Anti-wrinkle Facial Injections in O'Fallon, MO

What are facial injections?

Our doctors use state-of-the-art anti-wrinkle facial treatment to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. The medication is derived from a substance called incobotulinumtoxinA and is FDA-approved and specially formulated to reduce the appearance of frown lines. It works by blocking the signals from your nerves to your facial muscles, preventing the muscles from tightening up.

As a result, those stubborn frown lines around your brow and mouth begin to soften within just a few days. After 14 days, you will look more relaxed and refreshed without impeding your ability to laugh or smile naturally. You will still be able to fully express yourself, but never have to worry about frown lines again!

How do facial injections work?

Your anti-wrinkle treatment will take only a few moments at our office and doesn't require anesthesia. Our doctor will inject medication into specific muscles of your face, specifically around your eyes, along your forehead, and at the corners of your mouth. It generally takes 3-7 days to take full effect and results typically last 3-4 months.

Do facial injections hurt?

Facial injections are a non-invasive, non-surgical procedure that can be completed without the need for an anesthetic. You may experience a slight pinch, but patient discomfort is minimal. If you experience anxiety about any potential discomfort during your procedure, be sure to discuss your concerns with your doctor. Our team is always here to answer your questions and help you understand your treatment in full.

Are facial injections safe?

Yes, but like any procedure, you may experience side effects. Headache is the most common side effect, but other possible effects may include:
- Dry mouth
- Discomfort at or around the injection site
- Muscle weakness
- Tiredness or fatigue
