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 is commonly used to improve the appearance of lines and concerns caused by repeated facial movement. During your consultation, your provider will evaluate which areas are contributing most to your concerns and whether Botox is the right option.
Botox is often recommended for conditions 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
Eyebrow Lift
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
Bunny Lines
Wrinkles that appear along the sides of your nose when you laugh or scrunch your face. Subtle, but they bother some people more than others.
Gummy Smile
When your upper lip rises higher than you’d like, showing more gum than you’re comfortable with. Botox can relax the muscles that lift the lip, creating a more balanced smile. Learn more about Gummy Smile
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
Lip Lines
Fine vertical lines around the mouth — sometimes called smoker’s lines, though most people who have them have never smoked. Botox can soften these by relaxing the muscles around the lips. Learn more about Lip Lines
Downturned Mouth & Marionette Lines
The corners of your mouth can turn downward over time, sometimes creating lines that run toward the chin. Botox can relax the muscles responsible, softening the downturn and the lines that follow.
Chin Dimpling
A puckered or “orange peel” texture on the chin caused by overactive muscle movement. Botox relaxes the muscle, smoothing the skin’s appearance.
Masseter (Jaw Slimming / TMJ)
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.
Jaw Line & Neck Bands
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
Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)
Botox isn’t just for wrinkles. It can significantly reduce excessive sweating in the underarms, hands, or feet by blocking the signals that trigger sweat glands. Learn more about Excessive Sweating
Your provider will help determine which areas can be safely and effectively treated and create a plan that fits your facial structure and goals.
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 where you receive it matters.

Our focus is on safety, natural results, and long-term skin health.
Botox does not stop aging. It helps soften the signs of it.

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.

What are the side effects of BOTOX®?
The most common side effects include headache, respiratory infection, flu symptoms, temporary eyelid droop, and nausea. In addition, there may be some temporary soreness around the injection area.
BOTOX® Injection Process
During your initial consultation, the doctor will examine your targeted area and recommend the best option available for you.
Pre-Procedure Instruction for BOTOX®:
Avoid products containing aspirin or ibuprofen for ten days prior to treatment with BOTOX® in order to minimize any chances of bruising. Do NOT stop aspirin if it has been prescribed by your physician.
Post-Procedure Instruction for BOTOX®:
After treatment, you should remain upright for six hours. Keep your head as erect as possible during this time and avoid bending down.
For six hours after BOTOX® injection, avoid:
Don’t fly on an airplane for 2 days after BOTOX® treatment.
Exercise the injected area 10 times every 15 minutes for the first hour by squinting the eyes, frowning, or wrinkling the forehead depending on the area injected. These exercises help work the BOTOX® into the muscles to increase the effectiveness of treatment.
How long does it take for BOTOX® to work & how long does it last?
You may begin to see results within 48 to 72 hours. The optimum results will be reached at 7 to 10 days.
The duration of BOTOX® will vary from patient to patient. Typically, BOTOX® will last approximately 4 months once a patient has had consistent treatment. We tell our patients that the first treatment with BOTOX® will last about 2 and a half months, the second time about 3 months and after that every 3.5 to 4.5 months. We recommend that you stay up on your injections for the best results at eliminating wrinkles.

Will my facial expressions continue to look naturally?
Although the results are visible, a treatment with BOTOX will not radically change your facial appearance or make you look as if you “had the work” done. The muscle activity that causes the lines is simply reduced, so you can still frown or look surprised without the wrinkles and creases.
It will take time for your wrinkles to go away. The skin will often repair the wrinkles on it’s own with adequate and consistent treatment with Botox.vvvvvvvvvv
What will happen to the lines if I choose not to continue treatment?
If you don’t continue treatments, the lines will gradually return and look like they did before treatment.
