At Face Forward Medical Aesthetics we believe your appearance should reflect how youthful and vibrant you feel — not how time or stress shows on your face. If you’re noticing forehead lines, crow’s feet, or frown creases that no skincare routine seems to erase, it might be time to consider the power of Botox® injections.
Why Botox?
Wrinkles and fine lines are often caused by repeated muscle contractions beneath the skin — for example, frowning, squinting, or raising your eyebrows. Over time, these movements create dynamic lines that can gradually become visible even when your face is at rest. Botox is a minimally invasive treatment that targets these underlying muscle actions. By relaxing the muscles that cause the creases, the skin smooths out, giving you a more refreshed, natural‑looking appearance.
How the Treatment Works
The process is straightforward. During a personalized consultation at our Lexington clinic, one of our experienced medical professionals evaluates your unique facial anatomy and discusses your aesthetic goals. Then, using ultra‑fine needles, we inject precise doses of Botox into key muscle groups — typically the forehead, glabella (between the brows), and the outer corners of the eyes (crow’s feet). Because the procedure is quick (often under 20 minutes) and requires no downtime, many patients schedule it conveniently around their busy lives.
What to Expect & When You’ll See Results
Most patients notice improvements within three to seven days, with fuller effect appearing by the two‑week mark. The results generally last around three to four months — though individual results vary based on factors like metabolism and facial muscle activity. To maintain smooth, wrinkle‑free skin, many clients return to our office every 3‑4 months.
