What to Expect from Your First Botox Appointment

If you’re considering Botox to reduce wrinkles or prevent signs of aging, your first appointment might feel a bit daunting. At Aura Aesthetics in Greenville, SC, we want to make sure you know exactly what to expect, so you feel comfortable and confident in your decision.

Consultation and Evaluation

Your first Botox appointment begins with a thorough consultation. Our experienced injector will discuss your goals and concerns, assess your facial structure, and determine which areas can benefit from Botox. Whether you’re targeting crow’s feet, forehead lines, or frown lines, this personalized approach ensures you get natural-looking results tailored to your needs.

The Botox Procedure

Once your treatment plan is confirmed, the Botox procedure itself is quick and minimally invasive. A fine needle is used to inject small amounts of Botox into the targeted muscles. The number of injections depends on the areas being treated and the severity of your wrinkles. Most appointments take less than 30 minutes, making it easy to fit into a busy schedule.

Is Botox Painful?

You may feel a slight pinch during the injections, but discomfort is typically minimal. Some clients compare the sensation to a quick bug bite. For added comfort, we can apply a numbing cream to the area before treatment if needed.

Aftercare and Results

After your Botox appointment, there’s no downtime required. You can return to your regular activities right away, though we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise and rubbing the treated areas for the rest of the day. You’ll begin to notice results in 3-5 days, with full effects visible within two weeks. The smooth, youthful look typically lasts 3-6 months, depending on your individual needs.
