Relax Facial Muscles for
Youthful Skin

BOTOX is an FDA-approved neuromodulator made from a purified protein that temporarily relaxes specific facial muscles to soften the appearance of wrinkles. These are the lines that form from repeated expressions like frowning, smiling, or squinting. When injected by skilled providers, BOTOX smooths areas such as the forehead, between the brows, and around the eyes, without freezing your natural expressions. At Invigue, every BOTOX treatment is customized to preserve your unique look while giving you a youthful appearance.

BOTOX Treats:

  • Frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines)
  • Forehead wrinkles caused by repeated expressions
  • Crow’s feet around the outer corners of the eyes
  • Bunny lines on the sides of the nose
  • Lip lines and a gummy smile
  • Chin dimpling (orange peel texture)
  • Neck bands (platysmal bands)

How Does BOTOX Work?

BOTOX works by temporarily blocking the communication between nerves and the muscles they control. When injected into targeted facial muscles, it stops the signal that tells the muscle to contract. This relaxation helps smooth out the wrinkles that form from repeated movements like frowning or squinting.

The effect is localized, meaning only the treated muscles are affected, allowing the surrounding muscles to move normally. Regular treatments help maintain smoother, more youthful-looking skin over time.

Benefits of BOTOX:

  • Softens dynamic wrinkles and expression lines
  • Delivers natural-looking, refreshed results
  • Quick treatment with minimal discomfort
  • No downtime, so you can return to your day right after
  • Customizable for your unique facial anatomy
  • Can be used preventively in younger patients

Your BOTOX Experience

Your BOTOX treatment at Invigue begins with a personalized consultation where your provider carefully assesses your facial anatomy and aesthetic goals. Using a fine needle, small amounts of BOTOX are precisely injected into the targeted muscles. The procedure typically takes 10 to 15 minutes, and most patients describe the sensation as a brief, pinching sensation. Our providers use advanced techniques to ensure a natural look: never frozen or overdone. There’s no downtime, so you can resume your day immediately. You may notice slight redness, swelling, or tiny bumps at the injection sites, which usually resolve within an hour. To optimize results, avoid strenuous activity, rubbing the area, or lying down for at least four hours after the treatment. The results typically begin to appear within 3 to 5 days, with full effects visible in about two weeks. You’ll enjoy smoother, more youthful skin that lasts 3 to 4 months.

BOTOX FAQs

Is BOTOX Safe?

Yes, BOTOX is very safe when administered by trained medical professionals. It’s FDA-approved and has been used for cosmetic and medical purposes for over two decades. At Invigue, your treatment is performed by skilled providers who follow strict safety protocols to ensure optimal results with minimal risk.

Will I Look Frozen or Expressionless?

Not at all. When administered correctly, BOTOX softens fine lines and wrinkles without compromising your ability to express emotion. Our providers at Invigue use a conservative, customized approach that relaxes targeted muscles while preserving your natural facial expressions. The result is a refreshed (not frozen) appearance.

How Long Does BOTOX Last?

BOTOX typically lasts about 3 to 4 months, depending on how your body metabolizes it and the areas treated. With consistent treatments, many patients find their results last longer over time as the targeted facial muscles become less active.

When Should I Start Getting BOTOX?

You can start BOTOX in your late 20s or 30s as a preventive treatment to keep fine lines from becoming permanent. If you already have visible wrinkles, BOTOX can help smooth them and prevent deepening. Your provider will guide you based on your skin, goals, and age.

What if I Stop Getting BOTOX?

If you choose to stop BOTOX treatments, your muscles will gradually regain movement, and your skin will return to its natural aging process. You won’t look worse, just as you would have without treatment. Regular use helps delay and reduce the appearance of lines.

How Often Will I Need BOTOX?

Most people schedule BOTOX every 3 to 4 months to maintain smooth, youthful results. If you’re consistent with treatments, you may notice that your wrinkles return more gradually and require fewer units over time. Your provider will help you plan the ideal schedule.
