Botox® McLean & Fairfax, VA
Botox® is one of the most trusted non-surgical treatments for softening lines and refreshing your appearance—without sacrificing expression. At Sculpt Aesthetics & Plastic Surgery, we use it with intention: to enhance what’s already there, not to change who you are. By targeting the specific muscles responsible for fine lines and wrinkles, Botox offers natural-looking results that look more like rest than revision. Each treatment is tailored to your facial anatomy, aesthetic goals, and lifestyle—because confidence looks different on everyone.
Botox® is a well-established injectable treatment used to relax targeted facial muscles and reduce the appearance of lines caused by repeated expressions—like frowning, squinting, or smiling. It’s derived from botulinum toxin type A and administered in precise, small doses for cosmetic and therapeutic use.
At Sculpt Aesthetics, we offer the full suite of FDA-approved neuromodulators—including Botox®, Dysport®, Jeuveau®, Xeomin®, and Daxxify®. These injectables can address everything from crow’s feet and forehead lines to lip flips, jawline slimming, and even under-eye “jelly rolls.” Our skilled providers tailor each treatment to your anatomy and goals, creating subtle enhancements that complement your natural features.
Botox offers a subtle, refined approach to facial rejuvenation—perfect for those who want visible results without looking like they’ve had “work done.” By gently relaxing the muscles responsible for expression lines, it allows the skin to smooth over time, helping you look naturally refreshed.
Key benefits include:
Botox is highly versatile, with applications far beyond just forehead lines. It’s used to refine, soften, and lift in targeted areas—bringing balance and symmetry to the face, and even addressing certain medical concerns.
Most requested cosmetic treatment areas include:
Medical uses offered at our practice may include:
While Botox and dermal fillers are often grouped together, they work in very different ways—and serve different purposes. Botox softens movement. Fillers restore volume. Understanding how each one works can help you choose the right treatment—or combine them for a more complete result.
Botox works by temporarily relaxing facial muscles that cause expression lines. It’s ideal for forehead creases, crow’s feet, frown lines, and other movement-based wrinkles.
Dermal Fillers, on the other hand, are used to restore volume and structure. Made with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, fillers are typically placed in the cheeks, lips, jawline, or nasolabial folds to smooth static wrinkles or enhance facial contours.
For many patients, the best approach isn’t “either/or”—it’s both. Our providers often recommend combining Botox with fillers for a more balanced, youthful look.
Our McLean Botox treatments are ideal for adults looking to soften moderate to severe frown lines, smooth facial wrinkles, or prevent deeper lines from forming—all without surgery. This botulinum toxin treatment works best for those with dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive facial movements, such as smiling, frowning, or squinting.
You may be a good candidate if:
Our team of board-certified plastic surgeons and aesthetic professionals will evaluate your medical history, concerns, and aesthetic goals during your consultation to ensure Botox is the safest and most effective option for you.
Every Botox treatment at Sculpt Aesthetics begins with a personalized consultation. Your provider will evaluate your facial anatomy, review your health history, and discuss your aesthetic priorities.
To prepare for Botox cosmetic injections:
This step ensures your treatment is safe, effective, and tailored to your needs. For some patients, we may also discuss the use of a topical anesthetic for added comfort at the injection site.
The actual treatment process for Botox is quick, straightforward, and minimally invasive. Using a fine needle, your provider will inject small amounts of botulinum toxin type A into precise facial muscles. Each injection site is carefully chosen based on your muscle movement and aesthetic goals.
The procedure typically takes 10 to 20 minutes, and most patients describe it as a mild pinch. A topical anesthetic can be used if you prefer added comfort.
Because this is a non-surgical treatment, you can return to your normal day shortly after—no recovery room, no downtime.
You’ll begin to notice smoother skin and softened facial wrinkles within 3 to 5 days after your Botox injections, with full results developing in about two weeks. Most patients enjoy visible improvements in areas like forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet lines, while maintaining natural facial expressions.
Results from botulinum toxin injections typically last 3 to 4 months. With regular maintenance, many patients find that their results improve over time—as the treated muscles gradually lose the habit of over-contracting.
For more dramatic or long-lasting results, we may combine Botox with dermal fillers or other cosmetic treatments as part of your customized plan.
You may experience mild swelling or redness at the injection site, which usually fades within a few hours. While complications are rare, following aftercare instructions is key to achieving the best outcome.
Aftercare tips include:
If you experience flu-like symptoms, drooping eyelids, or any unusual side effects, contact your provider immediately. Though rare, these may indicate a reaction and should be addressed promptly.
At Sculpt Aesthetics & Plastic Surgery, Botox isn’t a one-size-fits-all procedure—it’s part of a larger commitment to aesthetic balance, personalized care, and clinical precision.
Our team includes board-certified plastic surgeons and experienced injectors who understand the nuance of facial anatomy, from forehead muscles to the thin muscles around the upper lip and eyes. Each injection is carefully planned to preserve your facial features while softening areas like frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead creases.
We use only FDA-approved botulinum toxin products, including Botox® and other botox-type injectables, all sourced and administered safely in our accredited McLean facility. From your first consultation to your post-treatment follow-up, we prioritize comfort, discretion, and results that look as natural as they feel.
This isn’t just about smoother skin—it’s about feeling more confident in how you show up in the world.
The cost of botox cosmetic injections varies depending on the number of units required, the treatment areas, and your unique facial anatomy. Some areas, like the forehead lines or crow’s feet, require more product than others.
During your consultation, we’ll provide a detailed cost breakdown, which typically includes:
We believe in transparent pricing and will never recommend more than what’s needed to meet your goals. We also offer combination packages with dermal fillers or facial rejuvenation treatments when appropriate.
In most cases, Botox treatment for aesthetic purposes is considered elective and not covered by insurance.
However, when used for medical conditions—such as chronic migraine, cervical dystonia, overactive bladder, urinary incontinence, or severe axillary hyperhidrosis—botulinum toxin injections may be eligible for coverage under your plan. These conditions typically require documentation of diagnosis, treatment history, and response to prior therapies.
If you’re seeking Botox for therapeutic use, our team can help coordinate with your provider and insurance carrier to determine eligibility. Otherwise, we’re happy to discuss financing options or treatment bundles to help make your aesthetic goals more accessible.
Yes, Botox is FDA-approved for various medical conditions, including chronic migraine, cervical dystonia, overactive bladder, urinary incontinence, and severe axillary hyperhidrosis.
"Baby Botox" involves smaller doses of botulinum toxin injections, providing subtle, natural-looking results. It's often chosen by younger individuals or those seeking preventative treatments.
After receiving Botox injections, it's recommended to avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours to prevent the spread of the toxin and ensure optimal results.
Starting Botox treatments in your 20s can help prevent the formation of deep-set wrinkles by minimizing repetitive muscle movements that cause lines over time.
Botox is not recommended for individuals who are pregnant or breastfeeding due to the lack of sufficient studies confirming its safety in these populations. There is also insufficient evidence to determine whether Botox or its components can pass into breast milk and affect the baby.
