Care shaped around you

Botox® is the most widely recognized wrinkle relaxer in aesthetics, and it's one of the treatments we perform most at Greene Emerald Med Spa. It softens dynamic wrinkles — the lines caused by everyday facial expression — giving skin a smoother, more rested appearance without changing how your face moves naturally. Every Botox treatment here is physician-directed, grounded in Dr. Charles Greene's ENT-level understanding of facial anatomy.

TREATMENT TIME: 15-20 minutes

What Is Botox?

Botox® (onabotulinumtoxinA) is an FDA-approved wrinkle relaxer that works by gently blocking the nerve signals to the small facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles. When those muscles relax, the skin above them smooths out. Botox is most commonly used to treat three areas: crow's feet around the eyes, horizontal forehead lines, and the vertical lines between the brows known as "the elevens." Results typically begin to appear within 3 to 5 days, with full results at around two weeks. The effect lasts three to four months before a touch-up is needed. Treatment takes under 20 minutes with no downtime — most clients come in on a lunch break.

Why Choose Botox in Jacksonville at Greene Emerald?

Botox is a medical procedure, and who injects it matters. At Greene Emerald Med Spa, every Botox treatment is performed under the medical direction of Dr. Charles C. Greene, a board-certified ENT (ear, nose, and throat) surgeon. That means your injector is working with a level of facial anatomy knowledge most med spas don't have — Dr. Greene's clinical expertise includes the exact muscles, nerves, and vascular structures Botox targets. We believe in natural results. The goal isn't to freeze your face; it's to soften the lines that make you look tired or stressed while keeping your expressions intact. Every treatment starts with a consultation so we can understand your goals and tailor the dosing accordingly.

Botox for TMJ and Jaw Tension

Beyond its cosmetic use, Botox is an effective treatment for TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorder and jaw tension. When injected into the masseter muscle, Botox reduces the clenching and grinding that cause jaw pain, tension headaches, and even tooth wear. As a board-certified ENT surgeon, Dr. Greene brings an exceptional understanding of facial anatomy to these therapeutic injections — the jaw muscles and nerves are exactly his area of clinical expertise. Many clients find that Botox for TMJ provides months of relief, complementing the effects of TMJ massage.

Botox vs. Dysport

Botox and Dysport are both wrinkle relaxers that work the same way, but their formulations differ slightly. Botox is known for its precision — it tends to stay where it's placed, which makes it ideal for targeted areas like the glabella (the elevens). Dysport spreads a little more evenly, which some clients prefer for larger treatment areas like the forehead. Neither is objectively better; it comes down to your anatomy, your goals, and your injector's recommendation. We stock both at Greene Emerald, so you're never limited to one brand. We'll talk through the differences at your consultation and recommend the best fit.

What to Expect at Your Botox Appointment

Your visit begins with a brief consultation to review your goals and assess your facial anatomy. The injections themselves take only a few minutes — most clients describe the sensation as a quick pinch. The needles used are very fine. There's no downtime, though we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, lying flat, or rubbing the treated areas for the rest of the day. You'll start seeing results within a few days, with full results at about two weeks. A follow-up appointment at the 3 to 4 month mark keeps your results looking consistent.
