Neurotoxin
Precision wrinkle treatment. A clear, evidence-aware guide to candidacy, treatment, recovery, limitations and next steps.
Precision With Purpose
Botox® Cosmetic is never treated as a preset pattern at Identity Aesthetics. Your facial movement, muscle strength, anatomy and goals guide thoughtful placement and conservative dosing designed to soften expression lines while preserving a natural-looking result.
Anatomy first · Individualized dosing · Natural movement
The Short Answer
Botox® Cosmetic is a prescription botulinum toxin type A treatment used to temporarily reduce muscle activity that contributes to expression lines. Identity Aesthetics selects dose and placement according to your anatomy, movement and desired degree of softness—not a one-size-fits-all pattern.
Candidacy
Adults seeking temporary improvement in expression lines may be considered after an in-person facial assessment. A good candidate understands that results are temporary, asymmetry is possible, and the safest dose depends on muscle strength, anatomy, prior response and treatment goals.
Treatment may be deferred for pregnancy or breastfeeding, active infection at an injection site, known allergy to an ingredient, certain neuromuscular disorders, or symptoms that require medical evaluation. Tell the provider about all medications, supplements, prior toxin products and any swallowing or breathing problems.

Your Visit
Your provider reviews health history, prior toxin use, facial movement and goals.
Expression patterns are mapped and the skin is cleansed. Small measured injections are placed with a fine needle.
You receive individualized aftercare and a timing window for follow-up. Do not judge symmetry before the product has had time to settle.
Informed Choice
Expected effects can include temporary redness, tenderness, bruising, swelling or asymmetry. Rare but serious botulinum-toxin risks include swallowing, speaking or breathing difficulty and spread of toxin effect. Product units are not interchangeable. Treatment cannot be guaranteed and must follow an individualized examination.
Clinical Judgment
Small differences in depth, angle, dose and muscle selection change the outcome. An experienced medical injector can distinguish dynamic lines from volume loss, protect brow and eyelid function, plan around asymmetry and recognize complications early.
Access & Cost
Treatment is in-office only. Telehealth can answer general questions, but facial examination, consent and injections occur at an Identity Aesthetics location.
Pricing: $15 per unit. Final cost depends on the number of units selected after assessment. Always ask about current promotions and volume savings.
Common Questions
The goal can be subtle softening with natural movement. Your desired finish, anatomy and dose are discussed before treatment; no injector can promise an exact appearance.
Sometimes, but each product has its own formulation and labeled dosing. Units are not interchangeable, so the provider plans a new dose rather than using a simple conversion.
Contact the practice promptly for concerning weakness, eyelid or brow changes, severe headache, vision changes or any unexpected symptom. Seek emergency care for trouble breathing, swallowing or speaking.
