Is Botox Right for You? Everything Boerne Clients Should Know

From First-Time Treatment to Maintenance: A Guide to Wrinkle Relaxers

Thinking about trying Botox for the first time? You’re not alone. At Gilded Palm Cosmetic Medicine and Spa in Boerne, Botox remains one of our most popular treatments for smoothing fine lines, reducing dynamic wrinkles, and helping clients feel more confident in their appearance. Whether you’re curious about how it works or wondering if it’s the right choice for you, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know.

What Exactly Is Botox?

Botox is a purified form of botulinum toxin type A that temporarily relaxes facial muscles. When injected by a trained medical professional, it softens the appearance of wrinkles caused by facial expressions—like frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead creases—without affecting your natural look.

Who is Botox Best For?

Botox is ideal for adults who:

• Have visible dynamic wrinkles (caused by repeated movement)
• Want to prevent early signs of aging
• Are seeking a quick, non-surgical solution
• Prefer minimal downtime and natural-looking results

It’s also safe for most skin types and tones, making it one of the most inclusive treatments in aesthetic medicine.

What to Expect During Treatment

A Botox appointment at Gilded Palm typically takes less than 30 minutes. After a brief consultation to assess your goals and facial anatomy, our expert injector will deliver small amounts of Botox into targeted areas. The discomfort is minimal—many compare it to a tiny pinch—and there’s no need for anesthesia or downtime.

When Will I See Results?

Most clients begin to see results within 3–7 days, with full effects showing around 14 days after treatment. The skin looks smoother and more relaxed, but not frozen. You’ll still be able to express emotions naturally—just without deep lines showing up every time you smile or frown.

How Long Do Botox Results Last?

Botox results typically last 3–4 months. With regular treatments, many clients find that their muscles begin to relax longer over time, which may extend the longevity of results.

Is Botox Safe?

When performed by trained professionals, Botox is very safe. At Gilded Palm Cosmetic Medicine and Spa, all injectables are administered by experienced medical providers who prioritize your comfort and safety.

What Areas Can Botox Treat?

While Botox is most commonly used on the upper face, it can also be used for:

• Bunny lines (on the nose)
• Lip flips
• Chin dimpling
• Jawline slimming (masseter Botox)
• Neck bands (platysmal bands)

We also offer Botox for medical concerns like TMJ pain and excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis).
