BOTOX® in Nashville, TN

To diminish the effects of aging and to prevent lines and wrinkles from forming on the forehead and around the eyes, Wang Vision Institute in Nashville, TN is proud to offer BOTOX to local patients.

This nonsurgical treatment provides outstanding results and is extremely popular among both men and women. BOTOX can make a big enhancement to facial wrinkles, which are made from expressive movement with the muscles contracting on the forehead and around the eyes. The lines may or may not disappear when the face is relaxed. BOTOX is a purified strain of botulinum toxin (type A) that temporarily blocks the movements of the underlying tissue and muscle. To soften these lines and wrinkles, BOTOX is injected to relax and smooth the skin. BOTOX injections are placed by one of our skilled medical experts between the brows, around the eyes, and along the forehead.

BOTOX injections are great for individuals who hope to diminish and soften the visible look of lines and wrinkles throughout the upper face. This product can also be used as a preventive treatment, even if you do not show signs of aging. It's a terrific, minimally invasive solution for those who are bothered by obvious forehead wrinkles, noticeable furrows between the brow, or for lines that form around the eyes. Patients who are curious about our practice's offerings can ask any of our skilled team members about BOTOX and its aesthetic and functional advantages.

BOTOX injections are completed in about 10 – 15 minutes at Wang Vision Institute. You will be asked to make different expressions using your upper face, such as squinting, frowning, etc., to help us to see where the injections are to be placed. The skin will be prepared, and BOTOX will be injected with a fine needle, followed by a cool compress to help reduce swelling, bruising, and discomfort. You may also request a numbing cream to help make the procedure more comfortable, but this is typically unnecessary.

After the injection, you may resume your daily activities, but strenuous activities, like exercise, should be postponed for at least 24 hours. You will be advised to sleep with your head propped up for the first night and to not touch your face, which can accidentally spread the treatment to other areas. The treated sections of the face can become red, bruised, or swollen for a couple of days, but you will not have any serious or long-lasting side effects. In many cases, it can take about one week before the final results of BOTOX become visible. The results generally last 3 – 4 months. You can speak to your injector about how often to schedule touch-up appointments at Wang Vision Institute to maintain your results.

Along with state-of-the-art procedures to enhance your vision and total eye health, our team at Wang Vision Institute also provides aesthetic solutions for patients seeking younger-looking eyes with improved functionality. If you're curious about the benefits of nonsurgical, injectable BOTOX, ask a member of our Nashville, TN team during your appointment and find out if this treatment is a good option for you.
