a purified protein.
It works by temporarily relaxing the specific muscles underneath your wrinkles. When those muscles can’t contract as strongly, the overlying skin smooths out. It’s not a filler; it doesn’t add volume.
It’s a precise treatment for dynamic wrinkles—the lines caused by repeated facial expressions like frowning, squinting, or raising your eyebrows.
The goal is a refreshed, natural look that doesn’t shout “I had work done.”
Benefits of Botox Injections
Why do so many people in Collin County choose Botox? The results speak for themselves:
Smooths Existing Lines: It visibly softens forehead lines, frown lines (the “11s”), and crow’s feet around your eyes.
Prevents New Wrinkles: By limiting constant muscle movement, Botox can actually stop mild lines from becoming deep, permanent creases.
Quick & No Downtime: The entire process takes about 15-20 minutes. You can get it done on a lunch break and return to your day immediately.
Natural-Looking Results: When administered by an expert, the result is a rested, relaxed version of you. You’ll still smile, frown, and express yourself fully.
Versatile Uses: Beyond wrinkles, we use it for a subtle brow lift, to soften a gummy smile, slim the jawline, and even treat excessive sweating.
What to Expect During Your Botox Appointment
Nervous about the needle? Most people are. Here’s exactly how we make it comfortable. First, we talk. We’ll examine your facial muscles at rest and in motion to plan your custom treatment. We cleanse your skin and may apply a topical numbing cream if you’d like. Using very fine needles, we make a series of small injections. It feels like tiny, quick pinches. The whole process is over before you know it. You might have minor redness or tiny bumps that fade in minutes. We’ll give you simple aftercare instructions: avoid rubbing the area, skip intense workouts for 24 hours, and stay upright for a few hours. Results begin in 3-5 days, with full effects visible at 2 weeks.
Areas We Can Treat with Botox
Our expertise allows us to treat multiple areas for a balanced, harmonious result:
Upper Face: Forehead lines, Frown lines (glabellar), Crow’s feet
Brow & Eyes: Brow lift for an open, alert look, Bunny lines (on nose)
Mid & Lower Face: Gummy smile, Lip flip for subtle fullness, Chin dimpling (pebbly chin), Jawline slimming (masseter reduction for a less square jaw)
Neck: Platysma bands (vertical neck cords)
Hyperhidrosis: Excessive sweating in underarms, palms, or feet.
How should I prepare for my Botox appointment?
To minimize bruising, we suggest avoiding blood-thinners like aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, and vitamin E for about 5-7 days before (consult your doctor first). Skip alcohol 24 hours prior. Just come with clean skin and a clear idea of what you want to improve.
Will Botox make me look frozen or unnatural?
This is our most common fear. When administered properly, the answer is no. Dr. Angobaldo’s surgical understanding of facial anatomy guides our technique. We use precise doses in strategic muscles to soften lines, not eliminate all movement. The “frozen” look comes from over-treatment or incorrect placement, which we carefully avoid.
Is Botox only for wrinkles?
Not at all. While famous for wrinkles, we use it for many things. We can slim a squared jawline caused by clenching (masseter Botox), lift the corners of the mouth, smooth neck bands, and dramatically reduce severe sweating. We’ll discuss all your options.
Is Botox painful?
Discomfort is minimal. The needles are incredibly fine. Most patients describe it as a slight pinch or prick. If you’re anxious, we can use a numbing cream. The process is so fast that any discomfort is over quickly.
What are the potential side effects of Botox?
Side effects are usually mild and temporary. They can include slight redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites. Rarely, a headache or temporary eyelid droop can occur, which is why choosing an experienced injector under a surgeon’s care is crucial. We review all potential risks during your consultation.
