Botox

Service Description

Botox® is the gold-standard neuromodulator for smoothing dynamic wrinkles — the fine lines and creases that appear with facial expression. FDA-approved and one of the most studied aesthetic treatments in the world, Botox temporarily relaxes the underlying muscle to soften existing wrinkles and prevent deeper lines from forming. Common treatment areas: • Forehead lines • Frown lines (the "11s" between brows) • Crow's feet around the eyes • Bunny lines on the nose • Lip flip and gummy smile • Masseter (jawline slimming and TMJ relief) • Neck bands Results appear within 3–14 days and last 3–4 months. Every treatment begins with a personalized consultation to design a natural, expressive, never-frozen result. Administered by our licensed medical professionals. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHAT TO EXPECT Your visit takes about 30 minutes. After a brief consultation to review your goals and any medical history, your provider cleanses the area and marks the injection points. Injections themselves take 5–10 minutes — most clients describe the sensation as a quick pinch. You'll leave with tiny, temporary raised bumps that settle within 15–30 minutes. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ PREPARATION & AFTERCARE Before your appointment: • Avoid blood thinners (aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, vitamin E) for 48 hours if medically possible • Skip alcohol for 24 hours before • Come with clean skin — no makeup on treatment areas After your appointment: • Stay upright for 4 hours (no lying flat or bending over deeply) • No vigorous exercise, hot yoga, sauna, or steam room for 24 hours • Don't rub or massage treatment areas for 24 hours • Normal skincare and light makeup can resume the next morning Downtime: none. You can return to work immediately. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FREQUENTLY ASKED Q: Does it hurt? A: Most clients rate it 2/10. We use ultra-fine needles and can apply topical numbing cream on request. Q: When will I see results? A: Softening begins in 3–5 days. Full results show at 14 days. Q: How long does it last? A: Typically 3–4 months. First-time clients may metabolize faster; longer retention develops with consistent treatment. Q: Will I look frozen? A: No. We dose conservatively and customize by anatomy and expression — you'll still smile, laugh, and emote naturally. Q: Am I too young or too old for Botox? A: Most clients start between 25–35 for prevention. There's no upper limit — older clients often benefit from softening established lines. Q: Is it safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding? A: We do not treat pregnant or breastfeeding clients. Please reschedule after you are no longer nursing. Q: I had Botox elsewhere and didn't love the result. Can we fix it? A: Share what you didn't like at your consultation. Botox fully metabolizes in ~3 months, and we'll build a refined plan from there.
