Botox Appointments Near Arlington & Falls Church, VA: What Will My First Treatment Feel Like?

If you’ve booked Botox for the lines between your brows and none of your friends have had it, you may have no one to ask what the appointment is like. The good news is that Botox appointments near Arlington & Falls Church, VA follow the same short sequence, and Waseem Garbia, PA-C, an international Allergan trainer, will walk you through yours at our VIP med spa in Fairfax, VA before the first Botox injection.

What Happens at Botox Appointments Near Arlington & Falls Church, VA?

What happens before the injections? At the beginning of your visit on Williams Drive, you and Waseem will look at your frown lines while you scowl on purpose, and he’ll mark the spots. How many injections are typically placed between the brows, and what do they feel like? Five, usually, and each feels like a quick pinch. A numbing cream is available if you’d like it.

How long does the appointment take? A few minutes, and many of our patients come on their lunch break. Will I look different immediately afterward? No, apart from small bumps that settle within 20 minutes.

Can I Go Back to Work After My Botox Appointment, and When Will I See a Change?

Can I go back to work, exercise, wear makeup, or lie down afterward? Work, yes. Skip your workout for 48 hours, leave the makeup off for 24, and stay upright for the first four hours. When will I start seeing a change, and when are the final results visible? The lines soften around day three to five, and the full result is in by two weeks, when Waseem typically books a quick check.

Will I still be able to make normal facial expressions? Yes. He’ll typically start you with a conservative dose, in the range of our Baby Botox treatment, so you can still raise your brows. What side effects are common, and what would be a reason to call the injector? A small bruise or a mild headache that’s gone in a day or two, and a heavy eyelid or an uneven brow is your reason to text us. How long will the results last? Three to six months. Keep in mind that our Botox for your forehead page covers the pre-visit list, including no alcohol for 24 hours before.
