BOTOX® Cosmetic
In Fort Worth, Texas, BOTOX Cosmetic is the go-to anti-wrinkle treatment, just as it is worldwide. Women and men concerned about forehead wrinkles, crow’s feet, and the “worry lines” that develop between the eyes can soften those lines with these quick injections. Dr. Steven Camp, as a board-certified plastic surgeon and Allergan injectables trainer, and Angela Negron, Nurse Practitioner, our licensed nurse injector, understand facial anatomy and the precision required for BOTOX to give our patients from Mansfield, Arlington, and other nearby areas a more youthful appearance that still looks natural.

How Does BOTOX Work?
BOTOX is a type of neuromodulator that works by blocking nerve signals where it’s administered, preventing the muscle contractions that cause certain types of wrinkles to form such as crow’s feet around the eyes. When it is not being constantly squeezed and creased, the skin gradually smooths out allowing the wrinkles to fade away.
BOTOX, Dermal Fillers, or Both?
People often lump BOTOX in with dermal fillers and it’s easy to see why. These products are both injectable wrinkle smoothers, but the similarities end there.
- BOTOX is indicated for wrinkles related to movement—specifically crow’s feet and forehead lines. BOTOX only affects the muscles exactly where it’s injected, so you’ll be able to make your normal range of expressions after treatment.
- Dermal fillers fill in lines and wrinkles from within the skin with a soft gel that feels like natural tissue—often hyaluronic acid-based.
Both products offer temporary (although quite long-lasting) results and don’t typically require any downtime. Because BOTOX and fillers provide complementary results, many people benefit from having these treatments performed together for a complete, nonsurgical facial rejuvenation.
BOTOX Alternative Uses
BOTOX can provide a variety of other improvements, including:
- Jawline slimming (masseter reduction)
- Gummy smile treatment
- BOTOX lip flip (smile lift)
- Smoothing out lines around the lips (lipstick lines)
- Correcting neck bands

What Happens During a BOTOX Treatment?
BOTOX injections aren’t one-size-fits-all procedures. Even though it’s a nonsurgical treatment, Dr. Camp or our nurse injector takes the time needed to carefully evaluate your skin tone and the facial muscle and tissue that support the skin. This helps determine if you’re a good candidate for injectable treatments such as BOTOX and dermal fillers.
Our nurse injector or Dr. Camp asks about your cosmetic concerns and the kind of results you are hoping to see after getting BOTOX. This type of honest discussion helps ensure that our staff and our patients agree about the treatment plan and if it’s the right approach to meet their cosmetic goals. They may recommend complementary skincare treatments to enhance the results of your BOTOX injections. Some patients may also benefit from Forever Young BBL™ photorejuvenation treatments, a light-based procedure that addresses sun damage and other skin concerns without downtime.

Are the Injections Painful?
Most patients tolerate BOTOX injections well. We offer several techniques to keep you comfortable during your treatment, from topical anesthesia to a stress ball to squeeze. The procedure is brief, and we’ll have you on your way in about 30 minutes. To help relieve any discomfort or anxiety associated with the injections, we offer the ProNox® nitrous oxide system to allow patients to control the amount of nitrous oxide administered.
How Soon Will I See BOTOX Results?
The time it takes to see the results of BOTOX injections varies from patient to patient, but typically you should notice changes 7 days following the treatment.
We schedule appointments with BOTOX patients about 10 to 14 days after the procedure to observe the results and determine if they need additional injections to meet their goals. We also encourage patients with questions or concerns to contact our practice at any time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is BOTOX safe?
Yes, BOTOX injections are safe when performed by a highly trained and experienced injector. This product contains a purified form of Clostridium botulinum and is safe, effective, and FDA approved for a variety of uses. Millions of people have these treatments each year.
What’s the best age for BOTOX injections?
Because BOTOX is so effective at smoothing away wrinkles, most people start these injections when they are in their 40s and beyond. However, people in their late 20s and early 30s choose BOTOX for “prejuvenation” to stop wrinkles from developing in the first place. Learn more in this blog post.
Can BOTOX prevent new wrinkles from forming?
With consistent use, BOTOX can smooth out existing wrinkles and prevent new ones from forming.
Is there any way to make my results last longer?
Sticking to a consistent treatment schedule will extend the life of your results. The frequency of treatments varies between individuals; we can help you make a plan that fits your unique needs.
Is BOTOX better than dermal fillers?
The best treatment depends on your cosmetic goals and individual needs. If you want to address lines and creases caused by facial muscle contractions, BOTOX is most likely your best choice. If you want to smooth out wrinkles that don’t change with your expressions, fillers can be a good option. Fillers are also an excellent choice for adding or restoring volume to the cheeks, lips, and around the eyes.
Can BOTOX lift your eyebrows?
We can provide a nonsurgical brow lift by placing BOTOX injections above the outer ends of the eyebrows. Results are noticeable, yet subtle and temporary.
