We want your Botox treatment to be as simple and quick as possible for you.

Physicians and other healthcare providers have been safely using this procedure to improve aesthetics as well as medical conditions for many years.
Anyone who is healthy and has facial wrinkles or a medical condition is a great candidate for Botox and this treatment. Both men and women of a range of ages can be treated with Botox. At your first visit, our nurse practitioner at TBH Medical in Colorado Springs will review your medical history, medications, and aesthetic goals to discuss whether Botox is clinically indicated for your individual circumstances.
A Botox treatment at TBH Medical takes 15 to 30 minutes to complete. Our nurse practitioner will inject Botox using a very small needle into the targeted facial muscles. Most patients do not experience discomfort with this treatment, and the sensation is typically a brief pinching feeling. You can return to your daily activities immediately after treatment.
You will notice the effect of your Botox within 3 to 5 days, and the full effect will be evident after 2 weeks. Your skin will appear smoother and refreshed while maintaining a natural look. Results from your Botox typically last three to four months. As your facial muscles begin to regain function, the previously treated lines will reappear, and you will be ready for another treatment to maintain smooth skin.
Botox is an FDA-approved therapy, and numerous safety studies have confirmed that it is very safe to use. Mild side effects that can sometimes occur with the treatment include:
However, these side effects typically fade quickly. When an expert nurse practitioner at a direct primary care practice like TBH performs this procedure, you can feel confident that you are receiving the highest level of clinical safety and sterility.
The price for Botox varies depending on the number of units required to achieve the desired result. Pricing is discussed with you at your first visit, and we strive to provide transparency regarding the financial aspects of this treatment. While Botox for cosmetic reasons is not eligible for insurance reimbursement, Botox used to treat medical disorders may be covered. If you are interested in pricing information for Botox, please talk to the nurse practitioner during your first visit to get pricing details.
After your Botox treatment, please make sure you stay upright for 4 hours and do not rub or massage the area to reduce the risk of Botox spreading. For 24 hours, also make sure not to participate in strenuous physical activity or use any sauna or alcohol. By following these simple aftercare guidelines, you will be on the road to optimal Botox results.
