Facial expressions such as smiling, frowning, squinting, and raising your eyebrows rely on repeated muscle contractions beneath the skin. Over time, these movements create dynamic wrinkles that gradually become more noticeable and, in some cases, remain visible even when your face is at rest. Areas such as the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes are especially prone to these expression lines.
BOTOX is an FDA-approved neuromodulator that temporarily relaxes specific facial muscles by blocking the nerve signals responsible for muscle contraction. As the treated muscles relax, the overlying skin appears smoother while natural facial movement is preserved. Every treatment at LaVida Medspa is customized to your facial anatomy, muscle strength, aesthetic goals, and budget, with experienced injectors taking the time to educate you throughout the process.
BOTOX IS WHAT WE DO SEVEN DAYS A WEEK! We have a highly experienced team of nurse injectors (meet our injectors) who specialize in this treatment!
BOTOX is used to soften expression lines in several areas of the face and neck, including:
Your treatment begins with a personalized consultation, during which your injector evaluates your facial anatomy, muscle strength, areas of concern, and aesthetic goals. You’ll discuss your medical history, previous injectables, and any questions you may have before a customized treatment plan is recommended. Your injector will also explain what to expect throughout.
Once your treatment plan is finalized, the targeted areas are cleansed and may be cooled with ice for added comfort. Using a very fine needle, your injector carefully places small amounts of BOTOX into specific facial muscles. The injections typically take only a few minutes, and you can return to most normal activities immediately while following your aftercare instructions.
Like any injectable treatment, BOTOX may cause temporary side effects, including:
Most BOTOX side effects are mild and resolve on their own within a few days. There is little to no downtime involved. However, to support the best possible results, you’ll be advised to remain upright for several hours, avoid rubbing the treated areas, postpone strenuous exercise until the following day, and temporarily avoid excessive heat, including saunas and hot tubs.
FDA warns of Counterfeit BOTOX.
Please note that LaVida Medspa purchases our BOTOX directly from Allergan, and of course, we honor the Allergan Loyalty program. Due to our incredible volumes, we are able to secure the best possible pricing and pass those savings on to you!
We inject BOTOX 7 days a week, and it is always freshly reconstituted. What that means is that our volume is so high that a vial of BOTOX never has time to sit on the shelf getting old.
We also take the time to educate, inject, and then educate more so that you understand what is going into your face. It really is important as more injectable products are introduced year after year. We value your feedback. ALWAYS!
There isn’t a single answer because every face is different. Your injector will assess your facial anatomy, muscle strength, goals, and any previous BOTOX history before creating a dosage plan. Someone with stronger muscles, deeper-set lines, or multiple areas being treated will typically require more units than someone seeking a very subtle, preventative result. Your injector will fine-tune your dosage to ensure results look natural and balanced.
If this is your first BOTOX, a follow-up gives your injector the opportunity to evaluate how your muscles responded after the product has fully settled. If needed, small adjustments can be made to further refine your results. It also helps establish the ideal treatment plan and dosage for future appointments.
You may begin noticing subtle improvements within 3 to 5 days, but BOTOX works gradually. Most people see their full results around 2 weeks after treatment, which is why LaVida recommends evaluating your outcome after this point. The gradual onset helps the treatment look natural rather than obvious.
Most people enjoy smoother skin for approximately 3 to 4 months, although this varies from person to person. Factors such as your facial anatomy, muscle strength, metabolism, lifestyle, and the number of units used all influence how long your results last. As muscle activity gradually returns, your wrinkles will slowly reappear rather than all at once.
Whether you’re treating your first forehead lines or you’re a longtime BOTOX patient, you deserve an experienced injector, genuine product, and honest pricing every time. At LaVida Medspa, we inject BOTOX seven days a week, source directly from Allergan, and take the time to educate you before, during, and after your treatment — all starting at just $7.99 per unit. Schedule a consultation at our Chandler or Mesa location and see why our patients trust us with their results.
