Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Botox cost?
At Guilford Dermatology, we offer Botox treatments at a range of $350 to $800, depending on the number of areas treated. Unlike charging per unit, we focus on delivering the right amount for your specific needs, ensuring effective and customized results.
How does Botox work?
Botox works by blocking the signal from the nerves to the muscles, preventing muscle contraction that causes wrinkles. This results in a smoother and more youthful appearance. The nerves responsible for sensation are not affected, so you won’t experience numbness in the treated areas.
Am I a candidate for Botox?
Botox is ideal if you’re seeking to reduce dynamic wrinkles, prevent new lines from forming, or address concerns like a gummy smile, TMJ, or even excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis). Botox can also soften the jawline, lift the brows, and minimize neckbands. Consulting with a professional will help determine if Botox is the right choice for you.
Is Botox painful?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during Botox injections. The sensation is often described as a slight pinch. At Guilford Dermatology, we use ultra-fine needles to reduce discomfort and bleeding, and we provide ice packs post-treatment to help alleviate any swelling or tenderness.
