You’ll have the “reappearance” of your more youthful face. In a personalized consultation with your trained professional injector, you’ll be able to discuss the best plan for you.

Because Botox is a nonsurgical cosmetic treatment, you can schedule your first appointment on a free afternoon or even during your lunch hour. You’ll be able to return to work if necessary. The typical Botox injections treatment session takes about 20 to 30 minutes. The treatment is administered with such tiny needles that the treatment causes little discomfort. A topical anesthetic can be used if you choose.
Some redness and swelling may occur but will disappear within days as your smoother more youthful skin “reappears”. The active ingredient in Botox injections “paralyzes” or stops the natural muscle movement that creates different facial expressions, and fine lines and wrinkles will “ease” and appear smoother. It’s never “too late” to start your journey to a younger looking you.
Will Botox Hurt?
Botox is an FDA approved non surgical injectable cosmetic treatment and is administered with such small needles that there is very little discomfort or pain. If you are particularly “needle-shy,” there are a couple of options for you.
A topical anesthetic cream can be administered to the treatment area to numb the skin before treatment. Alternatively cold packs can be placed on the treatment area for approximately 15 minutes before your professionally trained DermaTouch RN injector administers your Botox cosmetic injectable.
How to avoid Botox side effects
Post treatment, you may feel a little bit of soreness and experience a little redness or swelling. With time, your before and after Botox photos will make your beauty journey worthwhile. With Botox 11 lines, those “pesky” worry and frown lines between your eyebrows will ease, smooth and disappear.

Botox has been FDA approved since 2002
An FDA approved nonsurgical cosmetic treatment since 2002, Botox injectables are the #1 cosmetic nonsurgical treatment in the world. Over 6.2 million Botox injections were administered by doctors, physician assistants and professionally trained nurse injectors around the world in 2019 alone.
The Botox cosmetic injectable active ingredient was approved for medical uses, such as uncontrolled muscle spasms, as early as 1989. What a wonderful discovery for the beauty world, and a significant 2002 FDA approval for a cosmetic injectable treatment.
Can you stop Botox?
If you are one of a handful of clients who choose to discontinue Botox after starting this #1 nonsurgical cosmetic treatment in the world, you can. But can you stop Botox safely? Absolutely!
There is no harm in stopping Botox treatments though some clients are surprised to see their more mature faces return. The fine lines and wrinkles that were eased and smoothed by this accessible and affordable injectable treatment will gradually relax back to what is referred to as your “baseline”, the facial lines that existed before you began your Botox cosmetic treatment.
How often should you get Botox?
The number of units of Botox that you will need depends on your specific beauty goals and the number of areas that you choose to treat with Botox cosmetic injectables. The areas of the face that are typically treated with Botox cosmetic injectables are the crow’s feet, or smile lines at the corners of the eyes, the horizontal lines that appear on the forehead and the glabellar or “11” lines between the eyebrows.
Botox results last for approximately 3 to 4 months, at which time, additional Botox injections are required to maintain results. In addition, some need Botox injection touch-up after an initial or follow-up treatment to ensure optimal results.
