BOTOX® Fort Worth
Conveniently located to serve Fort Worth
Dynamic facial lines, such as crow’s feet and frown lines, can create an appearance that looks more tired or tense than intended. BOTOX offers a proven and precise way to relax these muscles and restore a smoother, more refreshed appearance.
At Strock Plastic Surgery, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Louis L. Strock personally performs every BOTOX injection, ensuring safe and effective treatment with natural-looking results that enhance—rather than change—your appearance.
What Is BOTOX?
As one of the most popular cosmetic treatments worldwide, BOTOX has become a household word. Many people, however, aren’t sure exactly what it is, how it works, and which conditions it can treat.
BOTOX Cosmetic is an Allergan product derived from the Clostridium botulinum bacterium. Its genetic form is called botulinum toxin type A, or onabotulinumtoxinA.
There are several reasons why facial wrinkles develop. Forehead wrinkles and the “worry lines” between the eyes are “dynamic wrinkles,” caused by the repeated contractions of tiny muscles. BOTOX minimizes these wrinkles by temporarily relaxing the muscles.
BOTOX is also used for medical purposes such as addressing hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating in the armpits and other areas) and migraine headaches.
When administered by a highly trained physician such as Dr. Strock, the result is a relaxed, rested appearance that can take years off the face.
Concerns we treat with BOTOX injections
Dr. Strock performs BOTOX injections to effectively treat dynamic lines across several key areas of the face and neck:
- Forehead lines (horizontal lines)
- Glabellar lines (frown lines/“worry lines” between the eyebrows)
- Crow’s feet BOTOX (lines at the outer corner of the eyes)
- Bunny lines (on the nose)
- Lipstick lines (vertical lines around the mouth)
- Chin dimpling or wrinkles
- Vertical neck bands
- Select cases of jaw/jawline contouring
BOTOX vs. dermal fillers
BOTOX and dermal fillers address different types of aesthetic concerns, and both may be options for facial rejuvenation. BOTOX is best for relaxing muscle-caused dynamic lines, while dermal fillers restore volume loss to smooth deep static wrinkles, folds, and hollows.
For more advanced signs of aging, Dr. Strock may recommend a surgical option like a facelift. Maintaining your results with medical-grade products like ZO Skin Care is also often beneficial. Discussing your goals with Dr. Strock will determine if a standalone BOTOX treatment or combining BOTOX with fillers or other treatments is the optimal approach for you.
Good Candidates for BOTOX
Most patients considering BOTOX injections are concerned about early signs of aging, such as horizontal forehead wrinkles, crow’s feet at the corners of the eyes, and vertical lines above the bridge of the nose (often called “worry lines” or “frown lines”), bunny lines, lipstick lines around the lips, chin wrinkles, and vertical neckbands. They may also require jaw and jawline contouring.
The best BOTOX candidates have realistic expectations and a clear understanding of what the results may look like. Viewing BOTOX before and after photos helps patients understand the type of results the treatment can achieve.
The Procedure
BOTOX treatments at Strock Plastic Surgery are designed to be efficient and straightforward. The treatment typically takes about 10 minutes, making it easy to schedule during your lunch break. To maximize your comfort, a cold compress may be used before the tiny needles are administered; most patients describe the sensation as a quick, momentary pinch.
Recovery and Results
Recovery after BOTOX injections is simple, with essentially no downtime. You can immediately return to your normal daily activities, including work and exercise, after leaving our office. You will notice the first changes in the treated muscles within 3–5 days, and the full, smoother effect generally appears after approximately two weeks. Your results typically last 3-4 months, and a consistent treatment plan is often recommended to maintain your refreshed look.
While the treatment is quick, following a few simple steps ensures the best outcome. Here are a few quick recovery tips you can follow:
- Avoid lying down for the first few hours following treatment.
- Do not rub or massage the treated areas for at least 24 hours.
- Avoid strenuous activity or heavy exercise on the day of your injections.
- Gently contract the treated muscles (frowning or raising eyebrows) for the first hour to help the product settle.

Frequently Asked Questions
How someone tolerates discomfort is highly personal, but most BOTOX patients report minimal discomfort during BOTOX treatments. The procedure typically lasts only about 10 minutes, and we usually numb the area with a cold compress first. The needles used for BOTOX injections are very small, and most people describe the injection as comparable to a little pinch. Post-injection redness and tenderness are common, but temporary.
After a BOTOX treatment, there is no downtime or recovery time required. Instead, patients can immediately return to their everyday activities, including work. It makes the treatment very convenient.
Patients shouldn’t expect to see results right away. Although response times vary from patient to patient, BOTOX usually begins to reduce frown lines and wrinkles within 3-5 days. In some cases, it can take up to a week. The final results may take two weeks to fully emerge.
Patients may see noticeable results for 3-4 months, and regularly scheduled injections help keep lines at bay. Studies suggest results may last longer with repeated treatments.
Dr. Strock recommends the best treatment option during an initial consultation. Dermal fillers fill in wrinkles and restore volume to areas of the face that have lost it, such as the cheeks, under-eye area, and around the mouth. BOTOX relaxes certain muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles. When strategically combined, the results can be dramatic.
