Dr. Imran Dar, M.D. is a certified provider of Botox® and filler injections. We currently offer the following injections in our Houston office.

  • Juvederm ®
  • Juvederm Ultra ®
  • Restylane ®

Botox® can be used to reduce lines and wrinkles on the forehead, crows feet around the eyes, as well as other areas. Botox® cosmetic works by weakening muscles that cause facial expressions. Botox® is administered in one visit and is a very simple procedure. Results generally last 3 months and after more applications results typically last longer. With continued use the muscles begin to relax more.

Juvederm® is a safe and natural based cosmetic dermal filler that restores volume and fullness to the skin to correct facial wrinkles and folds like the nasiolabial folds. Depending on the area treated, results may last up to one year.

Restylane ® The Restylane family of products includes Restylane, Restylane-L, Perlane, and Perlane-L. These products can be used to add volume and fullness to the skin to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as the lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth (nasolabial folds). Restylane andRestylane-L may also be used for lip enhancement in patients over 21 years.

Our office is currently offering specials on all 3 products.

BOTOX® Treatment FAQs

What is BOTOX®?

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a highly purified muscle toxin, isolated from a certain strain of bacteria. The toxin blocks the chemical signal between the muscle and the nerve, leading to temporary paralysis of the muscle. The paralysis occurs over 1 to 5 days and peaks in two to four weeks. Results last from three to six months. The effect gradually wears off, allowing the regular muscle function to return. In the case of those with TMJ disorders or jaw tension it is irregular muscle function that returns and the pain and discomfort associated with those conditions.

What are the risks of BOTOX injections?

The most common side effects are headache, respiratory infection, flu-like syndrome, temporary eyelid droop, and nausea.
Less frequently occurring, statistically less than 3%, adverse reactions include pain in the face, injection site redness, and muscle weakness. These events are thought to be associated with the injection and occurred within the first week.
BOTOX® cannot be used if there is an infection at the proposed injection site(s) or in individuals with known hypersensitivity (allergy) to any ingredient in the formulation (i.e. the milk protein Casein).

How much does BOTOX cost?

Injections can range from several hundred to several thousand dollars. This is dependent on the number of areas that are injected. To maintain the effect, injections need to be repeated, at additional cost.

Do the BOTOX injections hurt?

The administration of BOTOX® Cosmetic is simple, takes only about 10 minutes and is minimally invasive. You will find the injection is associated with little discomfort.

Is BOTOX really a toxin?

Yes, but it is administered in safe, minuscule amounts. BOTOX® has been used medically for the past 25 years for treatment of medical conditions that require the relaxation of muscles and it was found to have a secondary effect of erasing wrinkles. It is now FDA approved for cosmetic use.

How often will I need BOTOX injections?

Most people will want to repeat the Botox injection procedure every 4 to 6 months when muscle function returns.

How long do the results last?

The effects of BOTOX® usually lasts 4-6 months.

What is the recovery time after treatment?

Since the procedure is non-surgical, no recovery time is needed; patients can return to work or other activities immediately.

Other than wrinkles, what else is BOTOX an effective treatment for?

TMJ
TMD
Migraines
Headaches
