How Botox® Helps With Aging Skin

Think about how many times you’ve smiled, laughed, frowned, or squinted today. These everyday expressions, while part of what makes us human, gradually etch grooves into our skin. The forehead bears horizontal lines from surprise and concern, while the area between our brows develops vertical “11” lines from concentration. Meanwhile, laugh lines fan out from our eyes, telling the story of our emotions over time.

Botox® works by targeting the root cause of these expression-related wrinkles. This FDA-approved injectable contains a purified protein that temporarily quiets overactive facial muscles. When these muscles can’t contract as forcefully, the skin above them gets a chance to recover and smooth out, creating a more youthful appearance.

What makes Botox® particularly appealing is its ability to erase years from your face during a brief lunch-hour appointment, with no scalpels or recovery rooms involved.

Am I a Good Candidate for Botox®?

Botox® works best for people who:

Notice lines when making facial expressions
Want to prevent deeper wrinkles from developing
Seek dramatic results without surgical risks
Need a treatment that fits into a busy lifestyle
Are in good physical health
Are not expecting or nursing a baby

Some individuals should avoid Botox®, including those with certain neurological conditions, known sensitivities to the medication, or active skin infections where injections would be placed.

Benefits of Botox®

Botox® stands out among cosmetic treatments for its impressive track record and user-friendly experience. Most patients notice their skin beginning to smooth within the first week, with the full effect becoming apparent by day 14. The injection process itself takes less time than a typical coffee break, involves only minor discomfort, and requires zero time away from work or social activities.

Dr. Mariam Awada
Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

“I have had many procedures done here including a breast augmentation, severe septorhinoplasty, lipo, Botox, lip filler, a laser facial and a hydrafacial and I refuse to go anywhere else- especially for invasive, cosmetic procedures that require trust. Dr. Awada and her entire staff help to make each and every procedure as comfortable as possible and have provided some phenomenal results. I can’t recommend them enough. They are professional, genuine and I always leave very happy. My breast augmentation turned out better than I could have ever hoped for. Dr. Awada listened to everything I stated I wanted and achieved it better than I thought was possible (I was very flat chested with a wide frame and she was able to get me to a D cup while maintaining a natural look with natural-looking cleavage). Same thing for my septorhinoplasty- I had a severely deviated septum and also hated the way my nose looked. It ended up being a far more difficult procedure than we anticipated and took 9 hours total, but I am so beyond happy with my new nose! Most importantly, I can breathe properly out of it, but she again achieved the exact look I was going for. She really listens to what you want instead of trying to force her own opinions onto you, however, she does provide good suggestions as well. I can’t rave enough about Dr. Awada, Audrey, and Holly (just to name a few) and will be a loyal patient for any future wants/needs. Thank you!”

Why Choose Dr. Mariam Awada?

Dr. Awada approaches each Botox® treatment as both a medical procedure and an artistic endeavor. Her sophisticated understanding of facial proportions allows her to strategically place each injection for maximum wrinkle reduction while preserving the character and expressiveness that make you uniquely you.

Patients from Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills, Troy, Rochester Hills, and Farmington Hills appreciate Dr. Awada’s gentle injection technique and honest communication style. She believes informed patients make the best decisions, so she takes time to explain every step of the process.

What to Expect

The Consultation

During your first meeting, Dr. Awada will study your facial movements and discuss which areas bother you most. She’ll explain exactly how Botox® can address your concerns and help you understand what kind of results are realistic for your unique situation.

The Procedure

When you’re ready to proceed, you’ll return to our Southfield office for your first Botox® session. Using targeted injections, Dr. Awada administers precise amounts of Botox® into the muscles responsible for your unwanted lines. The entire process usually wraps up in under half an hour, and you’re free to head back to your regular activities right away.

Recovery & Results

There’s virtually no recovery period after Botox®. You might notice some minor redness or tiny bumps at the injection sites, but these typically fade within an hour or two. Some patients experience light bruising that can easily be covered with makeup.

Your skin will start looking smoother within a few days, with the best results visible after about two weeks. Most people enjoy their refreshed appearance for up to four months before scheduling their next session.

Cost of Botox® in Detroit

The price of Botox® therapy varies based on how many areas you want to address and how many units you’ll need for optimal results. Dr. Awada provides detailed cost information during your consultation, and Michigan Cosmetic Surgery offers several financing options to help make your aesthetic goals more attainable.

Frequently Asked Questions about Arm Lifts

Will I still be able to make facial expressions?

Definitely. Botox® is not supposed to paralyze the muscles completely. You should still have some movement in the areas that were treated, enough so that normal expressions will be maintained.

Will my wrinkles get worse if I stop getting Botox®?

No, your wrinkles will simply return to their pre-treatment state as the Botox® wears off naturally. Some patients actually notice their lines are less severe than before because the muscles have been “trained” to move less during the treatment period.
