What is BOTOX®?
BOTOX® is made from botulinum toxin, a powerful neuromodulator, which is injected into the muscles of the face to stop them from contracting. By relaxing these underlying muscles, BOTOX® can improve the look of moderate to severe forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines, which accumulate over time as a result of smiling and squinting.
BOTOX® injections can be used as a preventative treatment in younger adults. Sometimes referred to as “Baby Botox,” this more conservative approach uses smaller amounts of BOTOX® in targeted areas to help soften early expression lines while maintaining natural facial movement. BOTOX® can also help older adults achieve a more youthful appearance by smoothing wrinkles and folds.
BOTOX® is one of several neuromodulator treatments available at Wilmington Dermatology Center. Our experienced team personalizes each treatment based on your facial anatomy, concerns, and aesthetic goals to help achieve natural-looking results.
BOTOX® for men can help soften forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet while maintaining a natural appearance. Treatment is customized to each patient’s facial anatomy, muscle strength, and aesthetic goals, with the goal of achieving a refreshed look without appearing overtreated.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some of the most common questions we receive about Botox treatment:
Is Botox Right for Me?
How Much Does Botox Cost?
While some practices quote based on an overall area, Wilmington Dermatology Center bases cost on what is actually used. The amount of Botox necessary to get the results you desire will vary by individual, but we do offer touch-ups at no extra charge within two weeks of treatment. However, if you choose to use less units than recommended, there will be an additional charge when the touch-up is performed.
Botox and other brand name toxins are priced based on the number of units used; how much you will require is based on the areas you need treated and the intensity of the treatment required to achieve your aesthetic goals. BOTOX® Cosmetic by Allergan is also eligible for credit towards Allē Rewards, a free program in which you receive credit towards your future purchases— think of it as airline miles for your anti-aging treatments!

Who Can Use Botox?
Does it Matter Who Does My Botox?
We find that many patients are wary of Botox because they’re afraid to look “frozen” or they have seen or experienced unnatural-looking results in the past. We’re also known for fixing other practitioners’ overdone outcomes, to give our patients the results they deserve.
Are There Risks Associated with Botox?
What's the difference between Botox, Dysport, Daxxify, and Jeuveau?
Botox®, Dysport®, Daxxify®, and Jeuveau® are all neuromodulators that work by temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles, but they differ in formulation, onset time, and how long results last. Botox® is the original and most widely studied option, Dysport® tends to spread slightly more and may show results a bit faster, Daxxify® is a newer, longer-lasting formula, and Jeuveau® is often chosen for its smooth, natural-looking results at a competitive price point. During your consultation, our team will help determine which option best fits your goals and treatment area.
