Before & After Photos
At IconMD Medical Spa & Laser Center, we like to focus on the after results because how you look and feel post-treatment is what counts the most.
What is Botox?
Botox, short for botulinum toxin, is a purified protein derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. When administered in small, controlled units, this cosmetic neuromodulator temporarily relaxes specific muscles, reducing their activity. This action helps to soften wrinkles and lines, particularly those caused by repetitive facial expressions over time.
Botox is most commonly used for cosmetic treatments, such as treating crow’s feet around the eyes, frown lines between the brows (glabellar lines), and horizontal forehead creases. Additionally, it can effectively address chin wrinkles, smoker’s lines, bunny lines on the nose, and other dynamic wrinkles.

- Smile Lines/Frown Lines: Botox can soften vertical lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) and around the mouth, reducing the appearance of frown lines.
- Crow’s Feet: Botox injections can diminish the fine lines and wrinkles that radiate from the outer corners of the eyes.
- Neck: Botox can be used to relax neck muscles and reduce the appearance of horizontal lines and bands.
- Under Eyes: Botox can improve the appearance of under-eye wrinkles and fine lines by relaxing the muscles around the eyes.

Am I a Good Candidate for Botox?
If you want to reduce the visible signs of aging caused by dynamic wrinkles, which are wrinkles formed by repeated muscle contractions, then you are an ideal candidate for Botox treatments at IconMD Medical Spa + Laser Center. Good candidates for Botox injections are generally in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the results. It is crucial to note that Botox may not be suitable for individuals with certain neuromuscular disorders or allergies to the toxin.
Your Botox Consultation
A physical examination of your target areas will be performed during your Botox consultation at IconMD Medical Spa + Laser Center. An assessment of your medical history and a discussion of your concerns and expectations will be conducted to determine whether Botox is a suitable treatment option. An explanation of the treatment process, including potential side effects, will be given so you can make informed decisions. If you have any questions and concerns, this is the best time to ask them.
The Botox Treatment Session
Botox treatment starts with cleansing the skin thoroughly to minimize the chance of infection. The patient’s face will be carefully examined to identify the specific areas the botox injections will be. These areas will be marked with a temporary pen to ensure accurate delivery of the injections.
Using a fine needle, Botox injections will be administered into the predetermined areas of the face. The number of units will depend on the extent of the treatment and the specific areas being targeted. The injections themselves are typically described as feeling like a small pinch or mosquito bite and are generally well-tolerated by most patients. Botox treatments can take as little as 15 to 30 minutes.
Botox Aftercare
Following your Botox treatment, it’s important to adhere to certain aftercare guidelines to optimize results and minimize potential side effects. While Botox injections are generally safe, some clients may experience mild side effects such as temporary redness, bruising, or swelling at the injection site. To alleviate any discomfort, we recommend applying ice packs and avoiding strenuous activities for the first 24 hours post-treatment. Additionally, refraining from touching or rubbing the treated area and avoiding alcohol and blood-thinning medications can help ensure optimal results.
The full effects of Botox become noticeable within a few days to a week, and the results typically last for three to four months. Our team of experienced practitioners is always available to provide guidance and support throughout the Botox aftercare process, ensuring a smooth and satisfying experience for our clients.
How Much Does Botox Cost?
The cost of Botox injectable treatment can vary depending on various factors, including the number of treatment areas. Botox is typically priced per unit, so the overall price can be affected by the number of units required for the desired results.
FAQs About Botox
How does Botox work?
Botox works by temporarily blocking nerve signals to the muscles, preventing them from contracting. This results in a temporary reduction in muscle activity, which smooths out wrinkles and fine lines on the skin’s surface.
What are the side effects of Botox?
Common side effects of Botox include temporary redness, swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort at the injection site. Rarely, more serious side effects such as drooping eyelids or difficulty swallowing can occur, but these are typically temporary.
How long does Botox last?
The effects of Botox typically last for 3 to 4 months, after which muscle activity gradually returns, and wrinkles may begin to reappear. Consistent treatments can lead to longer-lasting results over time.
What areas can Botox treat?
Botox is commonly used to treat wrinkles and fine lines on the forehead, between the eyebrows (glabellar lines), and around the eyes (crow’s feet). It can also be used for various other cosmetic and therapeutic purposes, such as treating TMJ, reducing neck bands, and slimming the jawline.
How soon can you see results after Botox?
Most people start to see results within 3 to 5 days after receiving Botox injections, with full effects typically visible within 1 to 2 weeks.
Is Botox safe?
When administered by a qualified and experienced medical professional, Botox is considered safe for most individuals. However, as with any medical procedure, there are potential risks and side effects to consider.
What age should you start getting Botox?
There is no specific age requirement for starting Botox treatments. Many individuals begin getting Botox injections in their late 20s to early 30s as a preventive measure against wrinkles and fine lines, while others may start later in life to address existing signs of aging.
Can you get Botox while pregnant?
It is generally recommended to avoid Botox treatments during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, as there is limited research on the safety of Botox injections during these periods. It’s essential to consult with your healthcare provider before considering any cosmetic procedures while pregnant or breastfeeding.
How many units of Botox do I need?
The number of units of Botox needed varies depending on factors such as the treatment area, the severity of wrinkles, and individual muscle strength. A qualified medical professional will assess your needs during a consultation and recommend the appropriate number of units to achieve the desired results. Generally, treatment for each area typically ranges from 10 to 50 units.
BOTOX VS. dysport
When comparing Dysport to Botox, both are injectable neurotoxins used for cosmetic purposes to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Dysport contains a slightly different formulation of botulinum toxin type A and tends to have a faster onset of action, with results appearing within a few days. On the other hand, Botox typically takes a bit longer to show results but may last slightly longer in some individuals. The choice between Dysport and Botox often depends on individual preferences and treatment goals.
BOTOX VS. Xeomin
Xeomin is another injectable neurotoxin that shares similarities with Botox in terms of its mechanism of action and intended use for wrinkle reduction. However, Xeomin contains only the active ingredient botulinum toxin type A without any additives, which may result in a reduced risk of antibody formation and potential resistance over time. While Xeomin may have a slightly slower onset of action compared to Botox, some individuals prefer it for its purified formulation. Ultimately, the choice between Xeomin and Botox depends on factors such as individual response, preference, and treatment goals, and should be made in consultation with a qualified healthcare provider.
