We also offer a Botox banking membership program that allows loyal patients to lock in a discounted per unit rate. Call or text us at 706-850-3603 to learn more.

What is the difference between Botox and Dysport?

Both Botox and Dysport are FDA-approved neurotoxins that relax the muscles responsible for expression lines. The primary differences are in their formulation and how quickly they take effect. Dysport tends to spread slightly more which can be advantageous for larger treatment areas like the forehead. Botox is more precise which makes it ideal for smaller targeted areas. At The Moore Center we offer both and our providers will recommend the best option based on your specific goals and facial anatomy during your consultation.

Yes. Botox has one of the longest safety records of any cosmetic treatment available with decades of FDA-approved use. At The Moore Center every Botox treatment is performed under the direct supervision of Dr. James Moore, a board-certified plastic surgeon with over 30 years of experience. That level of physician oversight means your safety and your results are always the top priority. We use only authentic FDA-approved product purchased directly from authorized distributors.

How many units of Botox do I need?

The number of units varies depending on the treatment area and the individual patient. As a general guide the forehead typically requires 10 to 20 units, the area between the brows known as the elevens typically requires 20 to 25 units, and crow's feet typically require 10 to 15 units per side. A lip flip requires just 4 to 6 units and masseter jaw slimming treatments typically require 20 to 30 units per side. During your consultation at The Moore Center our providers will give you a personalized recommendation based on your specific anatomy and goals.

How long does Botox take to work?

Most patients begin to notice the effects of Botox within three to five days after their appointment. Full results are typically visible within 10 to 14 days. If you feel your results are not quite where you expected them to be after two weeks contact us and we will be happy to assess your results and determine if a small touch-up is appropriate.

What areas can Botox treat?

At The Moore Center Med Spa we use Botox to treat a wide range of areas including forehead lines, frown lines between the brows, crow's feet around the eyes, a brow lift, bunny lines on the nose, a lip flip to create a subtle upper lip curl, lip lines also known as smokers lines, chin dimpling, neck bands, jaw slimming and teeth grinding through masseter injections, and excessive sweating. During your consultation we will discuss which treatment areas align with your aesthetic goals.

Most patients describe Botox injections as a very minor pinching sensation that passes within seconds. We use very fine needles specifically designed for injectable treatments and the procedure itself typically takes less than 15 minutes from start to finish. Any mild redness or swelling at the injection site generally resolves within a few hours. The vast majority of our patients find the treatment extremely comfortable and are pleasantly surprised by how quick and easy the process is.

What should I avoid after Botox?

After your Botox treatment at The Moore Center we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise for 24 hours, not lying down flat for at least four hours after your appointment, avoiding rubbing or massaging the treated areas for 24 hours, skipping facial treatments like facials and massages for at least two weeks, and avoiding excessive heat including saunas and hot yoga for 24 hours.
