Frequently Asked Questions about a BoTox® Procedure

  • BoTox® is an injectable cosmetic treatment derived from botulinum toxin that temporarily relaxes facial muscles to treat unwanted wrinkles and fine lines of the face and neck by reducing their appearance.

  • Botox® primarily treats dynamic wrinkles, such as frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead lines, which are caused by repeated facial movements.

  • BoTox® blocks nerve signals in the muscles where it's injected, causing temporary muscle relaxation and reducing the appearance of wrinkles.

  • BoTox® is ideal for adults who want to reduce the appearance of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and lines without undergoing surgery.

  • The procedure usually takes about 10-30 minutes. Most people start seeing noticeable results within 3-7 days after the treatment with the full result at 14 days.

  • The effects of a BoTox® procedure typically last between 3 to 6 months.

    Over time, the treated muscles gradually return to their natural state, and the wrinkles or fine lines may reappear.

    However, with repeated treatments, the muscles can become trained to relax, potentially leading to longer-lasting results.

  • BoTox® is generally safe when administered by a trained professional. Common side effects are minimal and temporary but can include redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site.

  • Most people describe the sensation as a quick pinch or sting. We use topical numbing creams to make the experience more comfortable.

  • Post-procedure, you might experience slight redness or swelling at the injection site, but you'll be able to resume normal activities immediately, except we do not recommend exercise until the day after BoTox® treatment.

  • Yes, BoTox® brand, by Allergan (which is the product we use) has been FDA approved for cosmetic use in treating certain facial wrinkles since 2002.

  • Dermal fillers, on the other hand, are gel-like substances injected beneath the skin to treat deeper lines, and restore youthful contours of their face by adding volume or plumpness.

    We offer a variety of the most popular dermal fillers that won’t compromise your natural beauty—or your natural expression.

  • BoTox® won't treat static wrinkles caused by loss of skin elasticity or volume.

    This means that if the deep wrinkle is present even when you are not making ANY expression, that wrinkle will not likely be as improved by BoTox® alone.

    It's mainly designed for dynamic wrinkles caused by muscle movement.
