Botox®
At Beauty Refined, Botox® is used to soften expression lines and wrinkles while preserving natural facial movement. Treatments are customized to your facial anatomy and aesthetic goals, with results typically beginning within 3–5 days and lasting approximately 3–4 months. Botox® may also be used for concerns such as jaw tension, facial slimming, and excessive sweating.
Reclaim Your Look
Fine lines, forehead creases, and jaw tension do not develop overnight. They build gradually through years of repeated muscle contractions, sun exposure, and the natural decline of collagen production that comes with age. For many adults, the moment they notice these changes is also the moment they start looking for a solution that works without surgery, significant recovery, or an obvious result.
Botox® injections offer that solution. As one of the most studied and widely performed anti-aging treatments, this neuromodulator delivers visible, natural-looking results with no downtime and a 15-minute appointment that fits any schedule.
How Botox® Works
Botox® is a neuromodulator injection that temporarily blocks nerve signals to the targeted muscle, preventing the repeated contractions that cause wrinkles. Botulinum toxin type A, the active ingredient, is delivered in small, precise doses directly into the muscle as part of a wrinkle relaxer treatment that requires no anesthesia and no recovery period. The muscle relaxes as the overlying skin smooths out, and results begin to appear within 3–5 days, with full results visible at 2 weeks.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Botox®?
Healthy adults looking to soften their features, alleviate muscle-related jaw pain, or control persistent perspiration are often ideal candidates for this treatment. Many younger individuals also embrace preventative Botox® during their mid-20s, proactively managing the early signs of aging before wrinkles become deeply etched into the skin.
This procedure should be avoided for those who are pregnant, for those with specific neuromuscular disorders, or for those with known sensitivities to the formula. Your provider will conduct a comprehensive review of your health history during your consultation to confirm candidacy and determine the right approach for your goals.
What to Expect During Your First Botox® Appointment
Your first appointment at Beauty Refined begins with your provider reviewing your medical history, evaluating your facial anatomy, and discussing your goals before recommending a unit count and treatment areas. The session takes 15 minutes with no downtime, and most patients notice subtle softening within 3-5 days, with full results visible at 2 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Botox® last?
Results last 3–4 months for most patients. Touch-ups are recommended every 3–4 months to preserve consistent results. Patients who receive regular treatments often find that their results gradually improve over time as muscles learn to relax.
How quickly will I see results?
Results appear within 3–5 days, with full results visible at 2 weeks. Some patients notice subtle softening as early as day 2–3. Final results are typically fully visible by day 14.
Will I bruise after Botox®?
Most patients experience little to no bruising after neuromodulator injections. Minor swelling or pinpoint bruising at the injection site is possible and typically resolves within a few days. Avoiding alcohol and blood thinners before your appointment reduces this risk.
What are the side effects of Botox®?
Typical side effects include mild swelling, bruising, or a temporary headache. Side effects are typically minor and resolve within a few days. Serious side effects are rare when a trained provider performs treatment.
Can Botox® be combined with other treatments?
This injectable can be effectively combined with dermal fillers, chemical peels, and microneedling to enhance facial rejuvenation results. Your provider will recommend a personalized treatment plan based on your specific goals.
How many units will I need?
Most patients need 20–60 units per session, depending on the areas treated. Forehead lines typically require 10–30 units, crow’s feet 6–15 units per side, and masseter treatments 40–60 units. Your provider will determine the right unit count during your consultation.
Is this treatment suitable for younger patients?
Preventative treatment is effective starting in the mid-to-late 20s. Many younger patients use this neuromodulator to slow the progression of fine lines before they become deeply set.
What should I do before and after a neurotoxin treatment?
Avoid alcohol and blood thinners before your appointment. After treatment, avoid pressure on the treated area and intense exercise for 24 hours. Your provider will give you a full pre- and post-care guide at your appointment.
