Looking for Youthful Skin? Have You Tried Botox, Fraxel, and Thermage?
If you’re in your mid-thirties and starting to notice fine lines and wrinkles that weren’t there before—especially around your eyes, mouth, and forehead—you’re not alone. Many women in the Rio Grande Valley share the same concern:
“How do I get smoother, younger-looking skin without surgery and without looking fake?”
It’s 2025 for a reason. We no longer just “accept” unwanted lines and wrinkles. At Beautique Medical Spa, we’ve spent over 23 years helping women just like you achieve radiant, flawless skin they love. Our proprietary combination of services, including Neurotoxins, Fraxel, Thermage FLX, and medical-grade skincare, delivers natural, beautiful results.
Choosing the Right Experts Matters
When deciding where to invest your hard-earned money and trust your most precious asset—your face—it’s critical to choose a team of experts who truly understand facial anatomy, skin health, and advanced techniques. Experience matters. Knowing how to customize treatments and combine the right ones for optimal results makes all the difference.
Why Do Fine Lines and Wrinkles Happen?
Before we dive into solutions, let’s understand the problem. Fine lines and wrinkles are a natural part of aging, but that doesn’t mean you have to accept them.
Here’s what causes them:
✔️ Collagen and Elastin Breakdown: Starting in your 30s, collagen (which keeps skin firm) and elastin (which keeps skin stretchy) decline—leading to sagging and wrinkles.
✔️ Sun Damage: Living in McAllen and the Rio Grande Valley means year-round sunshine, but UV exposure speeds up skin aging, causing fine lines, dark spots, and rough texture.
✔️ Facial Expressions: Every smile, frown, or squint creates tiny muscle contractions. Over time, they etch lines into your skin, especially around the eyes and mouth.
✔️ Loss of Fat and Hydration: As we age, the fat under our skin diminishes, and skin holds less moisture—causing hollow areas and dryness that make wrinkles more noticeable.
The good news? These signs of aging can be reversed with the right combination of treatments and skincare.
Our Top 3 Treatments for Smoother, More Youthful Skin
1. Neurotoxins: The Gold Standard for Smoothing Expression Lines
What It Is: Neurotoxins like Botox and Daxxify are purified proteins that relax the muscles that cause wrinkles.
How It Works: When injected into specific areas like the forehead, between the brows, and around the eyes, neurotoxins temporarily stop muscle contractions. This softens existing lines and prevents new ones from forming.
What It’s Best For:
✔️ Frown lines (between the brows)
✔️ Crow’s feet (around the eyes)
✔️ Forehead lines
Botox vs. Daxxify: Which One is Right for You?
At Beautique Medical Spa, we’ve used Botox since it first launched, and the only other neurotoxin we trust is Daxxify.
Botox:
✔️ Works within 3-5 days
✔️ Lasts 3-4 months
✔️ The most widely recognized neurotoxin
Daxxify:
✔️ Works within 1-3 days
✔️ Lasts 6-9 months (nearly twice as long as Botox)
✔️ Contains peptides for longer-lasting results
💡 Daxxify Glow: Our clients and team LOVE how Daxxify gives a refreshed, radiant look that lasts longer, making it an excellent choice for busy women who want fewer touch-ups.
2. Fraxel: Resurface and Reveal Glowing Skin
What It Is: Fraxel is a fractional laser treatment that targets damaged skin cells while stimulating new collagen production.
How It Works: The laser creates tiny micro-injuries in the skin, triggering your body’s natural healing response. This process:
✔️ Smooths fine lines
✔️ Evens out skin tone
✔️ Reduces sun damage
✔️ Improves texture
What It’s Best For:
✔️ Fine lines around the eyes and mouth
✔️ Sunspots and uneven skin tone
✔️ Rough texture and acne scars
💡 Why Beautique Is Unique: We are the ONLY practice in McAllen, in fact in the Rio Grande Valley with the original Fraxel Dual—allowing us to treat both surface damage and deep collagen layers in a single session.
3. Thermage FLX: Tighten, Lift, and Smooth—Even Around the Eyes!
What It Is: This is Veronica’s favorite treatment to perform. In fact, this our second device because we used the first one so much that it just stopped one day. Thermage FLX is a non-invasive treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to tighten and firm the skin. It basically gives your collagen a wake up call, it helps to achieve that youthful perky look we had when we were younger.
How It Works: The radiofrequency heats deep layers of skin, stimulating new collagen production for:
✔️ Improved elasticity
✔️ Fewer fine lines
✔️ A naturally lifted appearance
What It’s Best For:
✔️ Loose skin around the jawline, neck, and cheeks
✔️ Fine lines on the face and body
✔️ Sagging eyelids—no surgery needed!
💡 Why It’s a Game-Changer: Thermage FLX is one of the only treatments that can be used on the eyelids, making it a great alternative to eyelid surgery.
Oh, and did we mention that you can use both Thermage FLX and Fraxel to treat your face, eyes, and body? Yep, imagine what we can achieve together!
Botox vs. Fillers: What’s the Difference Anyway?
We’ve all seen the movies and skits about Botox and Fillers. Who can forget Christmas with the Kranks, when Tim Allen’s character gets “Botox” and can’t drink anything. Well, as funny as that scene was, it is incorrect, because Filler is used to plump and add volume to the lips, not Botox. We use Botox to smooth fine lines and wrinkles, but it does make for good t.v. The truth is that many women are confused about whether they need Botox or dermal fillers. Usually, both are needed to achieve natural facial balance.
✔️ Botox/Daxxify: Relaxes the muscles that cause wrinkles. Best for crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines.
✔️ Fillers: Restore lost volume. Best for plumping lips, smoothing smile lines, and lifting cheeks.
💡 Think of it like this:
✔️ Botox = Smooths movement lines
✔️ Fillers = Restores lost volume
When used together, they create a balanced, youthful look.
Why Consistency Is the Key to Youthful Skin
Just like working out, our skin needs regular maintenance to stay in top shape. Would you ever join a gym, expect to lose pounds, tighten and tone, but eat fast food and icecream for every meal? Your fitness coach wouldn’t be very happy with you right? Same goes with getting the results you want? If you choose to invest in treatments, it is imperative to use the skincare recommended by your provider, in fact it’s one of our non-negotiables.
✔️ Neurotoxins wear off after 3-4 months (6-9 months for Daxxify).
✔️ Fraxel and Thermage build collagen over time, so annual treatments help maintain youthful skin.
✔️ Medical-grade skincare enhances and extends your treatment results.
Skincare That Boosts Your Results
To get the most out of your treatments, we recommend the following products that we know will not interact with the treatments, and will help speed recovery and continue to create collagen and elastin on a daily basis:
