What is BOTOX?

BOTOX Cosmetic is a purified protein derived from Botulinum toxin type A. When precisely injected, it temporarily relaxes targeted facial muscles by blocking the nerve signals that cause them to contract. This smooths expression lines and helps prevent deeper wrinkles from forming. BOTOX is FDA-approved, clinically proven, and safely used around the world for cosmetic purposes since 2002.

FACES+ treats common concerns like forehead creases, frown lines, and crow's feet while always preserving your natural look. Our focus is on subtle enhancement that blends seamlessly into your features.

“Michele is amazing, she did exactly what I asked for and she actually listens. I wanted natural Botox, enough to make a difference, but not over done! It takes a true artist to achieve good Botox results, especially in my face! I have strong facial features and my muscles can pull, it can get very tricky. Michele knows what she’s doing, it was perfect!

What to Expect During BOTOX Treatment

Your treatment begins with a one-on-one consultation with an experienced provider who will assess your facial anatomy, discuss your goals, and map a personalized injection plan. The BOTOX procedure itself is quick and comfortable, usually lasting 15 - 30 minutes. A fine needle is used to deliver tiny amounts of BOTOX into specific muscles, with no need for anesthesia.

BOTOX Recovery and Results

There is no required downtime after BOTOX. You may return to your normal activities immediately, though we advise avoiding strenuous exercise for 24 hours. Mild redness or swelling at injection sites typically resolves within hours.

Initial results begin to appear within 3 to 5 days, with full effects visible in up to 14 days. BOTOX results generally last 3 to 4 months. With regular maintenance, many patients notice their lines continue to soften and become less noticeable over time.

Botox FAQs

What areas can BOTOX treat beyond the forehead and crow's feet?

BOTOX can also be used to reduce neck banding, minimize chin dimpling, lift the corners of the mouth, smooth bunny lines on the nose, and reduce excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) in areas like the underarms or palms.

Can BOTOX be used for medical conditions?

Yes, in addition to cosmetic use, BOTOX is FDA-approved to treat conditions like chronic migraines, muscle spasticity, overactive bladder, and temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ).

How is BOTOX different from dermal fillers?

BOTOX relaxes the muscles that cause wrinkles, while fillers add volume beneath the skin. They are often used together for a more comprehensive rejuvenation strategy but address different concerns.

Is BOTOX safe for long-term use?

Yes, BOTOX is considered safe when administered by qualified providers. Most patients can receive treatments for many years without negative long-term effects. However, rare side effects can include drooping eyelids, asymmetry, or allergic reactions.

Will I still be able to make facial expressions after BOTOX?

Absolutely. At FACES+, treatments are designed to preserve your natural expressiveness. The goal is to soften lines, not freeze your face.

Can BOTOX be used as a preventive treatment?

Yes. Many patients in their late 20s to early 30s use BOTOX preventively to slow the development of deep-set wrinkles caused by repetitive muscle movements.

What are the risks or side effects of BOTOX?

While most patients experience no complications, side effects can include bruising, redness, swelling, or headaches. In rare cases, BOTOX may migrate, causing temporary drooping or asymmetry. Choosing a skilled provider greatly minimizes these risks.

How often should I get BOTOX to maintain results?

Most patients benefit from treatment every 3 to 4 months. With consistent use, muscle activity often diminishes, which may allow for longer intervals between sessions over time.
