Botox & Neuromodulator Injections

Botox and neuromodulator injections to relax targeted facial muscles and reduce forehead lines, frown lines, crow's feet, bunny lines, and neck bands. Alternative neuromodulators including Dysport, Daxxify, and Xeomin are available. Also used for hyperhidrosis management. Results typically last three to six months. Sessions complete in fifteen to twenty minutes with no required downtime. Pricing begins at approximately $12.80 per unit for Botox. Administered by board-certified dermatologists and trained clinical staff at the Westlake Hills Austin location.

Westlake Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery offers a comprehensive neuromodulator program, with Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA) as the primary option alongside Dysport (abobotulinumtoxinA), Daxxify (daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm), and Xeomin (incobotulinumtoxinA) as alternatives suited to individual patient anatomy and preference. All formulations share the same fundamental mechanism: temporary inhibition of acetylcholine release at the neuromuscular junction, preventing the targeted muscle from contracting fully and thereby smoothing the overlying dynamic wrinkle. The breadth of available brands allows the treating clinician to tailor onset speed, diffusion characteristics, and duration to the patient's goals — Daxxify, for instance, has data supporting a longer duration of action than standard Botox, while Dysport spreads over a wider radius at equivalent dosing, which can be an advantage or a consideration depending on the target area. At Westlake Dermatology, common cosmetic indications include horizontal forehead rhytids (frontalis), glabellar frown lines (corrugator and procerus muscles), lateral canthal crow's feet (orbicularis oculi), nasal bunny lines (nasalis), depressor anguli oris for corner-of-mouth lifting, mentalis dimpling, and platysmal neck bands. Medical indications including primary axillary hyperhidrosis are also treated. Botox is confirmed at approximately $12.80 per unit via Yelp Q&A data; a typical cosmetic session covering the forehead and glabella uses 20–40 units, while adding crow's feet increases the count. Onset of muscle relaxation occurs over three to seven days; effects are associated with lasting three to six months before gradual return of muscle activity. Sessions are brief, requiring no anaesthesia beyond optional topical numbing cream, with no significant downtime required.
