Botox®

Botox® services offered in Frisco, TX

Troublesome facial lines and ridges — like forehead furrows or crow’s feet — appear when the collagen and elastin that keep your skin firm begin to break down, and repetitive muscle movements affect the underlying tissue more. At Stem Cell Therapy Doc in Frisco, Texas, Mahesh Mohan, MD, uses approved botulinum toxin-based treatments to gently relax the specific underlying muscles beneath fine lines so that the skin above can smooth out. To determine if you’re a good candidate, please call the office to schedule a consultation or request an appointment online.

Botox® Q&A

What is botulinum toxin — the active ingredient in Botox?

Collagen and elastin are two key proteins that give your skin its firmness and elasticity. As they decline with age, the skin becomes more prone to fine lines and wrinkles. Additionally, factors such as smoking, dehydration, and frequent facial expressions can exacerbate the appearance of these lines.

Botulinum toxin is the injectable neuromodulator used in products like Botox®, Xeomin®, and Dysport®. These treatments specifically target wrinkles caused by underlying muscle movement (so-called “dynamic” wrinkles). They are not designed to correct deeper folds that arise primarily from sagging skin or volume loss.

What happens after your treatment: when the targeted muscles are relaxed, the overlying skin creases gradually diminish and your complexion appears smoother and more refreshed.

How do botulinum toxin injections work?

When you come in for treatment, Dr. Mohan will carefully mark the injection zones to target the appropriate muscles, ensuring that expression is preserved while smoothing the lines. The neuromodulator works by blocking the nerve signals that tell muscles to contract. As the effect wears off over time, muscle motion gradually returns, and the lines will slowly re-form.

What can Botox treat?

During your consultation at Stem Cell Therapy Doc, you’ll discuss your concerns and goals. If your concerns include common fine facial lines, then neuromodulator treatment may be a suitable option.

These injections are effective at reducing things like:

Crow’s feet (the lines around the outer corners of your eyes)
Forehead lines (horizontal lines on the brow)
Frown lines (vertical or diagonal lines between the brows)
“Smoker’s lines” around the lips
Marionette lines (lines from the mouth corners downwards)
Chin lines/dimpling

In some practices, the treatment may also be used to address other medical and aesthetic concerns (e.g., excessive sweating/hyperhidrosis).

How long do botulinum toxin injections last?

Treatments such as Botox typically last 3-6 months, although this duration can vary based on individual factors, including metabolism, muscle strength/activity, and the treatment area. Once the effect begins to fade, you can schedule another session with Dr. Mohan to maintain your results.

Keep in mind that the aging process continues even with ideal skincare and lifestyle habits, so fine lines may reappear eventually. The neuromodulator doesn’t halt aging entirely, but it does significantly smooth the appearance of dynamic lines.
