Botox

Smooths dynamic wrinkles like crow's feet and frown lines with a quick, in-office injectable — and no downtime.

Botox is the most popular non-surgical cosmetic treatment in the world, and for good reason: a few precise injections relax the specific muscles that create dynamic wrinkles — the lines that form when you frown, squint, or raise your brows — for a smoother, more refreshed, yet natural expression.

Beyond softening crow's feet, frown lines, and forehead creases, Botox can also reduce excessive underarm sweating and ease certain migraine symptoms. Administered by Dr. Marciales' trained team with a surgeon's understanding of facial anatomy, the goal is a rested look — never frozen.

Is It Right for You?

Am I a Candidate?

Botox suits healthy adults bothered by expression lines — forehead creases, frown lines between the brows, or crow's feet — who want a refreshed look without surgery or downtime. It's also used for excessive sweating and certain migraines.

What to Expect

The Procedure

After discussing your goals, a member of Dr. Marciales' trained team injects small, precise amounts of Botox into the targeted muscles using a very fine needle. The treatment takes only about ten to fifteen minutes, and most patients describe just a tiny pinch.

Because it's non-surgical, you can return to your normal day immediately, with only a few simple aftercare guidelines.

Before Surgery

Healing, Week by Week

Your Recovery Timeline

Right after

Return to normal activity immediately. Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated areas, lying flat, or strenuous exercise for the rest of the day.

First few days

Any tiny bumps or redness settle quickly. Results begin to appear as the muscles relax, typically within three to seven days.

About 2 weeks

The full effect is in place — the ideal time for any minor touch-up if needed.

3–4 months

Results gradually wear off as muscle movement returns; a maintenance treatment refreshes the effect.

The Outcome

Your Results

You'll see your lines soften within three to seven days, with the full effect by about two weeks. Results typically last three to four months; with regular treatment, many patients find lines become less pronounced over time.

Dr. Marciales' team doses conservatively for a natural, expressive result rather than a frozen look.

Botox FAQ

Does Botox hurt?

Very little — a very fine needle is used and most patients describe only a tiny pinch. Topical numbing is available if you prefer.

Will I look frozen?

No — Dr. Marciales' team doses conservatively to soften lines while preserving natural expression. The aim is 'rested,' not frozen.

How soon will I see results, and how long do they last?

Results appear within three to seven days, reach full effect by about two weeks, and typically last three to four months before a maintenance treatment.

Is there any downtime?

None — you can return to your day right away, following a few simple guidelines like avoiding rubbing the area or lying flat for a few hours.

What areas can Botox treat?

Most commonly the forehead, frown lines between the brows, and crow's feet. It can also treat excessive underarm sweating and certain migraines.

Can Botox prevent wrinkles?

By relaxing the muscles that crease the skin, regular treatment can help slow the formation and deepening of dynamic lines over time.
