Botox Treatments

Yes, Botox is 100% Natural, Clean & Safe

There is a lot of misinformation surrounding Botox, with myths such as Botox injections causing individuals to become expressionless or developing a “frozen face.” Botox is a clean and safe treatment method that we use here at The Epigenetics Healing Center for both cosmetic and medical-related concerns. The use of Botox has been well-established to be a low-risk and safe form of care both for short and long-term use. The Botulinum toxin is made by Clostridium botulinum and sometimes Clostridium butyricum and Clostridium baratii bacteria which is commonly found in low-acid preserved foods, as well as being a naturally occurring toxin in our own intestines. As a natural treatment option, Botox affords individuals the opportunity to avoid the use of harmful medications or surgical procedures for a number of health and beauty matters.

Reasons why Botox is safe for use:

• Botulinum toxin is found in the body
• Botox injections are delivered in small, medically approved doses
• Botox use is approved by the FDA

Here at The Epigenetics Healing Center, we offer Botox treatments to help address a variety of cosmetic and minor medical concerns. Some of the areas we are able to use Botox treatment for include:

• Frown lines
• Forehead wrinkles
• Wrinkles around the eyes (Crow’s feet)
• Cervical dystonia (neck spasms)
• Lazy eye
• Muscle contractures
• Hyperhidrosis
• Chronic migraines
• Eye twitching
• TMJ/TMD

A nurse practitioner will have the individual either sit or lie down depending on where the injection site is located. The medical professional will then use a thin needle to inject tiny amounts of botulinum toxin into your muscles. As mentioned, a light pinching feeling may be felt, but no mild or moderate pain is associated with Botox treatment. For those who remain apprehensive toward injections of any kind, not to worry. We use a numbing cream to dull any potential noticeable pain. Here at The Epigenetics Healing Center, our Nurse Practitioner has over 25+ years of experience with Botox injections — for both cosmetic and medical purposes.

Depending on the visit and cosmetic concern, treatment may only take 15 minutes in the office! Our experienced team will be able to best recommend future Botox treatment frequency and plans for you and your needs.

Patients receiving Botox treatment only experience mild, if any, side effects. However, some associated risks include pain, swelling, or bruising at the injection site, headache or flu-like symptoms, and eye dryness or excessive tearing. Due to the safe nature of Botox Treatments, these risks are rare.
