Dr. Hino came highly recommended by a botox junkie (or professional, whatever!) friend. Since I live in Austin and occasionally visit Dallas for business I had to wait for my chance! Ended up having to make a short last-minute trip and Dr. Hino was booked the following day, however his wonderful staff worked me in between appointments. Dr. Hino does all the botox injections himself, and what a nice guy! He asked what I wanted to fix, explained what he could do to fix it, then got to work. There is a flat rate charge per area, not a charge for "units." Had two areas treated, absolutely NO pain at the injection sites, but I did get a headache as the day progressed, which got worse as the night went on but not anything unmanageable, just took an aspirin and went to bed. Within a few days I could feel the muscles slowly relax, and a couple weeks later the botox was doing great things I didn’t even expect! It smoothed out the skin in ways I wish could work in other areas, even seemed like it was slightly plumping and tightening. After about 6 months I was starting to see the effects lessen, and at about 8 months decided only needed a touch up, and still not a full treatment. Since a Dallas trip was not on the horizon I decided to set a touch up appointment at a med-spa in Austin that charged by the unit. The touch up was okay, in a kinda-sorta way, maybe I wasn’t given enough botox or maybe it was a lesser grade botox, if there is such a thing, who knows. Let me just say that the experience and results with Dr. Hino would personally justify a trip to Dallas just for botox, I just felt as though I’d be turning into slight botox junkie (or professional, whatever!) myself, I’m always walking that receational user/full blown junkie tightrope with these maintenance procedures, so i’ll stick to only seeing him when I’m already in town on business.

Worth Every Penny! Definite Huge Results! - I am 40 years old (as of last month) and have been getting Botox injections on my forehead and in between my eyebrows for the past 7 years. I have my dermatologist do this procedure and have never had any complications. I'm not over-selling this one bit; this is absolutely the best and cheapest way I have found to take major years off of my face.The injections over time reversed the line between my eyebrows and on my forehead. It takes me about a week to see the full results after my treatment, but after the first 3 days I can start to see improvement. It is dramatic & terrific every time! More
