Dr. Kaado creates amazing results when performing BOTOX injections in Virginia Beach for the treatment of wrinkles and fine lines of the face and a variety of cosmetic issues.

What Are the Aesthetic Uses of BOTOX?
BOTOX Cosmetic is the only FDA-approved treatment to temporarily improve the appearance of crow’s feet and moderate-to-severe frown lines between the brows. This treatment targets repeated muscle contractions from frowning or squinting – one of the main underlying causes of frown lines and crow’s feet.
In addition, there are many “off-label” uses for BOTOX. Dr. Kaado can perform BOTOX injections to:
Prevent lines and wrinkles
BOTOX can stop fine lines and wrinkles before they form by preventing the repeated muscle movements that lead to wrinkling. BOTOX produces a remarkable improvement in forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet for a smoother, younger look.
Lift the brow
When injected precisely into the muscle surrounding the eye, BOTOX can lift the tail of the eyebrow, giving the eyes a more open and alert appearance. It may also help with mild droopiness of the upper eyelids.
Correct a droopy nasal tip
As we grow older, the nose can begin to sag and look more hooked, which can give the entire face a droopy appearance. Injected at the base of the nose between the nostrils, BOTOX can prevent the depressor muscle from pulling the nose downward, elevating the angle of the nasal tip.
Bunny lines correction
If you are one of the many people who have wrinkles appearing around the upper nose, BOTOX can smooth these lines. They are called “bunny lines” as they extend from both sides of the nose, beneath the bridge, reminiscent of bunny whiskers.
Lift the lips
BOTOX injected along the upper lip border can roll the top lip upward and outward slightly, to subtly magnify your pout. Performed alone or in combination with dermal fillers, our Virginia Beach BOTOX treatment can make the lips appear plumper, fuller, and poutier. If you see fine lines appearing around your lips, you don’t have to accept this visible sign of aging skin – our treatments can smooth and firm the area for a younger, fresher facial appearance.
SMOOTH AND FEMINIZE THE NECK
Injections of BOTOX can smooth horizontal wrinkles in the neck and relax vertical cords in the neck that appear with aging when the neck muscles become enlarged. This treatment can also temporarily prevent the neck muscles from pulling the facial features forward. This treatment achieves a more feminine, smooth neck, giving it the nickname “Swan Neck.” Another name for the BOTOX neck treatment is the Nefertiti neck lift. This brings to mind the beautiful neck and jaw definition of this ancient Egyptian queen.
SLIM THE FACE AND TIGHTEN THE JAWLINE
BOTOX injected along the jaw muscles can pull up the skin of the jawline to create a more defined effect. This treatment may be a good option if jowls are beginning to show.
The jaw muscles can grow and become larger due to habitual or subconscious grinding of teeth. The constant motion builds muscle in the same way that bodybuilders create muscles through repetitive exercise. Relaxing the muscles by injecting BOTOX is effective in slimming the jawline to achieve a more refined appearance and lifting the cheeks.
Rejuvenate the décolletage
Lines can develop between the breasts with aging and sun exposure. Injections of BOTOX into the pectoral muscles can help smooth lines of the upper chest.
RELIEVE TEETH GRINDING
If you have the habit of grinding your teeth, also known as TMJ or bruxism, it can overdevelop the jaw muscles and make your jawline wider, not to mention cause headaches, pain, soreness, muscle tension and other problems. BOTOX injections can help resolve TMJ and its accompanying effects by relaxing the muscles that are clenching and causing the problem.
Treat excessive sweating
BOTOX injections are an effective treatment for hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) under the arms, in the palms, in the soles of the feet, and in the scrotum.
SLIM THE CALVES
Overly large calves or calves that are asymmetrical can be attractively slimmed with BOTOX. The gastrocnemius muscle in the calf is responsible for mass and definition. A number of syringes of BOTOX are injected evenly through the gastrocnemius muscle, selectively weakening them to decrease volume. This results in a slimmer, attractively balanced calf shape.
Reasons to Have BOTOX Injections
Our Virginia Beach BOTOX treatment is quick and convenient with little or no downtime. It is a safe, effective procedure that is approved by the FDA for treating crow’s feet and scowl lines and has many other cosmetic uses. There is a reason why botulinum toxin injections are currently the number one minimally-invasive cosmetic treatment in the country.

BOTOX FAQ
Can BOTOX® Prevent Wrinkles Before They Appear?
Yes, BOTOX® can be used preventively. Many younger patients are opting for "prejuvenation" treatments, where BOTOX® is injected into areas prone to wrinkles, like the forehead or around the eyes, before any lines become deeply etched. This approach can delay the formation of wrinkles by reducing the repetitive muscle movements that cause them.
