What is Botox?
Botox is widely popular non-surgical cosmetic treatment that uses a purified protein called botulinum toxin to temporarily relax muscles and reduce the appearance of wrinkles in the addressed area.
While Botox® is the most recognized brand of botulinum toxin type A, we also offer similar products like Dysport®, Xeomin®, and Jeuveau®, each botulinum toxin based but uniquely formulated to address various cosmetic needs and preferences.
How it works?
Botox works by temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles, resulting in a smoother, more youthful appearance.
The treatment involves injecting a small, precise amount of botulinum toxin type A into targeted facial muscles, such as those around the forehead, "crow's feet", frown lines, and more.
Once injected, botulinum toxin blocks nerve signals to these muscles, preventing them from contracting and forming dynamic wrinkles. This effect typically begins to appear within a few days and lasts for three to four months, offering a subtle yet effective way to rejuvenate your look without surgery.
With our expert practitioners, each treatment is customized to achieve natural-looking results that enhance your unique features.
is botox safe?
Botox is a widely recognized and FDA-approved cosmetic treatment that is considered very safe when administered by qualified professionals.
We conduct thorough consultations to determine if Botox is the right option for you, considering factors such as medical history and specific cosmetic goals. Although Botox is safe for most individuals, it is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women or those with certain neurological conditions.
Most side effects are minor and temporary, such as slight redness or bruising at the injection site. These effects typically subside within a few hours to a day. In rare cases, patients may experience headaches, drooping eyelids, or flu-like symptoms, but these are not severe nor long-lasting.
Our commitment to safety, combined with our expertise in advanced injection techniques, makes us a trusted Botox provider.
Concerns addressed
Botox is a versatile cosmetic treatment that addresses various aesthetic concerns, helping to enhance your natural beauty with subtle yet effective results.
Here are some of the key cosmetic applications:
- Forehead Lines and "Crow's Feet"
- Botox smooths out dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated facial expressions, such as forehead lines and "crow's feet", giving you a refreshed and youthful appearance.
- Frown Lines
- Also known as glabellar lines, Botox softens the "11 lines" between the eyebrows, resulting in a more relaxed and approachable look.
- Neck Bands
- Botox can be used to treat horizontal neck bands, offering a more youthful neck contour and reducing the signs of aging in the neck area.
- "Barbie Tox" for Trapezius Muscles
- By injecting Botox into the trapezius muscles, commonly known as "Barbie Tox," the treatment creates a slimmer neckline and a more delicate shoulder appearance.
- Underarm Sweating
- Botox is highly effective in reducing hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) by targeting the sweat glands in the underarms, leading to increased comfort and confidence.
- Scar Reduction
- Botox can aid in the healing process and reduce the appearance of scars by relaxing the surrounding muscles, promoting smoother skin.
effects duration
The effects of Botox typically last between three to four months, although this can vary based on individual factors.
After receiving a Botox treatment, most patients begin to notice improvements within 3 to 7 days as the botulinum toxin starts to relax the targeted muscles. The full results become more apparent after about two weeks, offering a smoother and more youthful appearance.
Factors Influencing Duration
Several factors can influence how long Botox effects last:- Metabolism
- Individuals with a faster metabolism may find that the effects wear off sooner because their body processes the botulinum toxin more quickly.
- Muscle Activity
- Areas of the face with more frequent movement, such as around the mouth and eyes, may experience a shorter duration of results, necessitating more regular touch-ups.
- Dosage
- The amount of Botox administered can affect how long the results last. Your practitioner will customize the dosage to your specific needs to achieve optimal results.
- Regular Treatments
- Regular Botox users often find that the duration of effects increases over time as their muscles become more accustomed to relaxation. Some patients report that effects can last up to six months with consistent use.
- Lifestyle Factors
- Factors such as smoking, sun exposure, and stress can impact the longevity of Botox effects. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle with proper skin care can help prolong the results.
Maintaining Your Results
To maintain the desired appearance, it is generally recommended to schedule follow-up sessions every three to four months. This regular maintenance helps ensure that your skin remains smooth and youthful, preventing dynamic wrinkles from reappearing.

What to expect?
Before botox treatment
Your Botox Specialist at Ageless Health Medicine will evaluate your lines and wrinkles, listen to your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan just for you. They will recommend the ideal areas to target for effective treatment and determine the number of injections needed for each facial area.
To prepare for your appointment, avoid aspirin, anti-inflammatory medications, blood thinners, and alcohol for at least 24 hours before your session. This helps reduce the risk of bruising and ensures optimal results.
During Botox Treatment
Before the injections, your face will be thoroughly cleansed to ensure a sterile environment. Botox will then be carefully injected into specific areas of your face to target wrinkles and fine lines.
We offer various pain management options to make the experience as comfortable as possible. Most patients report that the treatment is virtually painless.
While the initial session may take up to an hour, follow-up appointments typically last around 30 minutes.
After Botox treatment
After Botox injections, the targeted area muscles will begin to relax, resulting in a noticeable reduction in the appearance of creases and wrinkles.
Your Botox Specialist at Ageless Health Medicine will provide you with detailed post-care instructions to maximize your results and minimize any potential side effects.
Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated areas for at least 24 hours, and refrain from strenuous activities and alcohol consumption. You can expect to see improvements within 3-5 days, with full effects visible after two weeks.
NOTICE: Our providers and staff look at this appointment fully as a discovery appointment, however depending on the service requested many do ask to be treated that same day.
