Thinking about Botox but not sure what to expect? You’re not alone. Whether you’re smoothing out fine lines or jumping into the world of injectables for the first time, it’s totally normal to feel a little nervous. The good news? With the right provider (hi, that’s us), your Botox experience can be simple, empowering, and dare we say, exciting.
At Lux Aesthetics in Magnolia, WA, our team of estheticians and injectors specializes in treatments that help you look like a more rested version of yourself. Here’s everything you need to know before your first appointment.
The Consultation: It’s All About You
Your Botox journey starts with a personalized consultation. We’ll talk about what brought you in (furrow lines, forehead creases, or a little prevention?), assess your facial anatomy, and create a plan that matches your goals. Expect honest feedback, clear guidance, and zero pressure.
This is also the time to bring up any questions or concerns like what Botox actually does (spoiler: it gently relaxes specific facial muscles), or if you’ll still be able to move your face (you absolutely will, promise).
During the Treatment: Quick and Comfortable
Most Botox appointments take about 15 to 30 minutes. After cleaning your skin, we’ll mark the injection points and use a tiny needle to deliver the product exactly where it needs to go. Clients describe the sensation as a quick pinch. It’s more like a mosquito bite than anything intense.
There’s no numbing needed, no long prep, and no downtime. You can head straight back to your day, makeup and all, with just a few minor aftercare tips to follow.
Post-Treatment: Patience Pays Off
Botox doesn’t work instantly. Results typically begin to show around 3 to 5 days after treatment, with full results generally visible by 2 weeks. You’ll notice your skin looks smoother, more refreshed, and just… softer. Not frozen. Not overdone. Just like you, with a little boost.
Most clients come in every 3 to 4 months to maintain their results.
