Want to feel and look more refreshed? Botox is the answer, and Belle Vie has what you need. Here is everything you need to know:
Botox injections are the most common, minimally invasive aesthetic procedures performed around the world. These injections are primarily used to target areas of the face to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, including frown lines on the forehead and crow’s feet. The active ingredient in Botox is the Botulinum toxin, Type A.
Why Choose Botox?
Experience the Botox Difference
Over time, frowning, squinting, or raising eyebrows can cause static facial lines. Botox works by reducing or inhibiting certain muscle movements to keep the skin from folding so the lines can fade, and the skin can appear smoother. You may begin to see results within 48 hours with full results 2 weeks from treatment, and results lasting up to 3 months. Results are Predictable and subtle, so you look like you, just more relaxed with softer lines.
Why Settle for Anything Less?
In the realm of neuromodulators, Botox is the gold standard. Choose the tried, tested, and trusted solution that has reshaped the narratives of aging gracefully. Don’t just embrace the beauty of the future; define it with Botox.

Ho does Botox work?
Botox is one of the safest and most effective treatment options for reducing the appearance of fine lines, facial folds and wrinkles. After the injection is administered, Botox is moved from the dermis into the desired muscle where it acts by blocking chemical signals going to the nerves. The injected muscle will no longer contract causing the wrinkles to relax and can also help prevent new wrinkles from forming.
Botox has a local effect, not a systemic one. This means if it is injected in your forehead, it will treat that area, rather than affecting your lips, for example.
In addition to its anti-aging benefits, Botox is also used as a solution for other conditions such as migraines, lazy eye, and excessive sweating.
Is Botox Painful?
Most people find Botox injections to be virtually painless. Those with a lower pain threshold might experience some discomfort as the needle penetrates the skin, but not enough to warrant using local anesthetic. A topical numbing cream can be applied a few minutes before starting treatment, if desired.
While it is a safe procedure when performed by an experienced professional, there can be unpleasant side effects associated with Botox injections if they are not administered correctly. Therefore, it’s very important that your injector have experience, as too little Botox will not yield any results and too much may exacerbate side effects. The experienced professional will use a thin needle to inject tiny amounts of Botox into your skin or muscle. The number of units needed varies for every costumer and depends on a number of factors, including strength of muscle, metabolism, and others.
When are Botox Results Visible?
Patients often begin to see results within days of their treatment, however, patients should not expect to see the full results until about 2 weeks after treatment. Once the muscles in the treated area lose the ability to contract, lines and wrinkles will reduce leaving the area looking smoother. The results of one Botox treatment can be enjoyed for an average period of 12-16 weeks depending on the individual and the number of units injected. To maintain results and effects, treatments must be maintained ever 3-4 months.
If you want or need to completely stop injecting Botox (our most common occurrence of this is due to pregnancy and breast feeding), muscles will begin to contract again and wrinkles will simply go back to how they were before the treatment. Avoiding the sun and leading a healthy lifestyle will help to prolong your results. There is no downtime following the treatment, but some patients can have a small amount of bruising and swelling during the days following treatment. Be sure not to massage or rub treated area to prevent any migration of the Botox. Expect to resume with your daily activities right after the procedure (with the exception of exercise – we ask for no strenuous exercise for 4 hours post-treatment).
