A confident, refreshed look—without looking “done”
What Botox treats best (and what it doesn’t)
- Frown lines (the “11s” between the brows)
- Forehead expression lines
- Crow’s feet (smile lines at the outer corners of the eyes)
How long does Botox last?
| Factor | How it can affect longevity |
|---|---|
| Treatment area & muscle strength | Stronger, more active muscles may “work through” Botox sooner. |
| Your metabolism & lifestyle | Some people naturally process the product faster; intense workouts can correlate with shorter duration for certain patients. |
| First-time vs. repeat treatments | Many people find their timing becomes more predictable after the first 1–2 sessions. |
| Dose & placement precision | A personalized plan can help you keep movement where you want it, while smoothing the spots you don’t. |

Step-by-step: How to get the most natural-looking Botox results
1) Know your “why” before you book
2) Plan your appointment with “settling time” in mind
3) Follow simple aftercare for smoother, more predictable results
- Stay upright for several hours after treatment
- Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated areas
- Skip intense exercise for about 24 hours
