Overview
What is Botox?
If you’re aiming to look more refreshed for special occasions or just want to keep that youthful glow, Botox might be just what you need. Sierra Nevada Cosmetic and Laser Surgery offers the best botox in Reno. It’s a safe and simple way to smooth out those fine lines around the eyes, forehead, and brow. Many people turn to Botox to help prevent and reduce the appearance of wrinkles for a smoother, more vibrant look.
How Does Botox Work?
Botox injections work by temporarily paralyzing the muscles that cause wrinkles and fine lines. When injected in small, controlled amounts, Botox blocks the nerve signals to the muscles in the treated area and prevents them from contracting. This relaxation of the muscles smooths out wrinkles and fine lines, particularly around the eyes and forehead. The effects usually last for about 3 to 6 months before the muscles gradually regain movement, and wrinkles may start to reappear.
What does it treat?
Botox treatments are often used to smooth out the wrinkles and lines on our faces that come from muscle movements. Think about when you frown, squint, or smile—those repeated actions create lines that, over time, can become permanent. As we get older, these lines tend to stand out even more, sometimes making us look older than we feel. Botox injections can help turn back the clock by relaxing those muscles, reducing or even getting rid of those lines, and giving the skin a fresher, more youthful appearance.
Dr. Yamamoto tailors each Botox treatment to fit the unique needs and goals of every patient. He carefully considers the exact spots and how much Botox to use based on the specifics of your face and what results you’re hoping to achieve. Some of the most common areas and concerns that Botox can help with include:
- Frown Lines: Vertical lines between the eyebrows, often called “11 lines.”
- Forehead Lines: Horizontal lines that form when you raise your eyebrows.
- Crow’s Feet: Lines that appear at the outer corners of the eyes when you smile or squint.
- Lip Lines: Fine lines around the mouth, often called “smoker’s lines.”
- Marionette Lines: Lines that run downward from the corners of the mouth.
- Masseter Botox: relaxing the masseter muscles, located on the sides of the jaw and involved in chewing.

Procedure for Botox Treatments
Getting Botox starts with a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Kyle Yamamoto or one of his highly trained Nurse Practitioner and Nurse Injector, Noelle Davis-Marinaccio, APRN or Amanda McJones, RN. During this session, he’ll take the time to understand your concerns and goals and go over your medical history. He’ll also assess your facial structure to find the best spots for the injections.
When it’s time for the procedure, you’ll settle into a comfortable reclined chair while Dr. Yamamoto carefully administers the Botox injections into targeted facial muscles with a tiny needle. You might feel a little pinch, but most patients find the treatment remarkably pain-free, and only takes about 10-15 minutes.
After your treatment, you can continue with your day as usual. However, to ensure optimal results, avoid lying down, intense exercise, or other activities that may cause excessive facial movement for a few hours to help the Botox settle in properly. Also, follow Dr. Yamamoto’s aftercare instructions carefully.
Results
After a Botox treatment, you’ll notice a significant reduction in wrinkles and fine lines in the treated areas. Within a few days, your skin will start to look smoother and more relaxed, especially around the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes. The full effects usually show up in about one to two weeks, giving you a refreshed and youthful look without that “frozen” appearance.
Keep in mind, the results aren’t permanent. They typically last between 3 to 6 months before gradually fading as muscle activity returns. When that happens, you can decide if you want to book another session to keep up the results.
How Much Does Botox Cost in Reno, NV?
Dr. Yamamoto customizes each Botox treatment plan based on each individual’s unique facial features and what you hope to achieve. The cost can differ from person to person, depending on your skin’s current condition and your desired results. We’ll go over the pricing during your consultation and discuss available financing options to help you manage the cost.
What is the Difference between Botox and Dysport?
Dysport and Botox are nonsurgical wrinkle treatments using botulinum toxin to block muscle contractions. Dysport and Botox differ mainly in their approved uses. Dysport is only approved for treating glabellar lines, the wrinkles between your eyebrows. Botox, on the other hand, is approved for glabellar lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet around the eyes. For mild to moderate wrinkles, Botox might be better, while Dysport works well for more severe frown lines.
A unit of Botox is roughly three times more potent than a unit of Dysport, so you need more Dysport to get the same results. However, Dysport is cheaper per unit, so the cost ends up being similar for both treatments. To determine which is best for you, it’s a good idea to consult with Dr. Yamamoto. He can help you evaluate your skincare goals and choose the right option.
