Overview
Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA) is the most studied and most precise neuromodulator on the market. Used correctly, it softens dynamic lines without erasing expression — which is the difference between subtle work and the look most people are trying to avoid.
Every Botox plan at LUMEN starts with mapping how your face actually moves at rest, smiling, and frowning. We dose for movement, not erasure. Most new patients land between 20 and 50 units; we'll never push more than the assessment supports.
How it works
- / 01A tiny amount of purified protein is placed into specific muscles. Over 3 — 7 days, the targeted muscles relax. Dynamic lines soften, static lines fade with repeated use.
- / 02Effects peak at two weeks. We'll see you at the two-week mark to assess and add a touch-up if the muscle map calls for it.
What to expect
- 15 — 20 minute visit, no numbing needed for most patients.
- Tiny pinprick sensation; mild bumps at injection sites for ~15 minutes.
- Walk back into your day immediately.
Aftercare
- Stay upright for 4 hours.
- No vigorous exercise, hot yoga, or saunas for 24 hours.
- No facial massage or makeup over injection sites for 24 hours.
- Avoid blood thinners (NSAIDs, fish oil, alcohol) the day of, if possible.