How Does BOTOX® Work Differently for Men and Women?
While BOTOX® works similarly by relaxing targeted muscles in both men and women, the approach may differ. Men often have stronger facial muscles, which might require a higher dose of BOTOX® for effective treatment. Additionally, aesthetic goals can differ—men might seek a more subtle effect to maintain a natural look, while women might aim for more defined results.
Can BOTOX® Be Combined with Other Treatments for Enhanced Results?
Absolutely! BOTOX® is often combined with other cosmetic treatments for a more comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation. For example, BOTOX® can be used alongside dermal fillers to address both dynamic wrinkles (caused by muscle movement) and static wrinkles (caused by loss of volume). It can also be paired with skin resurfacing treatments like chemical peels or laser therapy to enhance overall skin texture and appearance.
Is It Safe to Get BOTOX® If I’m Breastfeeding?
The safety of BOTOX® during breastfeeding is not fully established, and it’s a topic of ongoing research. While BOTOX® is not known to significantly enter the bloodstream, and therefore is unlikely to be present in breast milk, most healthcare providers recommend avoiding BOTOX® treatments while breastfeeding as a precautionary measure. It’s essential to discuss this with your provider to make an informed decision.
Can BOTOX® Be Used to Treat Medical Conditions?
Yes, BOTOX® is not just for cosmetic purposes—it’s also widely used to treat various medical conditions. Some common medical uses include treating chronic migraines, excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), overactive bladder, and muscle spasticity in conditions like cerebral palsy. The mechanism remains the same: BOTOX® temporarily blocks the nerve signals to specific muscles or glands, offering relief from these conditions.
Recovery from BOTOX® Injections: What to Expect
BOTOX® injections are a popular and effective way to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, offering a refreshed and youthful look without the need for surgery. One of the key advantages of BOTOX® is its minimal downtime and quick recovery process, making it a convenient option for those with busy lifestyles. Here’s what you can expect during the recovery period after receiving BOTOX® injections.
Immediate Aftercare
Right after your BOTOX® treatment, you might notice some slight redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites. These effects are typically mild and should resolve within a few hours to a couple of days. To minimize any discomfort or swelling, avoid touching or massaging the treated areas for at least 24 hours. This helps prevent the toxin from spreading to unintended areas.
Activity Restrictions
While BOTOX® injections require no real downtime, there are a few activity restrictions to follow to ensure the best results:
- Avoid Strenuous Exercise: For the first 24 hours, it’s best to avoid vigorous physical activities like running, weightlifting, or intense cardio. This reduces the risk of the BOTOX® migrating away from the targeted muscles.
- Stay Upright: For at least four hours after your treatment, avoid lying down or bending over excessively. This helps the BOTOX® to stay in the intended area.
- No Facials or Massages: Refrain from getting facials, massages, or using facial rollers for at least 24 hours after your injections. Manipulating the treated areas could affect the distribution of the BOTOX®.
When Will You See Results?
Results from BOTOX® typically begin to appear within 3 to 5 days, with full results visible within 1 to 2 weeks. The treated muscles gradually relax, leading to a smoother and more youthful appearance in the targeted areas. If it’s your first time receiving BOTOX®, your provider may schedule a follow-up appointment to assess the results and determine if any touch-ups are needed.
Side Effects to Watch For
While BOTOX® is generally safe and well-tolerated, some individuals may experience mild side effects. These can include:
- Headache: Some patients report a mild headache after BOTOX® injections, which typically subsides within a day.
- Bruising: Bruising at the injection site is common but usually fades within a few days.
- Temporary Weakness or Drooping: In rare cases, BOTOX® can cause temporary muscle weakness or drooping in nearby areas, such as a slight drooping of the eyelid. This effect is usually temporary and resolves within a few weeks.
If you experience any unusual or persistent symptoms, such as difficulty breathing, swallowing, or speaking, contact your healthcare provider immediately.
Long-Term Care and Maintenance
The effects of BOTOX® typically last between 3 to 4 months, depending on factors such as your metabolism, the area treated, and the dosage used. To maintain your results, you’ll need to schedule regular follow-up treatments. Over time, consistent use of BOTOX® can lead to longer-lasting results, as the targeted muscles may become conditioned to remain relaxed.
Conclusion
Recovering from BOTOX® injections is typically quick and hassle-free, allowing you to return to your daily activities with minimal disruption. By following the aftercare instructions provided by your provider and being mindful of the mild side effects, you can enjoy the full benefits of your BOTOX® treatment and maintain a youthful, refreshed appearance. If you have any concerns during your recovery, don’t hesitate to reach out to your healthcare provider for guidance.
