Botox is a purified form of botulinum toxin injected into a targeted facial muscle to relax it, which softens the wrinkle that muscle's movement creates. Most first-time clients need 20 to 40 units depending on muscle strength and the areas treated, and results typically hold for 3 to 4 months. If you're weighing the cost specifically, our full cost breakdown for 20 units covers per-unit pricing and what changes the total.
The most common injection sites are the glabella (frown lines), the frontalis (forehead lines) and the orbicularis oculi (crow's feet). Dosing has to account for how much a given muscle moves day to day — someone who's naturally expressive needs a different plan than someone with a quieter resting face — and a good consultation catches that before the first injection, not after. Summer humidity here can affect how product settles in the first 24 hours, so aftercare guidance leans on avoiding heat and heavy sweating right after treatment rather than a generic one-size instruction sheet.
Botox treats wrinkles caused by muscle movement. It doesn't address static lines that stay visible even at rest — those respond better to dermal fillers, and the two are often combined for a fuller result. A two-week follow-up is standard to check how the treatment settled before deciding if any touch-up is needed.
Technician insight
The thing that catches most first-time clients out isn't the injections themselves, it's the aftercare. Heading straight into a hot, humid afternoon and sweating heavily can shift how the product settles in that first 24 hours.
Example: Treating Frown Lines
A typical frown-line case involves years of squinting or concentrating that's deepened the vertical lines between the brows. Mapping usually shows stronger muscle pull in people who spend a lot of time outdoors. Small, targeted doses soften the lines while keeping natural expression intact — the goal is movement that still looks like you, just without the crease.
