Botox 101: Everything You Need to Know Before Your First Appointment
Thinking about trying Botox in Leander, TX?
At Forever Glow in Leander, we meet so many women (and men!) who want to smooth fine lines, refresh their look, and boost confidence, but aren’t sure what to expect at their first appointment.
What Is Botox, Really?
Botox is a purified protein that relaxes the tiny muscles responsible for expression lines, like those little “11s” between your brows or crow’s feet around your eyes. When those muscles relax, the skin above them looks smoother and softer. It’s not about freezing your face. It’s about softening movement so your natural expressions shine through.
At Forever Glow, we focus on subtle, natural results, so you still look like you, just refreshed.
What to Expect at Your First Appointment
Consultation First – We’ll talk through your goals, areas of concern, and what kind of look you want. There’s no one-size-fits-all plan here.
Quick Treatment – The actual Botox process only takes about 10–15 minutes. Most people say it feels like a quick pinch.
Zero Downtime – You can head right back to work, errands, or school pickup. We ask you to avoid heavy workouts for the rest of the day.
Results Build Gradually – You’ll start to see changes in about 3–5 days, with full results around two weeks.
Common Myths About Botox
“I’ll look frozen.” Nope! When done correctly, you’ll look natural and expressive. Just smoother!
“It’s only for older women.” Actually, many of our clients in their late 20s and 30s use Botox preventatively to keep lines from forming.
“It’s permanent.” Results last about 3–4 months (sometimes longer). Regular touch-ups keep your look consistent.
Recovery & Aftercare
Most clients have no downtime at all. Maybe a little redness at the injection site that fades quickly. We’ll give you simple aftercare instructions (no rubbing the area, no lying down for 4 hours, skip hot yoga that day). That’s it!
Is Botox Right for You?
If you’re curious but not sure if Botox is the best choice, that’s precisely what a consultation is for. At Forever Glow, we’ll talk through your options, including Daxxify or fillers, and create a personalized glow plan designed for your face and goals.
