Due to its versatile use, Botox can be used to prevent and improve the appearance of wrinkles with little pain and no surgery required. Some patients choose Botox as part of a long-term skincare plan to prevent new wrinkles from forming, thus delaying or eliminating the need for more invasive treatments to correct these lines.
Project Your Best Self
Botox is commonly used to treat and prevent wrinkles and fine lines in areas such as the forehead, between the eyebrows (glabellar lines), and around the eyes (crow’s feet). It can also be used to soften lines around the mouth and neck. Botox is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that temporarily reduces or prevents facial muscular contractions, minimizing the appearance of wrinkles and creases.

Expectations for Results
While some individuals may notice improvements within a few days, it can take up to 1 to 2 weeks to see the full effects of Botox. During this time, you may notice a reduction in the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines in the treated areas.
How is Botox Used?
Step 1: Consultation
Prior to injectable treatments, Dr. Johnson will perform a history and physical and discuss your goals. After a thorough review of your medical history, she takes several photos and lets you know what to expect during the treatment. You should stop taking certain medicines or supplements that cause bleeding before injection and avoid alcohol the day before.
Step 2: Procedure
During your procedure, we inject the neurotoxin using a tiny needle. If you are concerned about pain, you can request for a small vibrating tool called a vibrata to distract you from any potential discomfort. Convenience, personalized attention, and the utmost privacy greet you at every visit. Your provider will ensure your comfort throughout the treatment, which lasts less than half an hour.
Step 3: Recovery
While you may experience some mild redness, swelling at the injection site, or potential bruising, Botox does not require any downtime. It is best, however, to refrain from consuming alcoholic beverages, exercise or strenuous activity, massaging, or putting pressure on the treated area for a few days. This helps ensure the injectable does not migrate to unwanted areas.
Botox FAQs
Yes, Botox is a safe treatment that has been used for many years. It was FDA-approved in 1989 for therapeutic use and approved for cosmetic use in 2002.
Most patients are good candidates for Botox injections, but it’s essential to consult with Dr. Johnson to determine if Botox is suitable for your specific concerns and goals.
Botox typically takes a few days to start working, with full results becoming noticeable within 1 to 2 weeks after treatment. Some individuals may see improvements sooner, while others may require more time to see the effects.
The effects of Botox typically last between 3 to 4 months, but this can vary depending on factors such as the individual’s metabolism, the amount of product injected, and the treated area.
The price of Botox is $13 per unit, with most sessions requiring anywhere between 20 to 60 units, bringing the average cost of treatment in the range of $260 to $780.
Botox injections are intended to soften wrinkles and fine lines while preserving natural facial expressions. Botox may not completely immobilize facial muscles but rather relax them to reduce the appearance of wrinkles; however, the amount of immobilization will depend on Dr. Johnson’s assessment and goals of the patient.
Testimonials
Dr. Johnson gave me my first Botox injections and was phenomenal. The service was so personal it felt like concierge level. We discussed my face, hopes, and concerns in a completely unrushed manner, but in great detail. She prefers to under inject as opposed to over inject- which I truly appreciated. As an extremely anxious person, the entire staff was so welcoming and calming. I felt so included and heard during our first meeting! A thousand stars- already planning my next visit!
