When Will I Start Seeing Results?

You'll often start noticing a difference within 3 to 14 days of your treatment. To see the full effect of the muscle relaxation and wrinkle smoothing, we recommend waiting a complete two weeks.

Your lines will continue to improve for up to a month, with results lasting typically for up to four months. Rest assured, this treatment is reliable: Clinical trials show that almost 90% of participants rated their improvement as moderate or better one month after their session.

​

How Long Do The Results Last?

BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment typically provides results that last 3 to 4 months.

We find that results often last longer when BOTOX® is injected regularly. The treatment works to "train" the muscle, making it easier to maintain a smoother look over time.

If you choose to discontinue treatment, your wrinkles will gradually revert to their pre-treatment appearance. Keep in mind that individual results vary based on factors like metabolism, muscle movement, and your at-home skincare routine.

Is There Any Downtime Post Treatment?

Most patients do not experience any downtime. Clients can resume most of their daily activities right after the treatment.

​

Is Botox Safe?

Botox®  is a very safe treatment that has been used for more than 30 years and is FDA-approved. Botox®  used in cosmetic procedures requires only minimal dose of Botulinum Toxin. Despite some false beliefs, this minimal dose is generally not harmful to the body or local tissue. Botox temporarily relaxes the treated muscle but should not penetrate to surrounding areas or cause numbness or damage to the muscle. However, it is important to get Botox treatments by highly qualified professionals.

​

What Are The Side Effects Of Botox?

Botox® is a non-surgical treatment with a strong safety record. Any side effects are usually mild, temporary, and localized.

Common & Temporary Side Effects:

As with any injection, clients may experience minor and temporary symptoms at the injection site, including:

• Localized tenderness, swelling, or redness

• Minor bleeding or bruising

• Temporary discomfort or localized pain

Rare Potential Side Effects:

Less common side effects can include nausea, inflammation, and, rarely, a temporary eyelid or eyebrow droop. We take every precaution to minimize these risks.

Important Safety Note:

Patients with certain neuromuscular disorders, such as ALS, myasthenia gravis, or Lambert-Eaton syndrome, may be at an increased risk of serious side effects. Please inform our physician of your full medical history during your consultation.

How Many Units Will I Need?

The number of BOTOX® units is entirely customized to you. The precise quantity depends on several factors, including the area being treated, the strength of the underlying muscle, and the depth of the lines.

Your personalized treatment plan will be determined during a thorough consultation with our physician, who will assess your needs and discuss your aesthetic goals before your treatment begins.
