Over time, repetitive expressions like smiling, frowning, or squinting can leave fine lines and wrinkles behind. While these lines tell the story of a life well-lived, they can also make you look tired, stressed, or older than you feel. Botox offers a simple, effective way to soften dynamic lines and help your natural vibrancy shine through.
At Avita MD, our providers offer Botox as part of our holistic approach to aesthetics and wellness. Every treatment plan is customized to your goals, ensuring results that look natural to you.

Botox is an injectable treatment made from botulinum toxin A, a purified protein that temporarily relaxes targeted facial muscles. By reducing the contractions that cause wrinkles, Botox smooths existing lines and prevents them from deepening over time. It’s one of the most widely used aesthetic treatments worldwide, trusted for its safety and consistency.
The Botox treatment takes just minutes and provides wrinkle-smoothing benefits for 3-4 months between touch-ups, making it an easy addition to any routine. Our experienced injectors take a balanced approach, precisely targeting key areas for a gentle refresh. At Avita MD, Botox is never about changing your appearance. It’s about helping you look more rested, approachable, and refreshed, like yourself on your best day.
Your treatment begins with a consultation to discuss your concerns and goals. Once your personalized plan is mapped out, your provider will use a fine needle to place small amounts of Botox into specific facial muscles. The injections are quick, and most patients describe them as only mildly uncomfortable. Topical numbing is available for added comfort.
A typical appointment takes less than 30 minutes. There is no required downtime, though you may notice mild redness or swelling at the injection site that resolves quickly. Results develop gradually over the following days, with full effects visible in about 1–2 weeks.
Botox is designed to target dynamic wrinkles, which form due to repetitive facial movements. Popular treatment areas include:
Botox also helps prevent new wrinkles from forming, making it increasingly popular among younger patients.
Medical Uses of Botox
In addition to wrinkle reduction, Botox can also be used for functional concerns such as excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), jaw clenching, or migraine prevention, services that Avita MD can integrate into your care plan when appropriate.
The biggest benefit of Botox is how natural the results can be when performed with skill and care. Lines soften. Expressions feel lighter. You look rested without appearing “overdone.” The treatment is quick, predictable, and requires little to no recovery time.
Many patients also love that Botox can be combined with other treatments, such as dermal fillers or PRP, for a more complete approach to facial rejuvenation.
At Avita MD, every plan is tailored to your needs, lifestyle, and goals, so you always know your care is uniquely yours.
Botox is safe for most adults who want to address expression lines or prevent new wrinkles from forming. The best candidates are those seeking subtle, natural results with a quick, low-commitment treatment.
Botox may not be recommended for patients who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain neuromuscular conditions. During your consultation, your Avita MD provider will carefully review your health history and aesthetic goals to determine if Botox is the best fit.
There’s virtually no downtime with Botox. You can return to most normal activities right away, though we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, alcohol, and rubbing the treated area for 24 hours. Mild swelling or redness may occur at the injection sites but typically resolves within a few hours.
Your Avita MD provider will review all aftercare guidelines with you and remain available to answer questions at any time.
Botox results gradually reveal themselves over the course of a week. Most patients notice smoother lines and a more refreshed appearance within 3–5 days, with full results visible at 1–2 weeks. Effects generally last 3–4 months, after which a quick touch-up can maintain your results year-round.
Our patients often describe looking “more approachable” or “less stressed”—not different, just more like themselves.
