Botox Amarillo-Awaken Medical Aesthetics
Experience BOTOX® the way it's meant to be: natural, precise, and uniquely you.
You deserve an injector who sees your face as art, not a template. At Awaken, we perform more BOTOX® treatments than anyone in the Texas Panhandle—and it shows. At Awaken Medical Aesthetics, we've perfected the art of results that refresh without freezing.
Where artistry meets Expertise
You Deserve an Injector Who Sees You- Not Just Your Wrinkles.
Here's the thing about BOTOX®: it's not a one-size-fits-all treatment, even though some places treat it that way. Your face is as unique as your fingerprint—the way your muscles move when you smile, squint, or furrow your brow is entirely your own. And that's exactly how we approach every single injection at Awaken Medical Aesthetics.
Whether you're BOTOX®-curious and researching your first treatment, or you've had injections before that left you looking frozen, asymmetrical, or just... off, we get it. You want results that look natural, feel consistent, and actually reflect the expertise you're paying for. You want an injector who treats your face like the art it is.
That's what we do here. And we do it more than anyone else in the Panhandle.
Why Awaken Is a National Leader in BOTOX® Cosmetic
We don't say "national leader" lightly. Awaken Medical Aesthetics performs more BOTOX® treatments than any other medical aesthetics practice in the Texas Panhandle, and our reputation extends far beyond our region. When you're trusted to perform thousands of treatments year after year, you develop a level of precision and artistry that simply can't be rushed or replicated.
Our injectors, Kati Howard, MSN, FNP-C, Amanda Sanders, RN, and Jackie Loya, BSN, RN, aren't just clinically trained. They're facial artists who understand facial anatomy at a level most injectors never reach. They see the nuance in muscle movement. They anticipate how your face will respond. They customize every single unit to your unique goals.
This is advanced injection work. This is what separates a good result from a transformative one.
What Actually Is BOTOX®? (And Why It Works So Well)
Let's start with the basics, because even if you've heard of BOTOX®, you might not know exactly what it does or why it's been the gold standard in aesthetic medicine for over two decades.
BOTOX® Cosmetic is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles: the lines that form when you make facial expressions. Think of the horizontal fine lines across your forehead when you raise your eyebrows, the "11" lines between your brows when you concentrate, or the crow's feet that fan out when you smile.
Those wrinkles aren't caused by aging skin alone. They're caused by repetitive muscle movement. BOTOX® works by gently blocking the nerve signals to those muscles, allowing them to relax. The result? Smoother, softer skin without losing your ability to express emotion naturally.
It's not surgery. There's no downtime. And when done right, no one will know you had anything done. They'll just think you look relaxed and refreshed.
A Treatment Backed by Decades of Research
BOTOX® has been FDA-approved for cosmetic treatment use since 2002, but its medical applications go back even further. It's one of the most studied aesthetic treatments in the world, with millions of satisfied patients and a safety profile that's been proven time and time again.
At Awaken, we've built our reputation on this foundation of trust, and we've elevated it with advanced techniques, artistic precision, and a patient-first philosophy that puts your goals and safety above everything else.
Our Solutions
What We Treat with BOTOX®
(And How We Make It Look Natural)
Here's where the artistry comes in. BOTOX® (botulinum toxin) isn't just for smoothing forehead lines. In the hands of a skilled injector, it can subtly reshape, refine, and rejuvenate your entire face while reducing signs of aging.
Forehead Lines
Smooth those horizontal worry lines without losing your ability to show expression
Frown Lines
Erase the vertical creases between your brows that make you look tired or upset
Crows Feet
Soften the lines that radiate from the outer corners of your eyes
"Bunny" Lines
Reduce those diagonal creases that appear on the nose when you scrunch your face
Lip Flip
A few strategic units can subtly flip the upper lip and smooth lip lines for a fuller, more defined look without dermal filler
Brow Lift
Lifting a drooping or heavy brow can open up your entire eye area

Botox ConsultWhat to Expect: Your BOTOX® Experience at Awaken
Before Your Appointment
If you're new to BOTOX®, it's normal to have questions. During your complimentary consultation, we'll sit down with you and talk through everything: your goals, your concerns, what's realistic, and what's possible. We'll look at your facial anatomy, watch how your muscles move, and design a personalized treatment plan that's built around your unique features.
