Smiling, laughing, frowning and other expressions all contribute to muscles contracting, which develop wrinkles over time and contribute to the facial features looking older and the skin seeming less elastic. BOTOX® is an injectable that temporarily relaxes the muscles. By working beneath the surface, BOTOX® can target the muscles in the face and alleviate wrinkles helping one look and feel their best.
The drug works by blocking specific nerves in the face that are in control of muscle movement, and when BOTOX® is injected, the muscles become slightly weakened. The result is less distinct wrinkles as well as the prevention of wrinkles from deepening further. There are many misconceptions about BOTOX®, including the idea that the drug is toxic or that the muscles in the face are severely affected. However, when administered by a licensed professional, BOTOX® can create beautiful results, and the doses are so minuscule that the drug cannot be traced in the bloodstream. Overall, receiving BOTOX® treatment can improve facial contours and help you look and feel younger.
If you are curious about whether BOTOX® is right for you, then we welcome you to schedule a complimentary consultation with us. During this time, we will discuss the concerns you have and determine your treatment goals. We will also assess your medical history and ensure that you have no underlying muscle or nerve conditions. Afterward, we will examine the muscles in your face and design a treatment plan that uses injectables to create a natural-looking and younger appearance.

BOTOX® is a safe treatment to use, and side effects are usually minor. You may experience pain at the injection site or minor swelling and bruising. However, the side effects are temporary and will subside as healing progresses. More severe complications include double vision, drooping eyelids, blurred vision, and swollen eyes. If you experience any of these serious side effects, you should consult a member of the Revive staff immediately. Overall, BOTOX® has produced beautiful results for many of their clients and is one of the most popular procedures to receive when combating the effects of aging.
If you have additional questions about BOTOX® treatments, or if you would like to schedule a consultation, please give us a call. We would be happy to work with you to achieve a more youthful and radiant appearance with the use of injectables.

This is a very common question with first-time injectable clients. How does one even schedule if they aren’t quite sure what they are asking for?! Well, we are here to help!
Let’s break it down…
+ NEUROTOXIN (BOTOX / DYSPORT / JEUVEAU)
+ DERMAL FILLERS (RESTYLANE / JUVEDERM)
What’s the difference?!
Neurotoxin is most effective for superficial lines and wrinkles, while dermal filler (Restylane or Juvederm) plumps the skin and restores volume loss. Depending on your goals, a combination of neurotoxin and filler can make the greatest impact on your appearance!
————–
Neurotoxin(s) – (Botox / Dysport / Jeuveau)
Offer natural-looking wrinkle reduction by temporarily relaxing the facial muscles that cause fine lines and wrinkles. By temporarily preventing the contraction of muscles one can reduce and prevent laugh lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet. The three most common areas treated are the forehead, crow’s feet, and vertical ’11’ lines between the eyebrows.
Dermal Filler(s) – (Restylane / Juvederm)
Restore facial volume loss or deficiency. Adding volume with an injectable gel filler adds volume, which plumps the lips, lifts the cheeks, encourages natural collagen production, and prevents the skin from sagging. Add fullness and volume to your smile and/or the middle and lower facial areas.
Neurotoxins and fillers both require the expertise of a certified medical professional for safe and effective results. Schedule your complimentary consultation with our providers today to learn more about reaching your goals.
Most clients start to see results within 2-3 days after treatment but the full effect of the medication may take up to 14 days to achieve optimal results. One can expect injections to last 3-4 months or longer, at which time you can schedule another treatment session.
During treatment, the injection will be administered directly into the muscle responsible for causing wrinkles. The needle used during treatment is very thin, and similar in size to an insulin needle, and clients usually experience minimal discomfort.
Although there is no required downtime after neurotoxin treatments, it is recommended that you avoid strenuous exercise for the first 24 hours.
It’s recommended that you wait a minimum of 24 hours after your treatment to jet off; flying sooner than this recommended time is generally not considered medically safe due to the potential risks. Should complications arise, we prefer clients to be close to our practice.
Always consult with your provider and disclose any holiday or travel plans so they can advise you on the best treatment plan.
I was really impressed with how Kisha mapped out my face before she injected my Botox. I have had Botox at other places and have never experienced this. Her experience and treatment process truly put me at ease during my appointment. I will definitely be back!
I had a 60-minute sports massage with Angela. She was amazing! Very knowledgeable and super friendly. I can’t say enough good things.
I drove two hours from my home, past Iowa City and Cedar Rapids, to Revive for toxin and lip filler. I have done my research on injectables for a while now and was impressed with Revive’s website. Professional and appealing!
Everyone at Revive is so professional and kind. They are so informative and knowledgeable. I have never felt any pressure to do anything, if anything, they tend to start small and make sure their clients are happy and getting what they want! They are amazing! I cannot say enough great things about them!
You cannot go wrong with Revive at The Group! The staff are incredibly experienced and very friendly. When I began getting aesthetic treatments, I knew I needed to go to a place I trusted. Thank you for the best experience as a first-time client of aesthetic treatments and Botox!
Wow! – is all I have to say! Big city level of service. Any treatment I’ve had here so far was top notch and every staff member I’ve worked with was super knowledgeable, professional and made sure I was comfortable.
