Frequently Asked Questions About Botox
What factors influence the cost of Botox treatments?
The cost of Botox can vary significantly based on individual needs and aesthetic goals. To provide an accurate estimate, we recommend scheduling a personalized cosmetic consultation with Dr. Hudson. During this assessment, he will evaluate your specific requirements and recommend a tailored treatment plan to achieve the most natural and effective results.
How should I prepare for my Botox appointment?
For new patients, we discuss Botox injections during the initial cosmetic consultation, often with the option to proceed with treatment on the same day. Preparation is minimal, but we advise avoiding alcohol and certain medications or supplements that may increase bruising risk (such as Ibuprofen, Aspirin, or Vitamin E) for a week prior to your appointment. This precaution helps minimize the likelihood of bruising post-treatment.
What are some alternative applications for Botox?
Beyond its well-known wrinkle-reducing properties, Botox has several other therapeutic and cosmetic uses. It can effectively treat hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), create subtle facial contouring or slimming effects, alleviate trapezius muscle pain, and provide relief from TMJ-related jaw discomfort.
What should I expect in the days following my Botox treatment?
Post-treatment, you can resume normal, light activities immediately. However, we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise and lying down for a few hours after the procedure. It's crucial not to massage or excessively touch the injection sites to prevent product migration. While initial results may be noticeable within the first week, the full effect of Botox typically becomes apparent about two weeks post-injection.
Are there potential side effects associated with Botox?
While side effects are generally uncommon, some patients may experience mild bruising or swelling around the injection sites. These symptoms typically resolve within 24 to 72 hours. To minimize bruising risk, we advise avoiding blood-thinning medications, supplements (like Ibuprofen, Aspirin, and Vitamin E), and alcohol for a week before your appointment.
What are the potential risks of Botox injections?
To ensure safety and optimal results, Botox should only be administered by a licensed professional with extensive experience and in-depth knowledge of facial anatomy. While rare, potential risks may include temporary facial asymmetry or drooping. Our skilled practitioners take every precaution to minimize these risks and ensure your safety throughout the treatment process.

Dr. Hudson is incredible! My husband and I drive from Abilene to have him do our skin checks and for him to do my Botox and he is well worth the drive. Always so pleased with my results and he is very thorough with everything he does. I always appreciate his kindness and positive attitude at each visit & would recommend him to anyone!

On a 1-10 scale I give Dr Hudson a 15. I had a melanoma procedure he explained the procedure in detail. He listened to my questions and concerns and put me at ease. Dr Hudson is a very compassionate Dr

This place is fantastic. Please don't go anywhere else. Save your time. This is it. The place was immaculate. The receptionist was super sweet. The tech was also super sweet. The doctor was super informative and communicative. They were all so sweet to my daughter that was with me. They had her involved in my appointment which was the most precious thing. They care about the whole person.

What a great experience! Dr. Hudson is extremely personable and genuinely cares for his patients! I walked in just to see if they took my insurance for a future appointment, but they were able to get me in the same day for a skin cancer screening. I was so pleased with the whole experience and wonderful staff that I'll definitely be back for other more 'fun' treatments!

Dr. Hudson is the absolute best! He truly takes his time, listens, and genuinely cares for his patients. He was amazing with my daughter and made her feel beautiful. He tackled her acne issues head on and the results are incredible! She has such clear and beautiful skin all thanks to Dr. Hudson. We won’t go anywhere else. He is a blessing.
- Lana K.
Dr. Hudson is one of the best, most kind doctors I have ever met! He explains things incredibly well, extremely knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. My wife and I traveled 3 hours to see him and he really took care of us and made us feel like we were the only patients he had to see that day with the amount of time he spent with us! There isn’t a better doctor in DFW than Dr. Hudson.

I went to Dr. Hudson on a family doctor recommendation. I have never met a nicer doctor. I was quite anxious and had not had any success with other appointments.He was honest, sincere, tried to put me at ease and calm my jitters about doctors. His staff was helpful and friendly.
