What to Expect at Your First Botox Appointment

A Botox appointment is quick, straightforward, and low stress, especially when handled by experienced medical professionals. At Rejuvenation Dermatology, we make sure your treatment is as smooth as possible, from start to finish. 

Step-by-Step Overview of the Botox Process

1. Personal Consultation

Every Botox appointment begins with a discussion of your goals. We review your medical history, ask about any previous treatments, and determine the right injection sites and dosage to match your facial anatomy and desired results.

2. Facial Assessment and Mapping

We carefully examine your facial expressions and muscle movement to decide where Botox will be most effective. Small markings may be made on your skin to guide injection placement.

3. Preparing the Skin

The treatment area is gently cleaned. No anesthesia is typically required, but a topical numbing agent may be applied if requested, especially if you're nervous or sensitive.

4. Botox Injections

Using a very fine needle, our injector precisely delivers small units of Botox into the targeted muscles. This usually takes 10–15 minutes. Most patients describe the sensation as a slight pinch or pressure.

5. Post-Injection Review

After the injections, your provider will review aftercare steps with you and answer any last-minute questions. There’s no downtime required, and you can head back to your day with minimal restrictions.

Aftercare & What to Expect

After your Botox appointment, avoid rubbing the area or lying down flat for about 4–6 hours. You should also skip strenuous exercise and alcohol for the rest of the day. Mild swelling, redness, or small bumps may appear temporarily but typically fade within a few hours.

Results will begin to show in 3–5 days, with full effects developing over 10–14 days. Most patients enjoy smoother, refreshed skin for 3–4 months before needing a touch-up.
