A typical Botox appointment will take less than half an hour from start to finish. The actual injection process takes less than 10 minutes. Your master injector will sit with you, discuss your treatment goals and perform a facial analysis to determine your optimal treatment areas. There is a reason Botox is referred to as the “lunch break procedure”. Botox requires minimal downtime so patients can immediately resume work, although they are asked to avoid exercise for the remainder of the day. Patients may experience slight redness on the injection site, which resembles tiny mosquito bites, but this fades very quickly.
