Botox in Houston: Frequently Asked Questions

What happens during Botox injections?

Botox treatments are performed in our Houston clinic and typically take 15 to 30 minutes. Here’s what to expect:

Preparation: The area is cleaned, and a topical anesthetic may be applied if needed.
Precise Injections: Using a small, fine needle, Botox is injected into targeted muscles to reduce activity and smooth wrinkles.
Minimal Discomfort: Patients usually experience a slight pinch or pressure.
Post-Treatment Care: Avoid massaging or rubbing the treated areas for several hours. Stay upright for at least 4 hours after the procedure to allow Botox to settle properly.

What is recovery like with Botox, when will I see results?

There is minimal if any downtime, observing the following recommendations for the first 24 hours will help keep the injections from spreading until fully absorbed.

Avoid massaging or applying external pressure in treated areas.
Avoid excessive heat exposure, including showers and baths.
Avoid strenuous exercise or other physical activities.
Avoid lying flat and keep the treatment area elevated while resting.

Mild bruising, swelling or irritation at the injection sites may occur and is temporary. When used as an aesthetic treatment to minimize the appearance of crow’s feet or other expression lines,

the results of Botox are often noticed starting five to seven days after treatment and become fully effective after two weeks.

Are there risks with Botox?

Beyond the temporary after-effects of bruising or irritation at the injection site, other side-effects include headache or flu-like symptoms, eyelid or eyebrow droop, muscle weakness or other concerns with symmetry can occur, but are often resolved without intervention within two to three weeks following treatment.

Botox has an excellent safety record and allergic reactions are rare. Choosing a qualified medical provider who is experienced in advanced injection techniques greatly minimizes the potential for complications, many of which are the result of poorly administered injections.

How long does Botox last?

Results from Botox typically last 3 to 4 months. Over time, the muscle activity gradually returns, and lines may reappear. Regular maintenance treatments help preserve your refreshed look and keep dynamic wrinkles from becoming deeper.

How much do Botox injections in Houston cost?

The cost of Botox varies depending on the number of units required and the number of areas treated. For medical Botox (e.g., for migraines or excessive sweating), insurance may cover part or all of the cost. A personalized estimate will be provided during your consultation.
