What to Expect During and After Botox Treatment at Lenoy Medical Spa

Botox has long been celebrated for its ability to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, offering a youthful, rejuvenated look without the need for surgery. At Lenoy Medical Spa, we offer expert Botox treatments in a calm, professional environment designed to help you look and feel your best. Whether you're considering Botox for the first time or returning for maintenance, understanding what to expect during and after treatment will ensure a smoother, more comfortable experience.

Introduction to Botox and Its Benefits

Botox, derived from Botulinum toxin type A, is a neuromodulator that temporarily relaxes muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles—such as frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead creases. Botox is FDA-approved and widely recognized for its safety and effectiveness when administered by trained professionals like those at Lenoy Medical Spa. It’s a go-to anti-aging treatment that delivers noticeable results with minimal downtime.

How to Prepare for Your Botox Appointment

Preparation starts with a consultation. At Lenoy Medical Spa, we review your medical history, discuss your aesthetic goals, and examine your facial structure. Based on this, we tailor a personalized Botox treatment plan.

Do’s Before Treatment:

Stay hydrated

Inform your provider about any medications, supplements, or health conditions

Avoid alcohol and anti-inflammatory drugs (aspirin, ibuprofen) for 24–48 hours to minimize bruising

Don’ts Before Treatment:

Don’t get Botox if you're pregnant or breastfeeding

Don’t schedule right before a big event to allow for potential mild side effects

What Happens During the Botox Procedure?

The actual procedure is quick and nearly painless. Here’s what to expect:

Step-by-Step Overview:

The provider cleanses the treatment area

A fine needle is used to inject small amounts of Botox into targeted muscles

The procedure usually takes 10–20 minutes

Most clients describe the sensation as a tiny pinch or mosquito bite. There is no need for anesthesia, and you can return to most daily activities immediately afterward.

Immediate Aftercare: The First 24–48 Hours

Post-treatment, it’s normal to experience slight swelling, redness, or minor bruising around the injection sites. These symptoms typically subside within a day or two.

Aftercare Tips:

Stay upright for at least 4 hours post-treatment

Avoid touching or massaging the treated area

Refrain from strenuous exercise for 24 hours

Don’t expose your skin to direct heat or sunlight

Your provider will give you a complete aftercare guide to ensure optimal results.

Visible Results Timeline: When Will You See Changes?

Botox does not produce instant results. Here’s a general timeline:

Day 1–3: Minimal visible change

Day 4–7: Gradual muscle relaxation

Day 7–14: Full results become apparent

The effects typically last 3 to 4 months, after which muscle activity gradually returns. Regular maintenance sessions help prolong the benefits.

Common Side Effects and How to Manage Them

While side effects are rare when Botox is performed by licensed professionals, some clients may experience:

Redness or swelling at injection sites

Bruising

Mild headache

Temporary facial asymmetry (rare)

Managing Side Effects:

Use a cold compress for swelling

Avoid makeup for 24 hours

Contact your provider if symptoms persist or worsen

Essential Post-Treatment Skincare Tips

One of the most important parts of post-Botox care is protecting your skin from UV rays. This is where Clear Daily Soothing UV Defense SPF 50 comes in.

Why Use Clear Daily Soothing UV Defense SPF 50?

High protection: Shields skin from UVA/UVB damage

Soothing formula: Calms redness and irritation

Non-comedogenic: Won’t clog pores, safe for all skin types

Applying this SPF daily helps maintain the integrity of your results and promotes healthy, radiant skin.

Combining Botox with Other Treatments

Botox works beautifully as part of a holistic skincare regimen. At Lenoy Medical Spa, many clients combine Botox with:

Dermal fillers for volume restoration

Hydrafacial for deep hydration

Microneedling for skin texture improvement

Your provider can recommend a customized treatment plan based on your skin concerns and goals.

When to Book Your Next Session

Most clients return for follow-up treatments every 3 to 4 months. Scheduling your next appointment before the effects completely wear off can help maintain a smoother appearance consistently.

Our team at Lenoy Medical Spa will help set a long-term maintenance schedule that fits your lifestyle.
