Botox and Other Neurotoxins FAQ: Everything You Need to Know
What is Botox?
Botox is a minimally invasive treatment that relaxes the muscles responsible for wrinkles, giving your skin a smoother, more youthful appearance. It’s a quick, safe, and effective way to reduce signs of aging without surgery.
How Does Botox Work?
Botox works by temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause fine lines and wrinkles. By blocking nerve signals, it prevents these muscles from contracting, allowing your skin to look smoother and refreshed.
Is Botox Right for Me?
- Reduce wrinkles like crow’s feet, forehead lines, or frown lines.
- Prevent deeper wrinkles from forming.
- Achieve a natural, rejuvenated look.
During a consultation, our experts will discuss your goals and determine if Botox is the best choice for you.
Does Botox Hurt?
We use tiny, precise needles to minimize discomfort. Most clients describe the sensation as a small pinch. If you’re feeling nervous, we’ll take the time to make sure you’re comfortable every step of the way.
What Can I Expect During My Appointment?
Your appointment typically lasts 15–30 minutes. After discussing your goals, our skilled injectors will carefully administer Botox to the targeted areas. There’s no downtime, so you can return to your day right after.
How Long Does Botox Last?
Results usually appear within 3–5 days (full results in 2 weeks) and last around 3–4 months. With regular treatments, you can maintain a smooth, youthful appearance all year long.
Are There Any Side Effects?
Botox is FDA-approved and safe when performed by a trained professional. Common side effects are minor and temporary, such as slight redness or swelling at the injection site. We’re here to address any concerns and ensure your experience is positive.

- Refrain from alcohol for 24 hours prior.
- Arrive with clean skin free of makeup.