If you've had BOTOX® before and weren't happy with the results, we'll talk about what went wrong and how we'll approach things differently. Maybe your previous injector used too many units, and you looked frozen. Maybe they used too few and you didn't see results. Maybe the placement was off and you ended up with a droopy eyelid or an uneven brow. We'll walk you through exactly how we'll avoid those outcomes.
A Few Tips To Prepare You:
- Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements (like aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, and certain herbal supplements) for a few days before your appointment to minimize bruising
- Come with a clean face. No makeup necessary
- Stay hydrated and eat normally
- Bring your questions. Seriously, all of them.
During Your Treatment:
Here's what actually happens: quick, precise injections with a very fine needle. Most patients describe it as a few small pinches with minimal discomfort, over in minutes. Our injectors have performed thousands of treatments, so they know exactly how to make the process as comfortable as possible.
You'll be in and out in 15–20 minutes, depending on how many areas we're treating.
After Your Appointment:
You can return to most of your daily activities immediately. Many of our patients come in on their lunch break and go right back to work.
A few guidelines for after your appointment:
- Don't rub or massage the treated areas for a few hours (we don't want the product migrating)
- Avoid strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, or anything that significantly increases blood flow to your face for the rest of the day
- You can apply makeup 2–4 hours after your injections
- If you experience any mild bruising or swelling, a cold compress and our post-care guidance will take care of it
Results: What You'll See (And When)
You'll start to notice results in 2-5 days, with the full effect visible around 10-14 days. This is when you'll see exactly how your injector's artistry plays out smooth, natural, and uniquely you.
Results typically last 3-4 months, though some patients find their results last a bit longer with consistent treatments over time. Most of our patients return every 3-4 months to maintain their look.
How it works
Let's Talk About Safety (Because It Matters)
When administered by trained, experienced medical professionals, BOTOX® is extremely safe. But here's the reality: not all injectors are created equal.
Common, temporary side effects include minor redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site, which is totally normal and usually resolves within a day or two. Rare complications like eyelid drooping or asymmetry can happen, but they're almost always the result of improper technique or inexperience.
This is exactly why choosing the right injector matters so much. At Awaken, your treatment is always performed by expert nurse injectors who specialize exclusively in advanced injectable techniques. We've seen thousands of faces. We know how to prevent complications before they happen.
The Awaken Difference
Will I Look "Frozen"? (Spoiler: Not Here)
Let's address the elephant in the room. You've seen bad BOTOX®. We all have. The overly smooth forehead that doesn't move. The surprised eyebrows. The expressionless face.
That's not what we do.
Our philosophy is simple: you should look like the best version of yourself—refreshed, rested, and naturally beautiful. You should still be able to show emotion, laugh with your eyes, and move your face the way you always have. Just with fewer lines.
We're not here to erase your personality. We're here to enhance what's already beautiful about you.
How Much BOTOX® Will I Need?
This is one of the most common questions we get, and the honest answer is: it depends.
The number of units you'll need varies based on the treatment area, the strength of your muscles, and your desired outcome. Some people have stronger muscles that require more units. Others need less. During your consultation, we'll give you a transparent, customized estimate based on your specific goals.
A general guide:
-Forehead lines: 10–30 units
-Frown lines (11s): 10–25 units
-Crow's feet: 5–15 units per side
But again, these are just ranges. Your injector will design a plan specifically for you.
Neuromodulators
BOTOX® vs. Dysport, Xeomin, Jeuveau, and Daxxify: What's the Difference?
You might have heard of other neuromodulators like Dysport, Xeomin, Jeuveau, or Daxxify. They all work similarly to BOTOX®. They relax the muscles that cause wrinkles, but they have slightly different formulations and longevity profiles.
During your consultation, we'll recommend the best option based on your anatomy, goals, lifestyle, and how your body has responded to injectables in the past (if applicable). Some patients prefer Daxxify because it can last up to 6 months. Others love the proven track record of BOTOX®. There's no wrong choice, just the right choice for you.
