NATURAL LOOKING RESULTS
What is BOTOX?
BOTOX® is an FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Made from a purified protein derived from botulinum toxin type A, BOTOX works by temporarily relaxing specific facial muscles. Over time, repetitive muscle activity contributes to the formation of lines and wrinkles, especially around the eyes, forehead, and brow. By interrupting the signals between nerves and muscles, BOTOX cosmetic treatments prevent these muscles from contracting, softening the appearance of existing wrinkles and helping to create a smoother, more youthful appearance.
Unlike JUVÉDERM®, Restylane®, and other dermal fillers, which are designed to mask the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, BOTOX cosmetic treatments can help prevent wrinkles from becoming more pronounced. With a skilled injector at beyond|AESTHETICS, BOTOX treatment can be precisely customized to your needs, achieving a refreshed and natural-looking result without a “frozen” effect.

Am I a Good Candidate for BOTOX?
BOTOX is a great option for adults who want to reduce visible signs of aging, such as crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines between the brows. Ideal candidates are typically those with dynamic wrinkles, which appear during facial expressions like smiling or frowning. To be eligible for BOTOX, you should be in good health and have realistic expectations about the results.
However, BOTOX may not be suitable for everyone. People with certain medical conditions, like neuromuscular disorders, or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding should avoid BOTOX. During your consultation at beyond|AESTHETICS, we’ll review your medical history to ensure that BOTOX is a safe and effective choice for you.
Preparing for Your BOTOX Injections
Before your BOTOX treatment, you’ll have a personalized consultation with an expert injector to discuss your goals, medical history, and any questions you may have. Although there’s minimal preparation required, a few steps can help ensure the best results and reduce the risk of bruising:
Avoid blood-thinning medications, such as aspirin or ibuprofen, for about a week before your appointment.
Refrain from drinking alcohol and taking certain supplements, like fish oil or vitamin E, a few days before treatment, as they can increase bruising.
Arrive with a clean face, free of makeup or skincare products.
Your provider will give you any additional recommendations based on your unique needs to help you achieve optimal results.
The BOTOX Treatment Experience
BOTOX treatment is a quick, in-office procedure designed to fit seamlessly into your day. Your provider at beyond|AESTHETICS will begin by cleansing the target areas, and a topical numbing cream can be applied for added comfort if desired. Using an ultra-fine needle, small amounts of BOTOX are precisely injected into specific facial muscles to address areas such as crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead wrinkles.
The injection process itself typically takes just a few minutes, with minimal discomfort often described as a brief pinch. While some patients may notice slight redness or mild swelling at the injection sites, these effects generally resolve quickly. With no required downtime, you can resume your normal routine immediately following your appointment, and full results typically develop within a few days, lasting several months.
