What to Expect From Your First Botox Appointment

4 min read

Botox is one of the most requested treatments at Glo de Vie, and for good reason — it delivers noticeable results with minimal downtime. Here is what most first-time clients want to know.

What happens during the appointment

Your provider will review your facial movement and discuss the areas you want to treat. The injections themselves take only a few minutes and most clients describe the sensation as a small pinch. No anesthesia is required.

How long before you see results

Botox typically takes 3 to 7 days to start working, with full results visible around 14 days. Results last approximately 3 to 4 months depending on the area treated and your individual metabolism.

Aftercare

Avoid lying down for 4 hours after treatment. Do not massage or apply pressure to treated areas. Avoid strenuous exercise and excessive heat for 24 hours. Stay out of the sun and wear SPF daily.

If you have questions specific to your treatment goals, a consultation with our team is the best first step.
