Cosmetic Botox
Natural, Physician‑Led Aesthetic Care
Cosmetic Botox can soften lines, balance facial expression, and create a refreshed appearance without changing your natural look. At Bare Face RVA, all cosmetic Botox treatments are performed by a physician, with a focus on precision, facial harmony, and subtle enhancement.
The goal is not to look different — it is to look like yourself with a softer, more rested expression.
Why Physician-Performed Cosmetic Botox
As a double board‑certified neurologist, Dr. Sherita Chapman has advanced training in facial anatomy, neuromuscular function, and injection-based treatment. This background allows for thoughtful dosing, individualized treatment plans, and natural results that preserve expression rather than eliminate it.
All treatments are performed directly by Dr. Chapman — never delegated.
Areas Commonly Treated
Cosmetic Botox can be used to treat expression lines and muscle activity in areas such as:
Forehead lines
Frown lines ("11s")
Crow’s feet
Bunny lines
Lip lines
Masseter (jawline slimming / TMJ tension)
Chin dimpling
Neck bands (select cases)
Treatment plans are customized to your facial anatomy and goals.
What to Except
Consultation
Treatment begins with a brief assessment to understand your goals, facial movement patterns, and prior treatment history.
Treatment
Injections are performed in a private clinical setting. Most treatments take 10–15 minutes with minimal discomfort and no required downtime.
Results & Duration
Initial results may be seen within several days, with full effect at 1–2 weeks. Effects typically last 3–4 months, depending on dose and muscle activity.
Philosophy of Natural Results
Cosmetic Botox at Bare Face RVA focuses on:
Softening lines while maintaining expression
Enhancing facial balance and symmetry
Avoiding an overtreated or "frozen" appearance
Tailoring dosing to individual anatomy
The intent is not to erase every line — it is to support a refreshed, confident appearance while still looking like yourself.
Pricing & Payment Options
Cosmetic Botox is not covered by insurance, however FSA and HSA funds may be accepted for treatment when allowed by the patient’s plan. Eligibility varies — please check with your plan administrator. Transparent pricing is provided at the time of consultation. Payment plans are available for eligible treatments.
Cosmetic Botox is priced at $12 per unit. Total treatment dosing varies based on anatomy, muscle activity, and aesthetic goals. Pricing is reviewed during consultation.
Before & After Photos
A curated selection of before and after photos will be available to demonstrate natural cosmetic outcomes. All photos reflect real patients treated with physician‑performed Botox.
TMJ-Related Cosmetic Concerns
For patients with jaw tension, clenching, or masseter hypertrophy, Botox may help reduce muscle activity and soften the jawline while also improving comfort. During consultation, cosmetic and functional goals can be addressed together when appropriate.
