Smooth, Refreshed, and Naturally You
Botox is the world's most popular cosmetic treatment for a reason. Our expert injectors use precise micro-dosing techniques to smooth fine lines and wrinkles while preserving your natural expressions. We believe in looking refreshed, never frozen.
What Actually Happens
We believe in complete transparency. Here's exactly what to expect during your treatment journey.
Consultation
We analyze your facial anatomy, discuss your goals, and determine the ideal injection sites and units.
Mapping
Your injector marks precise treatment points, considering your unique muscle movement patterns.
Injection
Using ultra-fine needles, small amounts of Botox are placed at strategic points. Most clients feel only a slight pinch.
Assessment
We evaluate symmetry and discuss aftercare. The entire treatment takes just 15-30 minutes.
Follow-Up
A complimentary 2-week follow-up ensures optimal results. Touch-ups if needed are included.
Results Timeline
Understanding when to expect results helps set realistic expectations for your transformation.
Days 1-3
You may notice slight swelling at injection sites. Avoid rubbing the area and stay upright for 4 hours.
Days 3-7
Botox begins to take effect. Lines start softening and movement gradually reduces in treated areas.
Weeks 2-4
Full results visible. Skin appears smoother, refreshed, and more youthful while maintaining natural expressions.
Results vary based on skin type, lifestyle, and treatment consistency.
The Science Behind It
Botox (botulinum toxin type A) works by temporarily blocking nerve signals to targeted facial muscles. When these muscles relax, the overlying skin smooths out, softening existing wrinkles and preventing new ones from forming. It's the most researched and proven anti-aging treatment in the world.
At Skin & Self, we take a conservative, artistry-driven approach. Rather than a one-size-fits-all treatment, our injectors analyze your unique facial anatomy—bone structure, muscle thickness, skin quality—to create a customized injection plan that enhances your natural beauty.
For comprehensive facial rejuvenation, many clients combine Botox with our dermal fillers for volume restoration and HydraFacial for skin quality improvement.

Common Questions
How many units of Botox will I need?
The number of units varies by treatment area and individual muscle strength. Forehead lines typically require 10-30 units, frown lines 15-25 units, and crow's feet 5-15 units per side. During your consultation, we'll determine the exact amount for your desired results.
Will I look frozen or expressionless?
Absolutely not. Our philosophy is 'natural rejuvenation.' We use conservative dosing and precise placement to smooth wrinkles while preserving your natural facial expressions. You'll look refreshed, not overdone.
How often do I need to repeat treatments?
Botox typically lasts 3-4 months. Most clients come in 3-4 times per year. With regular treatments, many find they need fewer units over time as the muscles become trained to relax.
Is Botox safe?
Botox has been FDA-approved since 2002 and has one of the longest safety records of any cosmetic treatment. When administered by a trained, licensed professional like our team, it's extremely safe with minimal side effects.
What's the difference between Botox and fillers?
Botox relaxes muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles (from facial movement), while fillers add volume to fill in static wrinkles and restore lost volume. Many clients benefit from both. We offer Juvederm, Voluma, Radiesse, Sculptra, and Versa fillers.
Can I combine Botox with other treatments?
Yes! Botox pairs beautifully with dermal fillers for comprehensive facial rejuvenation, microneedling for skin texture, and facials for skin health. We can create a customized treatment plan during your consultation.
