Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Botox - Glabella (Between Eyes).

Most clients see noticeable smoothing within 3–7 days, with full effect by two weeks. Results generally last three to four months, though individual metabolism and dosing affect duration. Regular maintenance treatments prolong benefits and can reduce required dose over time.

Discomfort is minimal for most people; injections are quick and often described as brief pinches. Topical numbing or ice can be used to reduce sensitivity. Your provider will use fine needles and gentle technique to maximize comfort and safety throughout the appointment.

Common temporary side effects include mild bruising, redness, swelling, or tenderness at injection sites. Headache is rare. Serious complications are uncommon when performed by experienced clinicians. Follow aftercare instructions and report prolonged or worsening symptoms immediately for evaluation.

Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, and facial massages for 24 hours to reduce product migration and bruising risk. Gentle cleansing and makeup are fine after a few hours. Follow specific provider recommendations based on your treatment and response.

When administered with appropriate dosing and placement, Botox softens frown lines while preserving natural facial movement. Experienced injectors aim for balanced results so you can still convey expression without deep furrows, avoiding the “frozen” appearance.

Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements like aspirin, ibuprofen, and fish oil for several days if medically appropriate. Arrive with clean skin and share your medical history, medications, and prior cosmetic treatments so the provider can customize a safe plan.
