How does BOTOX Cosmetic work?

BOTOX Cosmetic blocks nerve signals to targeted muscles. This reduces repetitive muscle contraction, which helps smooth the lines those movements create.

Which areas does BOTOX treat?

Common treatment areas include forehead lines, frown lines between the brows, and crow’s feet around the eyes. Other dynamic facial lines may also qualify after evaluation.

Who performs BOTOX injections at Mill Creek Skin & Laser Center?

All BOTOX injections are performed by Dr. Yann G. Lin, a physician recognized as one of the top BOTOX injectors nationwide.

What is the minimum number of BOTOX units per appointment?

Mill Creek Skin & Laser Center requires a minimum of 40 units of BOTOX per appointment.

When will I see results after BOTOX?

Initial improvement often appears within a few days, with full results developing over one to two weeks after treatment.

Is BOTOX Cosmetic safe?

BOTOX Cosmetic is FDA approved for several cosmetic and medical uses. At Mill Creek Skin & Laser Center, treatment follows established safety protocols and is performed by a trained physician.

Does a BOTOX treatment hurt?

Most patients describe brief, mild discomfort from tiny needle pricks. The injections are quick, and comfort measures are available if needed.

How long does a BOTOX appointment take?

After your initial consultation, most BOTOX treatment visits take about 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the number of areas treated.

Am I a good candidate for BOTOX Cosmetic?

You might be a good candidate if you have expression lines such as frown lines, forehead lines, or crow’s feet and are in overall good health. A consultation with Dr. Lin confirms suitability and treatment goals.

How often will I need BOTOX treatments?

Most patients schedule follow up treatments every three to four months to maintain results. Your provider builds a schedule that fits your goals and response.

What should I avoid after BOTOX treatment?

Your provider may advise you to avoid rubbing treated areas, intense exercise, lying flat for several hours, or excessive heat immediately after treatment.

BOTOX® Cosmetic

BOTOX® is most recognized for its cosmetic applications, but it was originally designed for medical use. When it is used for cosmetic purposes, it is referred to as BOTOX® Cosmetic, although they are the same substance. At Mill Creek Skin & Laser Center, we can use BOTOX® injections to address both medical and cosmetic concerns. (Minimum 40 units per appointment.)

Recovery and Results

Typically, you can resume your normal activities without anyone knowing you just had a treatment. Some patients may experience slight redness from the injections, but this should dissipate fairly quickly. There is also a slight chance you may bruise at the injection site, however, we try to minimize any chance of bruising by following the pre-treatment protocol. If a bruise does occur, we have a laser that can be used immediately afterwards that can help speed up the recovery process. Arnica, which can be purchased directly from Mill Creek Skin & Laser, can also help resolve bruising more quickly.
