Botox Injections

Botox® is a trusted, non-surgical solution designed to smooth fine lines and soften wrinkles for a naturally refreshed appearance. This widely popular injectable works by temporarily relaxing the facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles—those formed by repeated expressions like smiling, frowning, and squinting.

Common areas treated with Botox® include forehead lines, frown lines between the eyebrows, and crow’s feet around the eyes. By targeting the underlying muscles, Botox® helps create a smoother, more relaxed, and youthful look without altering your natural expressions.

Results typically begin to appear within just a few days, offering a noticeable improvement in facial smoothness and overall vibrancy. While the longevity of Botox® can vary from person to person, many patients enjoy results that last several months with proper aftercare and maintenance. For more comprehensive rejuvenation, pair Botox with treatments like facials or dermal fillers with a plan tailored to your needs.

Whether you're new to injectables or looking to refresh your current look, our expert team at Sculpt Aesthetics & Plastic Surgery is here to help. We invite you to schedule a consultation at the location most convenient for you and experience the art of subtle, beautiful rejuvenation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Botox® is a great option for individuals looking to soften fine lines and dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated facial expressions. It’s ideal for adults who want a non-surgical, quick, and effective way to achieve a smoother, more refreshed appearance. A consultation at Sculpt Aesthetics ensures Botox is the right fit based on your health history, skin condition, and aesthetic goals.

Most patients begin to see visible improvements from Botox® within three to five days after treatment. The smoothing effect continues to develop, with full results typically appearing around two weeks. You’ll notice a softer, more refreshed look without changing your natural expressions.

Botox® results typically last three to four months, depending on individual factors like metabolism and the treatment area. Regular maintenance sessions can help sustain a smooth, youthful appearance over time.

Botox® involves minimal to no downtime, allowing most patients to return to normal activities immediately after treatment. Some people may experience mild redness, swelling, or slight bruising at the injection sites, but these effects are temporary and usually resolve within a few days. Following post-treatment care instructions helps ensure the best possible results.

Before a Botox® treatment, avoid alcohol, blood thinners, and anti-inflammatory medications for a few days to help minimize bruising. After your injections, it’s best to stay upright for several hours, avoid rubbing the treated areas, and skip strenuous exercise for 24 hours. These simple steps help ensure optimal results and a smooth recovery.

During a Botox® treatment, your provider will use a fine needle to carefully inject small amounts of the product into targeted facial muscles. The procedure is quick and comfortable, typically taking about 10 to 20 minutes with minimal discomfort. Most patients describe the sensation as a brief pinch and can return to their normal activities right after the session.
