BOTOX®

» $14/Unit

Elevate by Ochsner Health is proud to offer Botox^® to those looking to improve both moderate to severe frown lines between the brows and crow’s feet lines.

» How does it work?

BOTOX^® Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA) targets one of the underlying causes of frown lines and crow’s feet—the repeated muscle contractions from frowning and squinting over the years. BOTOX® Cosmetic temporarily reduces this muscle activity so you’ll begin to notice a visible smoothing of these lines.

For temporary improvement of moderate to severe crow’s feet, we will inject BOTOX^® Cosmetic into the muscle surrounding the sides of your eyes—called the orbicularis oculi muscles.

» Will I look overdone?

BOTOX^® Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA) is a technique-sensitive treatment. You should not lose the ability to show expression when you are treated by someone who is licensed, trained, and a medical expert in facial anatomy. It is important to talk to your provider about the results you want from treatment. 

» Does the treatment hurt?

Some patients report that being injected with BOTOX^® Cosmetic feels like a pinch. If you are concerned about discomfort, your provider may apply a topical numbing cream before administering your treatment.

» How long does treatment take? 

The treatment takes approximately 10 minutes and requires minimal downtime or recovery—it’s often called a lunchtime procedure.
