Botox®
Most areas use 10–40 units. Your provider maps the exact count at your visit, before anything is drawn up.
FDA-approved botulinum toxin type A, placed by a licensed provider to soften the lines that show up when you frown, raise your brows, or squint: forehead lines, the “11s” between the brows, and crow’s feet.
- The visit
- About 20 minutes, including the consult and mapping. Back to your day right after; no downtime.
- When it shows
- Onset is typically 3–7 days, with the full effect at about 2 weeks. Results generally last 3–4 months.
- Follow-up
- A 2-week check assesses the result and adjusts with a touch-up if your provider recommends one.
What to know: Common, mild: temporary bruising, swelling, or redness at injection sites. Less common: temporary asymmetry or eyelid heaviness. Not for pregnant or breastfeeding patients. Your full medical history is reviewed at the consult.
