What Is Botox Cosmetic?
Botox Cosmetic is an FDA-approved neurotoxin treatment that temporarily relaxes specific facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated facial movements like smiling or frowning. By blocking nerve signals to these muscles, Botox injections reduce their activity, allowing wrinkles to soften and fade.
Widely regarded as a safe and effective cosmetic injectable, Botox treatment’s results typically last 3-4 months. When maintained with regular sessions, Botox can significantly improve your skin’s appearance and slow the formation of new wrinkles over time.

Am I a Good Candidate for Botox?
Botox is a very versatile product that many people can use. It is a minimally invasive option for men and women who want to get rid of facial wrinkles without going under the knife. Ideal candidates are typically adults aged 25 and older who notice early signs of aging or wish to prevent wrinkle formation.
Botox may not be the ideal injectable treatment option for harsh midface wrinkles such as nasolabial folds, marionette lines, or parentheses lines.
Those who are pregnant or nursing, as well as those who have any history of neuromuscular disease, should not undergo this type of cosmetic treatment.
What to Expect During Your Botox Treatment Session
The Botox procedure is pretty straightforward and can be done within 10-15 minutes, making it the perfect procedure to undergo during one’s lunch break. A topical or local anesthetic may be administered for patient comfort, though in many cases, it will not be necessary.
Using a very thin needle, Botox will be injected into the specific muscles that are causing the fine wrinkles to appear. The number of units of Botox needed will depend on the patient’s aesthetic goals.
What to Expect After a Botox Treatment
One of the biggest benefits of using Botox is that there is no recovery time necessary after the injections are done. You can go back to all your normal daily activities. It’s highly recommended that you avoid massaging or excessively rubbing the treatment areas shortly after your treatment session to prevent irritation. Initial results from anti-wrinkle injections typically appear within 24-48 hours, with full effects visible in 7-14 days.
How Much Does Botox Cost?
The total price of Botox varies from patient to patient based on their specific needs and goals. The number of treatment sites addressed and the number of units of Botox needed can affect the overall cost. The price of treatment can be discussed during your consultation. If you are concerned about procedure costs, we also offer financing options to make your treatments more accessible.
