Botox in Fort Lauderdale

At Galt Dermatology & Concierge Medicine, we believe you should know exactly what you’re paying before you sit in the chair. Our Botox treatments start at $400, which includes 20 units. Additional units are $13 each, so your treatment scales to your goals with no surprises.

Whether you’re softening forehead lines, frown lines, or crow’s feet, Dr. Villacorta tailors every treatment to your anatomy and the results you want. Most patients see results within a few days, lasting three to four months.

Botox works to relax the muscles by blocking the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, specifically on the SNAP25 protein on the neuromuscular junction. When the signal to the muscle is blocked, the facial muscles are relaxed and don’t activate. This prevents the formation of fine lines and wrinkles of expression. It’s important to note that the nerves that cause sensation are not affected, and you do not feel numb with treatment.

If you’re wondering whether you’re a candidate for Botox, consider if you’re seeking solutions for any of the following:

• Dynamic wrinkle reduction
• Wrinkle prevention
• Brow lift
• Correct a “gummy” smile
• Excessive sweat (hyperhidrosis) reduction
• Migraine relief
• Jawline softening
• Neckband minimization

If any of these points resonate with your aesthetic goals and concerns, Botox could be a suitable non-surgical rejuvenation option. It’s always recommended to consult with a qualified professional to discuss your specific needs and suitability for Botox.

Botox injections are typically not considered painful. Most patients describe the sensation as a mild pinch, similar to a bug bite. While many practices opt for a tuberculin needle, at Galt Dermatology & Concierge Medicine we use ultra-fine needles specifically designed to minimize discomfort and bleeding. Following the procedure, we’ll provide an ice pack for you to apply to your face, helping to alleviate any mild swelling or discomfort that may occur.
