Does Botox hurt, and will I look frozen?
Will I look frozen?
Not when the dose is matched to the area. Tell your provider how much movement you want to keep. A lighter dose preserves more movement, and more can be added at a later visit.
Does Botox hurt?
Most people feel a brief pinch at each injection point. The needle is very fine, and the injections take a few minutes. Small raised spots at the injection sites settle soon after.
How much does Botox cost?
Cost depends on the areas treated and the dose each one requires. It is quoted at your consult.
What sets the cost of Botox
What Botox treats
Botox treats dynamic lines: lines that form when facial muscles move.
Botox does not add volume or lift lax skin. Static lines, which remain when your face is at rest, may need dermal fillers or microneedling as well.

The two vertical creases between the brows that deepen when you frown.
Forehead lines
The horizontal lines that form when you raise your eyebrows.
Crow's feet
The lines at the outer corners of the eyes that form when you smile or squint.

How long does Botox last?
For most people, Botox lasts about three to four months. Muscle movement returns gradually, and the lines return with it. Many people schedule their next treatment at that point.
Duration depends on the area treated, the dose and the strength of the muscle. More on timing in how long Botox lasts.

We call or text you back during opening hours.Botox and Dysport
At our Oak Lawn clinic we offer Botox and Dysport. Both are wrinkle relaxers and work the same way. Your injector suggests one for your areas at the consult. Compare Botox vs Dysport.
We also offer the lip flip: a small dose placed just above the upper lip, so more of the lip shows when you smile. See lip flip vs lip filler.

Tell your provider before treatment if any of these apply. You may need to wait.
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You have a nerve or muscle (neuromuscular) condition.

How does Botox work?
Botox is a prescription botulinum toxin, a wrinkle relaxer. It is injected into the small muscles that crease the skin when you frown, squint or raise your brows. As those muscles relax, the lines soften. At Magic FemTouch MedSpa in Oak Lawn, your provider sets the dose for each area. The full effect appears in about two weeks.

Questions
Botox questions
How long does Botox last?
For most people, about three to four months. Muscle movement and lines return gradually as it wears off. Your provider advises when to schedule the next treatment.
When will I see Botox results?
Most people notice a change within a few days. The full effect appears at about two weeks. Schedule treatment at least two weeks before an important event.
What is the 4-hour rule for Botox?
It means staying upright for about four hours after your injections and not rubbing the area. This helps keep the product where it was placed. Your provider reviews aftercare before you leave.
Who is not a good candidate for Botox?
People who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or who have a nerve or muscle condition, should wait. So should anyone with an infection in the treatment area. Your provider reviews your medical history at the consult.
Do you age faster after stopping Botox?
No. When Botox wears off, the muscles return to their previous activity. The lines return to where they would have been without treatment, not further.
Can I get Botox and filler at the same visit?
Many people use both, for different areas. Botox treats lines caused by muscle movement, and filler restores volume. Your provider advises at the consult whether both can be done the same day.
