Botox: The Complete Guide Everything you need to know, in one place.
How it works, what recovery looks like, how it compares to Dysport and Xeomin, and every question our injector team gets asked before a first appointment — answered plainly, by the people who do the injecting.Professional microneedling that goes beyond collagen induction. Pair with NCTF, VAMP, or PRP to deliver active ingredients deep into the skin where topicals cannot reach.
Watch: what a Botox appointment at Infinite Medical Spa actually looks like, from consultation to injection.
What is Botox?
Botox is a purified form of botulinum toxin type A, used in small, targeted doses to soften the appearance of expression lines — the wrinkles that form from repeated facial movement like frowning, squinting, or raising your eyebrows.
It's most commonly used on the forehead, between the brows (glabellar lines), and around the eyes (crow's feet), though it can also treat bunny lines, a gummy smile, jawline tension, and neck banding depending on your anatomy and goals.
Good to know
"Botox" is a brand name that's become shorthand for the whole category, the same way people say "Kleenex." Dysport and Xeomin are other FDA/Health Canada–approved botulinum toxin products in the same family — more on how they compare below.
How Does Botox Work?
Botox works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that tell a muscle to contract. When a targeted muscle can no longer contract as forcefully, the skin above it stops folding into the same crease, and the wrinkle softens.
What to expect during treatment
- A short consultation to map your facial movement and treatment areas
- A series of small injections using a fine needle — most patients describe it as a quick pinch
- No anesthesia or downtime required; most appointments take 15–30 minutes
- Results build gradually over 3–7 days, with full effect visible by day 14
How long does it last?
Most patients see results for three to four months. Duration depends on your metabolism, the muscle strength in the treated area, dosage, and how consistently you maintain treatment — some patients find results last longer with repeat sessions over time.

Botox vs. Dysport vs. Xeomin: What's the Difference?
All three are botulinum toxin type A products and work on the same underlying principle. The differences come down to formulation, onset speed, and how far the product spreads once injected — though in practice, your injector’s skill and technique matter more to your result than which brand is used.
| Product | Formulation | Onset | Spread |
|---|---|---|---|
| Botox | Contains accessory proteins | ~72 hours | Moderate |
| Dysport | Contains accessory proteins, more diluted | ~24–48 hours | Wider — good for larger areas |
| Xeomin | “Naked” formula, no additives | ~4 days | Minimal, more targeted |
Which one is right for you?
There’s no single “best” option — it depends on the area being treated, how your body responds, and your provider’s clinical judgment. Some patients who’ve built resistance to one product respond well to another. This is a conversation to have with your injector at consultation, not something to decide from a keyword search.
Recovery & Aftercare
Botox has effectively no downtime, but a few simple aftercare steps help you get the cleanest result.
Right after treatment
- Avoid touching, rubbing, or massaging the treated area for the rest of the day
- Stay upright for 4 hours — skip lying down or bending over for extended periods
- Skip strenuous exercise for the remainder of the day
- Minor redness or small bumps at injection sites are normal and settle within hours
The first two weeks
Results build gradually. You may notice softening within 3–7 days, with the full effect visible around day 14. It’s normal for one side to settle slightly faster than the other — if anything looks uneven after two weeks, your injector can assess whether a small touch-up is warranted.
Side Effects & Safety
Botox is one of the most studied cosmetic treatments available and is considered safe when performed by a trained, experienced injector. Choosing a qualified provider is the single biggest factor in both safety and how natural your results look.
Common, temporary side effects
- Mild bruising or swelling at injection sites
- Slight headache in the first 24 hours
- Temporary redness
Less common
Rarely, if the product migrates from the injection site, it can cause temporary drooping of the eyelid or brow. This is uncommon with an experienced injector and typically resolves as the treatment wears off.
Does Botox make you look frozen?
Not when it's dosed and placed correctly. This is one of the most common misconceptions about the treatment — done well, Botox relaxes the muscles enough to soften wrinkles while preserving natural expression and movement.
How Much Does Botox Cost?
Botox is typically priced per unit, and the total cost depends on how many units your treatment areas require — which varies by muscle strength, the area treated, and your goals. A forehead and glabellar area, for example, uses fewer units than a full-face treatment plan.
Rather than quoting a price before understanding your anatomy and goals, our injectors provide a personalized unit estimate and total cost at consultation, so you know exactly what you’re paying for before you commit.
