What Is Botox?
Botox is an injectable treatment made with a fermented form of bacteria. When it’s injected into the muscles of the face, it can block movement signals, relaxing wrinkles and fine lines. It can also prevent the formation of wrinkles caused by expressions (called dynamic wrinkles). The result is a smoother, more rejuvenated look without the furrows, fine lines, and creases that can make you look older than you feel.

I decided to book a facial here based on the positive reviews and thank god I did!! Shelby was so thorough in her assessment of my problem areas and what needs attention. I left with glass/glowing skin, every pore was squeaky clean and noticeably reduced in size! I highly recommend Shelby Heroy for all of your facial needs!! She has now gained a regular client.

Botox is an excellent, low-hassle option for virtually anyone looking to refresh their look. Although many people think Botox is for older patients, there are benefits to using it at any age. Still, it’s one of the best options for smoothing wrinkles and looking rejuvenated and energetic. Our experienced injectors will assess your medical health and cosmetic goals during an appointment to determine if it’s right for you.
How Long Does Botox Treatment Take?
Botox can be administered in as little as 15 minutes. You’ll discuss your cosmetic goals with our experienced injectors and create a sensible, personalized treatment plan. Once you’re ready, the product is placed in the muscles with a very fine needle, after which you can return home.
Botox Aftercare
Botox can take up to two weeks to show final results. We recommend the following aftercare steps for best results with Botox:
- Avoid hot environments like saunas, hot showers, or hot tubs
- Avoid exercising or elevating your heart rate for 24 hours
- Avoid laying down or bending over for four hours
- Avoid taking blood-thinning medications like ibuprofen
- Avoid massaging or rubbing the area for four hours
- Avoid alcohol for 24 hours
Additionally, make sure to exercise the injected muscles for the first 30 minutes after treatment. This helps the product take hold. You may have some redness, but you can cover it with makeup if needed. Botox can last for 3-4 months, at which point you can return for a touch-up.
Meet Our Experts How should I choose a provider for my Botox treatments?
When choosing a provider for Botox treatments, prioritize medical expertise, experience, and proper credentials by selecting a reputable medical spa like The Look Med Spa, which is known for delivering safe, natural-looking results. Ensure the provider offers a personalized consultation, operates in a clean, professional clinical environment, and has positive patient reviews or recognition.
Can Botox be combined with other med spa treatments for better results?
Yes, Botox can be safely combined with other med spa treatments for enhanced results. Our experienced injectors will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that may include Botox alongside other injectables or skincare options, helping you achieve a smoother, more youthful look tailored to your unique goals.
Will I need a consultation before getting Botox at The Look Med Spa?
Yes, you will need a consultation before getting Botox at The Look Med Spa. During your appointment, our experienced injectors will assess your medical health and cosmetic goals to determine if Botox is right for you. A personalized treatment plan that best fits your needs will be created.
Are there lifestyle factors that might affect how long my Botox results last?
Yes, several lifestyle factors can affect how long your Botox results last. Habits including excessive sun exposure, frequent intense exercise, high stress levels, poor sleep, smoking, and heavy alcohol use can all cause Botox effects to wear off more quickly. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, like protecting your skin from UV rays, managing stress, staying hydrated, eating a balanced diet, and avoiding smoking, can help your Botox results last longer and keep your skin looking its best.
What should I expect during my first Botox appointment at The Look Med Spa?
During your first Botox appointment at The Look Med Spa, you’ll start with a consultation where our experienced injectors assess your medical health and discuss your cosmetic goals. Together, you'll develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. The Botox treatment itself typically takes about 15 minutes: the product is carefully injected into specific facial muscles using a very fine needle. After your session, you can return home right away, as there’s no downtime required. The entire process is designed to be comfortable, efficient, and focused on helping you achieve a refreshed, natural look.
Is there a difference between Botox used for cosmetic versus medical purposes?
Yes; cosmetic Botox is used to reduce wrinkles and fine lines for a smoother appearance, while medical Botox treats conditions like migraines, muscle spasms, and excessive sweating. Both contain the same ingredient but differ in their purpose, dosage, and injection areas.
How soon after Botox can I wear makeup or skincare products?
It is recommended to wait at least 24 hours after Botox before applying makeup or skincare products. This allows the Botox to properly settle into the muscles and reduces the risk of irritation or affecting the treatment’s effectiveness. If you need to apply makeup sooner, be very gentle and avoid rubbing or pressing on the injection sites to prevent spreading the Botox or causing complications.
Can men benefit from Botox treatments as well?
Yes, men can benefit from Botox to reduce wrinkles, smooth fine lines, and achieve a refreshed, youthful look. It’s also used for medical conditions like migraines and excessive sweating. Men may need slightly higher doses due to stronger facial muscles.
Does Botox treatment vary depending on different facial areas?
Yes, Botox treatment varies by facial area, targeting different muscles like those on the forehead, around the eyes, or jawline. Each area may need different doses and techniques to achieve the best results, personalized to your unique facial features and goals.
What are the signs that it might be time for a touch-up treatment?
It might be time for a Botox touch-up when you start to notice facial movement returning in the treated areas, fine lines or wrinkles reappearing, or previously smoothed areas becoming less smooth. Other signs include changes in your facial expressions becoming more pronounced or uneven, or if your results are simply less noticeable than before. Regularly scheduled maintenance can help keep your results looking fresh and natural.
