Arlington Botox
Say Goodbye to Lines & Wrinkles
If you’re struggling with the signs of aging, Botox injections at SkinDC can restore your youthful, smooth skin.
What Is Botox?
Botox's active ingredient is botulinum toxin, which is significantly diluted before being used to soften wrinkles.
Many of the wrinkles in the face stem from muscular contractions from an expression, such as:
- Laughing
- Smiling
- Frowning
- Scowling
Before its FDA approval, Botox was primarily used as a medical treatment to treat wrinkles by relaxing muscles through a mild weakening effect.
Beyond its popular association with cosmetic procedures, Botox boasts a versatile portfolio, relieving chronic migraines, excessive sweating, and muscle disorders.
How Botox Works at SkinDC
Careful injection of botulinum toxin causes the contracting muscle to relax, causing the skin to naturally smooth over the relaxed tissue. Botox shines as a non-surgical solution for softening the appearance of age-related wrinkles.
Common treatment areas include the forehead, around the eyes (crow's feet), and between the brows (frown lines). The results are a smoother, more youthful complexion, with visible improvements typically appearing within a few days post-treatment and lasting up to several months.
There are no effects on lines and wrinkles that result from loss of skin elasticity and collagen alone, or lines present at rest without muscle movement. For this reason, Botox treatments work best in combination with other cosmetic treatments, including:
- Xeomin
- Dysport
- Daxxify
- Jeuveau

Quick & Comfortable Procedure

Precision & Care
The expertise of our board-certified dermatologists and expert providers comes into play as they meticulously inject small quantities of Botox into targeted muscles.

What to Expect After Treatment
One of the many advantages of Botox injections is the negligible downtime. You can resume most of your everyday activities right after leaving the office.
However, you should avoid vigorous exercise and keep the treated area upright for a few hours following the procedure, ensuring the Botox settles correctly.
While you may notice some initial changes within a few days, the full benefits of Botox typically unfold over two weeks. This gradual transformation leads to a more relaxed and rejuvenated appearance, reflecting your inner vitality on the outside.
