BOTOX® at Lazaderm Medical Spa
If you’re looking into Botox, you’re probably not trying to look like a different person. Most people just want to look more rested. Maybe less tired. Maybe less stressed. Basically, like you got better sleep than you actually did.
That’s a pretty reasonable goal.
Botox has been used safely for decades, and when it’s done correctly, it softens lines without changing how you look or how your face moves. At Lazaderm, we approach Botox as a medical treatment, not a trend, and every plan starts with understanding your face, your goals, and what will look natural on you.
Botox is a purified protein that temporarily relaxes specific facial muscles. These are the muscles that create expression lines from repeated movement, like frowning, squinting, or raising your eyebrows.
By relaxing those muscles, Botox helps smooth:
It does not fill the skin, freeze your face, or change your features when it’s administered properly. The goal is balance, not stiffness.
Botox works well for adults who want to soften dynamic wrinkles, meaning lines that appear when your face moves. Some patients start Botox in their late 20s or 30s as a preventative measure. Others begin later to reduce the appearance of existing lines.
It may be a good option if:
It may not be ideal for everyone. During your consultation, your provider will review your medical history, facial anatomy, and expectations to make sure Botox is appropriate for you.
Botox results depend less on the product itself and more on how thoughtfully it’s used.
A quality Botox experience should feel collaborative and measured, not rushed or standardized. The best outcomes come from providers who prioritize long-term facial harmony over short-term changes.
Botox is most often chosen to soften lines that develop from repeated facial movement over time. These changes are not caused by skin quality alone, but by how underlying muscles contract during expression.
During a consultation, your provider evaluates which movements are contributing most to your concerns and whether Botox is the appropriate approach.
Botox is commonly used to address concerns such as:
Forehead Lines
Horizontal lines that form from raising your eyebrows over time. Often one of the first areas people notice as expressions start to leave their mark.
Frown Lines (Glabellum)
Vertical lines between your eyebrows — sometimes called your “11’s” — that can make you look tense or tired, even when you’re not. Learn more about Frown Lines
Subtle brow heaviness or asymmetry
As we age, brows can sit lower than they used to. Botox can relax the muscles that pull down on the brow, allowing a subtle lift — typically a few millimeters, but enough to open up the eye area.
Crow's Feet Text
Fine lines around the outer corners of your eyes that appear when you smile or squint. Most people consider them a sign of a life well-lived — but that doesn’t mean you have to keep them. Learn more about Crow’s Feet
Lip Flip
Lip Flip Text: A subtle alternative to lip filler. Botox relaxes the muscle along the upper lip, allowing it to roll slightly outward and show more of the pink. No added volume — just a softer, fuller appearance. Learn more about Thin Lips
Jaw tension related to muscle overactivity
The masseter is the muscle you clench when you’re stressed or grinding your teeth. Botox can slim a square jawline, ease TMJ discomfort, and reduce teeth grinding over time.
Neck banding caused by muscle contraction
The platysma muscle runs from your jaw down your neck. When it becomes prominent, it can create visible bands or pull down on the jawline. Botox can relax it, softening the bands and creating a cleaner jaw contour. Learn more about Jowls
Not every concern benefits from Botox alone. Some areas respond better to alternative or complementary treatments, which is why an individualized evaluation is essential.
This is one of the first questions people ask, and understandably so.
Botox injections use a very fine needle. Most patients describe the sensation as a quick pinch or pressure that lasts only a few seconds. The entire treatment typically takes about 10 to 15 minutes.
No anesthesia is required, and you can return to normal activities the same day.
There’s little to no downtime with Botox.
You may notice:
These usually resolve quickly. Your provider will give you clear aftercare instructions, including when to resume exercise and what to avoid for the rest of the day.
Results begin to appear within a few days, with full effects typically visible around two weeks.
Botox results are temporary. Most patients enjoy results for about three to four months, though this can vary depending on muscle strength, metabolism, and treatment area.
With consistent treatments, many patients find their results last longer over time because the targeted muscles become less active.
Botox is a medical treatment, and it is approached as such at Lazaderm.
Every Botox plan begins with a medical consultation to ensure the treatment is appropriate, safe, and aligned with your goals. Treatments are performed by licensed medical professionals following medically guided protocols designed to prioritize natural movement and facial balance.
Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach, providers consider facial anatomy, muscle strength, and long-term outcomes before recommending treatment. This conservative, physician-directed model helps support results that look natural now and continue to age well over time.
Botox does not stop aging. It helps soften the signs of it.
You will still look like yourself. You will still have expressions. You just may look more refreshed, relaxed, and less bothered by lines that used to catch your eye in the mirror.
If you’re unsure whether Botox is right for you, that’s completely normal. A consultation allows you to ask questions, understand options, and decide without pressure.
The best way to know if Botox is right for your goals is to speak with a provider in person.
A consultation at Lazaderm gives you the opportunity to:
Your journey starts with a complimentary consultation led by a licensed medical provider. We’ll answer your questions, explain treatment options, and design a plan that fits your comfort and care.

Will Botox® make my face look frozen?
When administered thoughtfully, Botox does not eliminate expression. The goal is to soften excessive movement while preserving natural facial dynamics.
How soon will I notice changes after Botox® treatments?
Most patients begin to see results within a few days, with full effects developing over about two weeks.
How long do Botox® results typically last?
Results usually last three to four months. Duration varies based on muscle activity, metabolism, and treatment area.
Is Botox® something I have to continue forever?
No. Botox is optional and temporary. If you choose not to continue, muscle movement gradually returns to its baseline without worsening existing lines.
Is a consultation required?
Yes. A consultation ensures Botox is appropriate for your anatomy, goals, and medical history before any treatment is performed.
