BOTOX
WRINKLES • LINES • AND MORE
OVERVIEW
STARTING AT $10/UNIT
Botox treatments have long been a popular choice for clients looking to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, especially on the forehead, between the brows, and around the eyes. Botox gently relaxes facial muscles to smooth dynamic expression lines and help prevent new ones from forming.
At True Balance, we also recommend Botox for overall facial balancing. We target muscle groups like the masseters, neck bands, and upper lip, to help reduce tension or bulk and to restore balance and symmetry to the face.
This overall softening effect can help you look more rested, refreshed, youthful, and symmetrically balanced.

BOTOX COSMETIC® is intended to enhance your look, not change it—you can still smile, frown and be expressive.
Your expressions will be softened and restricted to prevent dynamic line formation.

The side effects can include tenderness at the site of the injection or bruising. Most patients do not experience negative side effects and can return to their regular activities immediately.

Botox is measured in units, and the number of units required can differ from person to person. The amount of Botox needed varies depending on the treatment area, the severity of the wrinkles, and your individual facial anatomy.
We recommend booking a consultation where your Nurse Injector can assess your needs and discuss a personalized treatment plan.
