Botox improves the appearance of facial wrinkles and results can last from 3 to 6 months. It has been FDA-approved for the treatment of moderate to severe wrinkles in the frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead. It is also used off-label for vertical lip lines, chin dimpling, gummy smile, neck bands, injections into the masseters for bruxism (teeth-grinding), and to turn the corners of the mouth up. Botox is also used for excessive sweating in the underarms (hyperhidrosis). You should expect to notice your wrinkles smoothing out within 2 to 10 days from your injections. Our mission with every treatment is for you to “Look fresh, not frozen®.”
Why Patients Choose Botox:
Many patients choose Botox to smooth existing expression lines, while others use it preventatively to help slow the formation of deeper wrinkles over time. Treatment is quick, requires little to no downtime, and can be easily incorporated into even the busiest schedules.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Botox?
Botox is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that temporarily relaxes targeted facial muscles to reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated facial expressions. It is commonly used to soften forehead lines, frown lines (“11s”), crow’s feet, and other areas of facial movement, while maintaining a natural-looking appearance.
When will I see my Botox results?
Most patients begin noticing results within 3–5 days, with full results typically visible after 10–14 days.
How long does Botox last?
Results generally last 3 to 6 months, although this can vary depending on the treatment area, your metabolism, muscle strength, and how consistently you receive treatments.
Does Botox hurt?
Most patients describe Botox injections as a quick series of tiny pinches. The procedure is generally well-tolerated and typically takes only a few minutes.
Can Botox help prevent wrinkles?
Yes. Many patients begin Botox before deeper lines develop. By reducing repetitive muscle movement, Botox can help minimize the formation and progression of expression lines over time.
What should I avoid after Botox?
Following your treatment, Michelle will recommend that you:
- Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated areas for 24 hours.
- Avoid strenuous exercise for the remainder of the day.
- Avoid lying flat for four hours after treatment.
- Avoid excessive heat, such as saunas or hot tubs, for the rest of the day.
- Avoid wearing hats that put significant pressure on the injection sites for the rest of the day.
How often should I get Botox?
Most patients return every 3 to 4 months to maintain their results. Michelle will recommend a treatment schedule based on your facial anatomy, muscle movement, and aesthetic goal
