Look as Energized as You Feel
Katy’s heat and humidity are relentless year-round, and for residents of Cinco Ranch and the Cinco Village area, daily life under Texas’s intense UV exposure adds up faster than most people realize. Commutes along the Westpark Tollway mean consistent driver-side sun exposure that compounds over the years. Houston’s subtropical climate accelerates skin aging, showing up as fine lines, fatigue, and a face that no longer matches the energy you actually have.
At Beauty Refined, Botox® injections treat jaw tension, excessive sweating, and expression lines in 15 minutes with no downtime. Results appear within 3-5 days and last 3-4 months.
How Botox® Works
Botox® injections use a neuromodulator injection that temporarily blocks nerve signals to the targeted muscle, preventing the repeated contractions that cause wrinkles. The active ingredient, botulinum toxin type A, is delivered in small, precise doses directly into the muscle as part of a wrinkle relaxer treatment that requires no anesthesia and no recovery period. The muscle relaxes, the overlying skin smooths out, and results begin appearing within 3–5 days, with full results visible at 2 weeks.

Conditions and Concerns Botox® Addresses
Masseter / Jaw Slimming and TMJ
Botox® injections are a helpful option for people with TMJ (temporomandibular joint) issues or those seeking a slimmer, more contoured jawline. By targeting the masseter muscle, Botox® reduces the repeated tension that causes jaw pain, headaches, and teeth grinding. In higher doses, this Botox® treatment relaxes the masseter muscle enough to visibly reduce its size over time, resulting in a more sculpted and defined jawline. This dual-purpose treatment addresses both function and aesthetics by relieving discomfort while refining facial contour. Typically, masseter treatments require 40–60 units, depending on muscle size, individual needs, and goals. Botox® unit cost depends on the number of units used. Your provider will tailor the dosage to your aesthetic and medical needs during your consultation.
Hyperhidrosis (Excessive Sweating)
If you’re bothered by excessive underarm sweating, Botox® offers a long-term, non-surgical solution by temporarily blocking the release of the chemical messenger that triggers sweating, effectively turning off sweating in the treated area without affecting surrounding tissue. Injections are administered just below the skin’s surface, where the solution stays localized to block sweat-triggering signals. Studies show an 82–87% decrease in underarm sweating, with effects beginning within 2–4 days and lasting 4-14 months. Pricing depends on the number of units used. Your provider will tailor the dosage to your needs during your consultation.
