Botox (a neuromodulator, a medicine that relaxes chosen muscles for a few months) is used to soften lines from frowning, squinting and raising your brows. We plan the dose around your face, your goals and how you responded to past treatment. Our aim is a natural look that keeps your expressions. Patients come to us from Highlands, Sapphire, Glenville, Franklin, Brevard and Sylva.
Botox is a versatile treatment that can address a wide range of cosmetic and medical concerns.
During your consultation, we will evaluate your concerns and create a customised treatment plan based on your facial anatomy, muscle movement, and desired outcome.
Botox is an FDA-approved neuromodulator that temporarily relaxes targeted facial muscles responsible for creating dynamic wrinkles. These wrinkles develop over time from repeated facial expressions such as smiling, frowning, squinting, and raising your eyebrows.
By reducing muscle activity in specific areas, Botox helps smooth existing lines and can slow the development of deeper wrinkles. Treatments are quick, minimally invasive, and require little to no downtime, making Botox one of the most sought-after aesthetic treatments worldwide.
Like any injection, Botox carries risks and side effects, and it is not right for everyone. Before you decide, Dr. Dormer reviews your medical history. She explains the risks, the reasons you may not be suitable, the downtime and the aftercare.
We do not publish a fixed Botox price, because the cost depends on you. It changes with the areas treated, the amount of product you need and how often you return. Dr. Dormer discusses the cost with you at your consultation, along with the expected outcome, risks and downtime.
Units are not interchangeable between Botox, Dysport, Xeomin and Daxxify. A lower price per unit does not always mean a lower total cost. That is why we compare products by your plan, not by the unit price. Call (828) 998-2798 to book a consultation.
The right product depends on your anatomy, your goals and how you responded before. We offer all four neuromodulators. They differ in formulation, how far they spread, how quickly they start and how long they last. A natural look depends more on planning and injection technique than on the brand.
If you have had Botox elsewhere and want to try another product, bring your past treatment details. Dr. Dormer uses them to choose the product and dose. Compare the options on our Dysport treatment page, our Xeomin treatment page and our neuromodulators overview.
Botox relaxes targeted facial muscles to soften forehead lines, frown lines, and crow's feet, creating a smoother and more refreshed appearance.
Regular treatment relaxes the muscles behind expression lines. Some patients use it to slow the deepening of these lines. Results vary from person to person.
When customised to your facial anatomy, Botox enhances your appearance without making you look frozen or overdone
Most Botox appointments take less than 30 minutes, and patients can typically return to their normal activities shortly after treatment.
Individual results vary. The duration and appearance of results depend on factors including the treatment area, dose, muscle activity, individual response and treatment technique. A consultation is recommended to determine the most appropriate treatment approach.
We assess your facial structure, muscle activity, medical history, and aesthetic concerns to develop a personalised treatment plan.
No two faces are alike. Injection points and dosing are carefully selected based on your unique anatomy and desired results.
Botox is administered using a fine needle and advanced injection techniques designed for accuracy, comfort, and natural-looking outcomes.
After treatment, you'll receive detailed aftercare instructions to help optimise your results. Most patients can return to their normal daily activities immediately.
