Botox Injections in Seattle, WA

Botox is a minimally invasive injectable cosmetic treatment that reduces the appearance of frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead wrinkles to give our patients a refreshed and naturally rejuvenated look.

Botox works using an active ingredient called botulinum toxin. When injected into the treated areas, Botox causes the underlying muscles to temporarily relax and reduce the contractions made with our facial expressions that cause fine lines and deep wrinkles to appear.

The best part about Botox is that it doesn’t require any downtime or recovery period. Patients are able to return to their normal daily activities immediately and reap the benefits of their newly refreshed features.

Botox is most commonly used to treat the following concerns:

• Moderate to severe forehead wrinkles
• Frown lines between the brows
• Crow’s feet around the eyes
• Bunny lines along the bridge of the nose

Each Botox treatment is performed in one of the private treatment rooms at the La Belle Vie MedSpa. Before your treatment begins, a topical anesthetic may be applied to your treatment area. Before your Botox injections are administered, your aesthetics professional will ask you to make a series of facial expressions to map out areas in which Botox will benefit you the most.

Once these areas are mapped, a series of Botox injections will be made into your desired treatment areas. This entire treatment process typically takes less than an hour to complete, making it the perfect treatment to get between errands or while on your lunch break.

While there is no downtime or recovery period associated with Botox treatments, patients can expect mild redness and bruising around their injection sites. These side effects are normal and typically resolve on their own within a day or two of treatment.

The results from Botox treatment may not be immediately seen. This is because the active ingredients in Botox take time to take effect in the treated areas. Patients will begin to see initial improvements in about five to seven days. The full benefits of Botox may continue to improve over the following two weeks.
