Treatments
Botox in Houston, Texas.
Botox is the most requested treatment at Ameze Skin Elements, our medical spa on West Gray Street in Houston. It is a purified neurotoxin, placed in small amounts into the specific muscles that fold the skin each time you frown, squint or raise your brows. Soften that movement and the lines it presses in ease with it. The aim here is never a frozen face — it is your own expression, rested.
What Botox is used for
The lines people ask about
The three classic areas are the horizontal lines across the forehead, the vertical “elevens” between the brows, and the crow’s feet that fan from the outer eye. These are dynamic lines — they appear with movement — and they respond most predictably. Lines already etched at rest usually soften rather than disappear, and often do better alongside skin treatments.
The less obvious ones
A neurotoxin can also lift the tail of the brow, relax the bunny lines that crease the nose, ease a downturned mouth or a dimpling chin, flip the upper lip for a fuller show without filler, soften vertical neck bands, and slim or unclench a heavy jaw by relaxing the masseter. Which of these suits you is an exam conversation, not a menu choice.
Timing
- First change — typically 3 to 7 days
- Settled result — around two weeks
- Typical duration — about three to four months
- Review — a follow-up is part of the protocol, not an upsell

Good to know
Botox, Dysport and DAXXIFY
All three are neurotoxins and all three are offered here. They differ in how they spread, how quickly they take effect and how long they tend to last, which is why the choice is made at the exam rather than in advance. If you have had a toxin elsewhere and disliked the result, bring that with you — where it was placed and how it felt matters more than the brand on the vial.
Who should wait
Neurotoxin is not appropriate during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, nor with certain neuromuscular conditions or an active skin infection at the injection site. Tell your injector about any recent toxin, filler or dental work, and about medications and supplements that thin the blood. If a treatment is not right for you, you will be told so at the exam.
