Some people start in their twenties or thirties for prevention. Others start later for visible softening. The best plan depends on your facial movement and your goals.

We focus on long term consistency, not extremes. The goal is to build a look you love and maintain it with smart timing.
Before treatment
We review your medical history, your goals, and any prior toxin experience. Photos may be taken to help track progress over time. Your provider will explain the plan and review aftercare.
During treatment
Injections are quick and precise. Most patients describe the feeling as small pinches. Your provider will guide you through each area as you go.
After treatment
You will receive clear aftercare instructions. Many people start seeing early changes within several days, with full results typically settling in around two weeks. Your provider will recommend an ideal maintenance schedule based on your goals and how your muscles respond.
Results often last about 3 to 4 months, but timing can vary based on muscle strength, dosing, and individual metabolism.
Many patients notice changes in 3 to 5 days, with results continuing to develop and settle over about 10 to 14 days.
Our approach is designed to soften lines while preserving expression. Dosing and placement are customized to keep results natural.
There is no universal number. We recommend units based on your facial movement, anatomy, and goals.
Most patients find it very tolerable. It is usually quick pinches, and treatment is fast.

Your provider will tell you when to return to workouts based on your plan and the areas treated.
