Trying Botox for the first time can feel exciting — and a little intimidating if you’re not sure what to expect! At Golden Dental Solutions in Golden, CO, our experienced team offers cosmetic Botox treatments designed to smooth fine lines and refresh your appearance with precision and care. Here’s what you should know before your first appointment.
What Happens During Your Appointment
A Botox treatment typically takes less than 30 minutes, making it a convenient option even on a busy day. Your provider will start with a consultation to discuss your goals and evaluate the areas of concern, such as forehead lines, frown lines, or crow’s feet. After mapping out the treatment plan, small amounts of Botox are injected into targeted muscles using a fine needle. Most patients describe the sensation as a quick pinch, and no anesthesia is needed.
Immediately Resume Your Activities
Once your injections are complete, you can return to most normal activities right away. However, it’s recommended to avoid strenuous exercise, rubbing the treated areas, or lying down flat for several hours after your appointment. These precautions help ensure the Botox stays precisely where it was placed. With virtually no downtime, Botox is a convenient treatment to incorporate into your daily routine.
When to Expect Results
Botox doesn’t work instantly. You may start to notice changes within three to five days, with full results typically appearing in about 10 to 14 days. The treated muscles will gradually relax, softening the appearance of wrinkles and preventing deeper lines from forming. Results typically last three to four months, after which you may choose to schedule touch-ups.
Your First Step Toward a Smoother Look
One of the most common concerns for first-time patients is whether Botox will leave them looking “frozen.” At Golden Dental Solutions, our team carefully tailors every treatment to your unique facial anatomy, ensuring results that look refreshed and natural — not overdone.
