BOTOX® Cosmetic in Naples and Estero, FL
Natural-Looking Wrinkle Relaxation with Dermatology-Led Expertise
At Houck Dermatology, BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments are performed by licensed medical providers under the direction of board-certified dermatologist Gregory M. Houck, DO, FAOCD, FAAD, delivering dermatology-led care with a focus on safe, natural-looking results.
Patients throughout Estero, Naples, Bonita Springs, and surrounding Southwest Florida communities choose BOTOX to soften expression lines, prevent wrinkles from becoming more pronounced, and maintain a refreshed appearance without surgery or downtime.
BOTOX is one of the most trusted and widely performed cosmetic treatments available, offering quick appointments, minimal interruption to your schedule, and results that can look beautifully natural when customized by experienced providers.
What Is BOTOX?
BOTOX is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that temporarily relaxes the facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles—the lines that form from repeated facial expressions such as smiling, squinting, frowning, and raising your brows.
By reducing the muscle movement that creates these lines, BOTOX helps smooth existing wrinkles while also helping prevent them from becoming more deeply etched over time. Patients often choose BOTOX because treatment is quick, requires no surgery, and offers predictable, natural-looking rejuvenation when performed by experienced medical providers.
Benefits of BOTOX
For many patients across Southwest Florida, BOTOX is part of a proactive approach to looking refreshed while preserving natural facial expression.
Benefits may include:
- Softening existing expression lines
- Helping prevent deeper wrinkle formation over time
- Quick, in-office treatment appointments
- Little to no downtime
- Personalized dosing for natural-looking results
- A long-established safety profile
- Easy pairing with fillers, laser treatments, and skincare plans
BOTOX remains one of the most effective non-surgical options for patients who want subtle facial rejuvenation without dramatic change.
BOTOX Treatment Areas at Houck Dermatology

Common treatment areas include:
Forehead Lines
Smooth the horizontal lines that develop from raising the eyebrows.
Frown Lines (“11s”)

Crow’s Feet

During your consultation, your provider will assess your facial movement, anatomy, and aesthetic goals to determine the most appropriate treatment plan.
