Look Fresh, Feel Confident
Discover How Botox® Can Refresh Your Look
Botox® is a purified form of botulinum toxin type A, FDA-approved for cosmetic use. It works by temporarily relaxing the facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles—those caused by expressions like frowning, squinting, or smiling. Over time, repeated muscle movement can create visible lines and creases, most commonly in the forehead, between the eyebrows (glabellar lines), and around the eyes (crow’s feet).
At Royal You Med Spa, we offer expertly administered Botox® treatments to help you look refreshed, relaxed, and naturally rejuvenated. Whether you’re looking to soften existing lines or prevent new ones from forming, Botox® is a trusted and effective solution.
What Is Botox Used For?
Cosmetic uses of Botox include:
Reducing forehead lines
Softening frown lines (the “11s”)
Diminishing crow’s feet
Lifting the brow
Smoothing bunny lines on the nose
Reducing chin dimpling and neck bands
Slimming the jawline (masseter reduction)
Lip flip for a subtle enhancement
Botox can also be used therapeutically for:
Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis)
Teeth grinding (bruxism)
Migraines
How Does Botox® Work?
Botox® blocks the nerve signals that cause muscles to contract. When injected into specific facial muscles, it temporarily stops them from moving, which allows the overlying skin to smooth out and reduces the appearance of wrinkles. The effects are localized, precise, and typically appear within 3–7 days after treatment, with full results in about 10–14 days.
Downtime and Recovery
Botox® requires little to no downtime, making it a popular “lunchtime” procedure. You can return to most of your normal activities immediately after your appointment. Some clients experience minor redness or swelling at the injection sites, which usually resolves within a few hours.
Potential Side Effects
Botox® is generally well-tolerated, especially when administered by a trained medical professional. Common, temporary side effects may include:
- Mild redness or bruising at injection sites
- Headache
- Temporary muscle weakness near the injection area
Rare side effects include eyelid drooping or asymmetry, which typically resolve on their own.
Aftercare Recommendations
To get the best results and minimize side effects:
Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area for at least 24 hours
Stay upright for 4–6 hours post-treatment
Avoid strenuous activity, heat exposure, or alcohol for 24 hours
Wait at least two weeks before scheduling any facial treatments or massages
When to Expect Results
Initial results may be seen within 3–5 days, with full effects visible by 10–14 days. Botox® typically lasts 3 to 4 months, depending on your metabolism and the treatment area. Regular maintenance treatments can help you maintain a smooth, youthful appearance year-round.
