Botox 101: What to Expect Before, During, and After Treatment?

Thinking about getting Botox, but not sure what to expect?

Then this blog is for you.

 

Whether it’s your first time or you’re just Botox-curious, the idea of injecting something into your face can bring up a lot of questions.


Botox 101: What to Expect | NUTRADRiP IV Hydration

But here’s the truth: Botox is one of the most popular and trusted non-surgical treatments in the world, and when done right, it’s subtle, safe, and incredibly effective.

 

We are breaking down everything you need to know, from preparation to post-care, so you can walk into your appointment with confidence.

💉 What Is Botox?

Botox (short for Botulinum toxin) is a neuromodulator that temporarily relaxes specific facial muscles. When injected into areas like the forehead or around the eyes, it smooths out expression lines and prevents new ones from forming.

Common treatment areas:

  • Forehead lines

  • Frown lines (a.k.a. "11s" between the brows)

  • Crow’s feet

  • Bunny lines (on the nose)

  • Jawline slimming

  • Lip flip or gummy smile correction

 

Before Your Botox Appointment

What to Do:

  • Schedule a consultation: A licensed injector will assess your facial anatomy, discuss your goals, and recommend a treatment plan.

  • Avoid blood thinners (3–5 days prior): This includes aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, and alcohol, to minimize bruising.

  • Arrive with a clean face: No makeup, please!

  • Be honest about your health: Let your provider know about any medications or medical conditions.

 

💉 During the Treatment

A Botox session is quick, usually 10 to 20 minutes, and relatively painless.

Here’s what happens:

  • Your provider maps out the injection points based on your facial movement and anatomy.

  • Tiny injections are made with a very fine needle. You might feel a small pinch, but it’s brief.

  • No numbing is typically needed, but you can request it if you’re sensitive.

Most patients describe it as, “Over before I knew it. Easier than a flu shot.”

 

✨ After Botox: What to Expect

There’s little to no downtime, but you do need to follow a few aftercare steps:

Do:

  • Stay upright for 4–6 hours post-treatment

  • Gently exercise your facial muscles (frown, smile, raise your brows). It can help the Botox settle faster.

  • Use a cold compress for any mild swelling or redness.

Don’t:

  • No rubbing or massaging the area

  • Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, or hot showers for 24 hours.

  • No alcohol or makeup on the treated area the same day

 

🕐 When Will I See Results?

  • Subtle effects may start within 3–5 days.

  • Full results appear around 7–14 days.

  • Results typically last 3 to 4 months.

 

As Botox gradually wears off, muscle movement will return, and so will lines if you don’t maintain your treatments. Most people schedule touch-ups 3–4 times a year for the best anti-aging effect.
