If you’re considering Botox for the first time, you’re not alone. Botox has become one of the most popular non-surgical cosmetic treatments in the world—and for good reason. At Emarie Lucille Medical Spa, we provide expert Botox treatments to clients across Palm Beach County who are looking for natural, refreshed results without the downtime of surgery. Whether you’re hoping to smooth fine lines, prevent future wrinkles, or simply look more rested, this guide will walk you through what to expect from your first Botox appointment and how to prepare for the best outcome.
Botox is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that temporarily relaxes facial muscles responsible for expression lines, such as crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines. It’s a quick procedure with minimal discomfort and no required recovery time, which makes it especially appealing to people with busy lifestyles. For first-time clients, it’s natural to have questions—like how long Botox lasts, whether it hurts, and when you’ll see results. Typically, Botox takes just 10 to 15 minutes to administer, and results begin to show within 3 to 5 days, with full effects visible by two weeks. The effects generally last 3 to 4 months, depending on your metabolism and treatment area.
Before your Botox appointment, there are a few things to keep in mind to ensure a smooth experience. Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements—like aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, and vitamin E—for about a week prior, unless directed otherwise by your physician. This helps reduce the risk of bruising. It’s also a good idea to avoid alcohol and intense workouts 24 hours before your session. On the day of your appointment, come in with a clean face (no makeup), and be ready to discuss your concerns and goals with our experienced aesthetic provider. We’ll map out the exact areas to treat, based on your facial anatomy and desired look.
After your treatment, you can go right back to your day—with just a few minor precautions. We recommend avoiding lying down for at least four hours and skipping heavy exercise or facial massages for the rest of the day. Mild redness or swelling at the injection site is normal and typically fades within a few hours. You’ll begin to notice smoother, more relaxed skin within days—without losing your natural expressions.
At Emarie Lucille Medical Spa, we take pride in helping our clients achieve subtle, beautiful results that enhance their natural features. Whether you’re in Boca Raton, Delray Beach, West Palm Beach, or anywhere in Palm Beach County, we’re here to make your first Botox experience comfortable, personalized, and empowering.
