Cosmetic Botox
How Cosmetic Botox Works
Botox is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that targets specific muscles to temporarily block nerve signals, relaxing them and smoothing out wrinkles. This popular procedure is the first and only FDA-endorsed treatment that can reduce and improve the appearance of crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead wrinkles for a more youthful, refreshed look. Treatment entails minimal downtime, allowing you to resume your daily routine immediately after leaving your specialist’s office. Results typically start to appear within 24 to 48 hours, with the full effect visible in about two weeks. Our Botox treatments offer a non-invasive solution for smoother skin with results lasting three to six months. Speak with our doctors to learn how injectable treatments provide a subtle yet effective way to rejuvenate your appearance.

A Botox procedure is quick and convenient, typically taking about 10-20 minutes. The exact time depends on the number of treatment areas and individual needs.
-
You’ll start to see initial results within 24-48 hours as the targeted muscles begin to relax. Full effects are typically noticeable within 10-14 days.

Botox treatments typically last 3-4 months, though results can vary depending on individual factors like metabolism and lifestyle. Some may see effects last up to 6 months.
Complementary Aesthetic Services
While Botox works on the surface to relax facial muscles and smooth lines, internal factors like hormone imbalance can also accelerate skin aging. For those dealing with symptoms of perimenopause or Low T, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may be a supportive option alongside aesthetic care. We also offer skin-rejuvenating treatments that pair well with Botox, including collagen-boosting RF microneedling, advanced laser resurfacing for texture and tone, the Glo2Facial by Geneo for deep hydration and glow, and VI Peel chemical exfoliation to refine and brighten skin.
Why Injectables like Botox and Dermal Fillers Work Better Together
Botox and fillers target different aging concerns, making them an ideal combination for smoother, fuller, and more youthful skin. Botox minimizes dynamic wrinkles by relaxing facial muscles, while fillers like Restylane and Juvederm restore volume and enhance facial structure. Patients at our medical spa often choose both for a more comprehensive refresh. From lip fillers to full-face rejuvenation, injectables work together to create balanced results.

Results often begin within 24-72 hours, with full effects visible in 7-14 days, and can last 3-6 months.

Medical Botox FAQ
-
Yes, Botox is FDA-approved for various medical uses, including chronic migraines, excessive sweating, and muscle spasms. When administered by a trained professional, it is considered safe and effective for these conditions.
-
The frequency of Botox treatments depends on the condition being treated. For example, Botox for chronic migraines may be administered every 12 weeks, while treatments for hyperhidrosis might be done every 4-6 months. Your provider will customize a treatment schedule based on your needs.
-
We administer 10 to 15 small injections into the affected underarm area using a very fine needle. Significant reduction in underarm sweating is typically noticeable within 4 weeks after your initial treatment. You may experience drier underarms for up to 201 days or approximately 6.7 months. BOTOX® is not a permanent solution for severe underarm sweating. Your symptoms will gradually return, signaling when it may be appropriate for another treatment.
