Mount Sopris Beauty Experts

Dr. Butterfield offers BOTOX to men and women throughout the greater Aspen, Basalt, and Glenwood Springs, CO area who wish to diminishes facial wrinkles and attain an enhanced facial glow. BOTOX is a nonsurgical, facial rejuvenation product that temporarily relaxes the muscles that reside under the skin by blocking the nerve impulses.

Dr. Butterfield works with patients to help them create a BOTOX plan that eliminates forehead lines, as well as diminishes the wrinkles between the eyebrows, Crow’s feet and laugh lines.

Pride in understanding that changing how you look, can change how you feel.

BOTOX is administered during an in-office appointment that typically takes about 30 minutes. The depth, length, quantity and location of wrinkles varies for each patient. Therefore, the injection treatment, including the dosage and injection location, is tailored during the procedure. Patients will be marked for the specific areas on the face that are going to be treated. The injection is given through a syringe to localized areas on the face. Patients will feel a small prick as the needle inserts through the skin, but any pain or discomfort is controlled with a cold compress.

Immediately following a series of BOTOX injections, there will be some mild swelling and redness at the injection site. This will subside a few hours after the procedure. Patients can resume their normal activities immediately, but exercise should be avoided for a few hours. It is also recommended that patients keep their heads elevated for the first 8-10 hours. Results following BOTOX will become apparent within 4-7 days. About a week after treatment, patients will notice an inability to fully move portions of their forehead. With limited movement, wrinkles will cease to appear. The result is skin that appears smooth and soft.

BOTOX treatment costs will vary depending on how much of the medication is used (the number of syringes). Most practices charge $350 for one full syringe of BOTOX. A treatment session typically takes 1-3 syringes. Therefore, the cost can range between $350-$700 per session.
