💉 What Happens During the Treatment?
Botox injections typically take 10 to 20 minutes, depending on how many areas you treat. Here’s the step-by-step:
- Clean & Mark: Your skin will be cleaned, and injection points will be mapped out.
- Tiny Injections: Botox is gently injected using a fine needle. Most patients say it feels like a small pinch.
- You’re Done! You can walk out and get back to your day without bandages or downtime.
⏳ Aftercare: What to Expect After Your Botox Treatment
Recovery is minimal, but your results will evolve over the next few days. Here’s the typical timeline and aftercare tips:
🕐 First 24 Hours:
- Avoid lying down flat for 4 hours
- Skip intense workouts
- Don’t rub or massage treated areas
🌟 Day 3 to 7:
- You’ll begin to see smoothing and softening of lines
- Maximum results usually show by Day 10–14
💡 How Long Does Botox Last?
On average, Botox results last 3 to 4 months. We’ll help you schedule touch-ups based on your personal rhythm and goals to maintain your look.
🔁 When Should You Schedule Your Next Botox?
We recommend follow-up appointments every few months to keep your appearance consistent (especially for events like weddings or reunions 🎉). Regular treatments can even train facial muscles to contract less aggressively over time, meaning longer-lasting results.
