Why Choose Botox®? How It Works

Botox® is a purified protein used in injectable treatments to temporarily relax muscles and smooth wrinkles. In cosmetic procedures, Botox® is injected in tiny amounts into targeted facial muscles. Here’s how it works:

Muscle Relaxation: Botox® blocks the signals sent from nerves to the muscles it’s injected into. This temporary relaxation prevents those muscles from contracting as strongly, which reduces the appearance of wrinkles and lines caused by repeated muscle movements.
Smoothing Wrinkles: When the targeted muscles relax, the overlying skin smooths out, minimizing the appearance of wrinkles like frown lines, forehead creases, and crow’s feet.
Natural Results: Our team uses precise techniques and strategically placed injections to achieve a natural look. This ensures your facial expressions remain intact while wrinkles are softened — allowing you to maintain a natural, youthful expression and boosting your confidence by minimizing visible signs of aging.

The Botox® Procedure:
What To Expect

We provide customized guidance for each patient to ensure you will love your results. During your personalized consultation, we’ll discuss your goals and create a treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Botox® procedures are minimally invasive and performed by our experienced specialists. The injection process involves tiny amounts of Botox® strategically placed in targeted areas to relax muscles and smooth wrinkles. You may feel a slight pinching or stinging sensation during the injection, which is normal.

After the procedure, the treated area may appear slightly red and swollen immediately after the injection, but this usually subsides within a few minutes. You may notice a slight heaviness or numbness in the treated area as the Botox® takes effect.

Minimal downtime is required, and most patients can resume their daily activities shortly after treatment.

Botox® Results

It typically takes 3-7 days for the effects of Botox® to become visible. During this time, the treated muscles will gradually relax and soften. Botox® usually reaches its maximum effect around 10-14 days after the injection. At this point, the treated muscles will be significantly weakened, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and lines. The effects of Botox® typically last 3-4 months, although individual results may vary.

FAQs

Am I a good candidate for Botox®?
Good candidates for Botox® are generally healthy adults looking to reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, such as frown lines, forehead creases, and crow’s feet. Botox® works best on wrinkles caused by repetitive muscle movements. Your provider will evaluate your skin, facial anatomy, and medical history to determine your suitability.
What are the potential side effects?
The most common side effects of Botox® are mild and temporary, including redness, swelling, bruising, and headache at the injection site. In rare cases, Botox® may spread to surrounding muscles, causing issues like eyelid drooping or difficulty swallowing. Serious side effects are very uncommon when Botox® is administered by an experienced, licensed provider.
How long will Botox® results last?
The effects of Botox® typically last 3-4 months, though individual results may vary. As the Botox® wears off, the treated muscles will gradually regain their movement, and the wrinkles will start to reappear. Regular repeat treatments are usually needed to maintain the results.
What can I expect after Botox® treatment?
Immediately after the injections, you may feel a slight pinching sensation. The treated area may appear slightly red and swollen, but this usually subsides within a few minutes. Over the next 3-7 days, you’ll start to notice the muscles relaxing and the wrinkles softening. The full effects are usually visible around 10-14 days after the treatment.
