Botox Treatment
Conveniently located to serve Charleston and Mt. Pleasant
Have you looked in the mirror and noticed more lines and creases than you expected? Over time, wrinkles, fine lines, and crow’s feet can make your face look older. While these changes are natural, they don’t have to be permanent.
At Dr. Sonny O Plastic Surgery in Charleston, SC, Botox can smooth these lines and help you maintain a refreshed look.
What Is Botox Treatment?
Botox is an injectable treatment containing botulinum toxin, a component produced by a bacterium called Clostridium botulinum. This frown line treatment is designed to reduce and sometimes eliminate wrinkles and fine lines by relaxing the facial muscles. In as little as 15 minutes, a minimally invasive Botox treatment can completely redefine your appearance and take years off your look.

How Does Botox Help Prevent Wrinkles on Your Face?
For many years, Botox has been one of the leading cosmetic treatments for those who want to get rid of those annoying wrinkles and fine lines. This treatment does wonders due to how it interacts with your body after you receive your initial injection.
The muscles on your face contract regularly, forming the facial lines we know as wrinkles. Over time, it can cause crow’s feet, vertical frown lines, and horizontal lines on your forehead.
When you receive Botox injections, it prevents your nerves from releasing acetylcholine. This is a chemical used to make your muscles contract. By blocking the release of this chemical, Botox prevents excess facial expressions. It allows your muscles to relax and decreases the visibility of lines on your face with time.

Ideal Candidates for Botox Treatments
Botox is a safe and effective cosmetic treatment for those currently experiencing the early signs of aging in the form of wrinkles, fine lines, and crow’s feet. Dr. Sonny O will perform an initial assessment of your skin quality and ask about your medical history to help determine if Botox is the right cosmetic solution for you.
What Happens During Treatment
Your Botox treatment is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure in our office. Dr. Sonny O carefully maps out the injection points based on your facial anatomy. Small amounts of the wrinkle relaxer injectable are placed into targeted muscles using a very fine needle. Most crow’s feet treatment sessions take 10–20 minutes, and many patients describe only a brief pinching sensation. For added comfort, a topical numbing agent may be applied.
What to Expect During Recovery
There’s no required downtime, and you can return to normal activities immediately. Mild swelling or redness may occur, but usually subsides within hours. Initial results often appear in 3–5 days, with full effects in about two weeks.
Why Is Botox a Popular Non-Invasive Cosmetic Procedure?
There are several reasons why people opt for Botox over other types of cosmetic procedures. For starters, the results of this treatment will start to become visible in less than a week. They should last for a maximum of six months. Another reason people love getting Botox is because of how the results look. After you receive the injections, you will look noticeably refreshed and vibrant.
Also, there aren’t any restrictions on what you can do after the treatment. You can return to your regular activities after leaving our office; however, we do ask that you refrain from exercising for the first 24 hours.
How Much Does Botox Cost?
The cost of a Botox cosmetic treatment varies from patient to patient, depending on the number of units required to achieve the desired results. After performing an initial skin assessment, Dr. Sonny O will develop your personalized treatment plan and discuss the associated cost.
We offer flexible payment options through Prosper Healthcare Lending and PatientFi. Visit our affordability page for details.
