How Botox in San Antonio Works
- After meeting with a Marcos Medical Aesthetics & Wellness injector, we’ll ensure your complete comfort by applying a local numbing cream to the injection site.
- Botox is what’s known as a “neuromodulator”, which means that the injections completely relax the muscles in your face.
- When that happens, your facial features smooth out and create a more youthful appearance. The process is simple, painless, and effective in reversing (and preventing) aging signs for several months.

Frequently Asked Questions about Botox in San Antonio
Each person will have different responses to treatment. However, most can expect to see results from their Botox treatment at Marcos Medical Aesthetics & Wellness within a few days.
You’ll experience the full results of your Botox treatment within a few weeks, and they should last for about 3 to 4 months. To maintain your Botox results, it’s recommended that you schedule follow-up treatments after about 3 to 4 months.
The body’s natural aging process will cause you to lose collagen—which is a protein that helps your skin stay tight. Not only that, but repeated facial expressions (like smiling, frowning, and squinting) will cause facial lines to deepen over time. Natural factors within your environment can also damage your skin.
Yes! Patients as young as their earlier 20s can (and have) used Botox in San Antonio to help prevent the appearance of aging signs in the future.
Absolutely! Both our male and female patients can experience the wrinkle-relaxing benefits of Botox. It’s common for men to visit Marcos Medical when they want to improve themselves both on the inside and the outside. This can take the form of combining sexual wellness treatments with cosmetic injectables, or even adding Emsculpt NEO to a weight loss program.
In order to maintain your results, you’ll need to come in for additional injections of Botox once every 3 to 4 months. As with any aesthetic journey, improving your skin’s appearance requires commitment. If you ever want to stop receiving Botox in San Antonio, we can help you take that next step. However, keep in mind that you may notice your wrinkles return.
We often see patients transition from Botox to other skin-smoothing treatments if they no longer wish to receive injections. We may recommend care options that tighten the skin, such as Exion RF microneedling. Or, our experts might suggest using EMFACE to boost facial volume and tone underlying muscles, pulling the skin on top taut.
The key differences between these two injectables are their pliability and placement range. While Dysport has a softer formula that allows for some maneuvering while we inject it, Botox has a slightly denser consistency. Depending on the placement and depth of your wrinkles, we may recommend one formula over the other.
We can also use Dysport in wider areas than we can with Botox. Dysport can treat your entire forehead at once. Meanwhile, Botox is better suited for smaller, more precise injection sites, like the area between your brows.
Which injectable we use comes down to your unique needs. During your consultation, our team will examine your skin to determine which option is best for you. We also offer dermal fillers to help you further smooth your skin and define facial contours.
There are two main types of wrinkles: dynamic and static. Botox treats the former, helping you relax the facial muscles that deepen the lines on your face.
Dynamic wrinkles form when repeated muscle movements gradually create folds in the same spots over and over. Since these wrinkles are not a result of time passing, anyone can experience them, regardless of age. This makes treatment less about boosting collagen and more about reducing those repetitive motions.
Once we inject the Botox into key areas, it minimizes these particular muscle movements, allowing your skin on top to finally relax and smooth out. This means that, should you choose to stop receiving Botox, your lines are likely to come back once your muscle memory returns to normal.
When you visit Marcos Medical for Botox in San Antonio, we can take a close look at your face to determine whether Botox is right for you. Since this treatment is best suited for dynamic wrinkles, it may not be able to effectively treat static wrinkles. This is especially true for more advanced lines and folds, as relaxing the muscles beneath may not be enough to smooth out the skin on top. In this case, we may recommend alternative or additional treatments to achieve more comprehensive results.
