During the natural aging process, our facial skin undergoes changes in skin elasticity and firmness, which leads to the appearance of facial wrinkles and fine lines. If you have noticed the development of these common signs of aging, we can help.
Botox, one of the top non-surgical injectable treatments in the world, is designed to fade away the look of facial wrinkles that cause expression lines on the forehead and around the eyes, nose, and lips.

Botox is perhaps the most popular and well-known cosmetic treatment in Seattle. Scientifically, Botox is called a neuromodulator. A neuromodulator is a substance that affects the brain’s messaging system. Botox prevents your brain from sending neural signals to the muscle that causes the facial wrinkle. This blocks the target muscle from receiving that brain signal, which, in turn, prevents that specific muscle from moving–ultimately stopping the overlying skin from contracting over the muscle. This prevents the formation of that particular wrinkle or fold, keeping your skin smooth and taut.
A popular misconception of Botox is that it will freeze your entire face. This is totally false. In fact, one of the major advantages of Botox is how specific this treatment is–it will only work on the injected muscle without affecting surrounding muscles.
Botox is incredibly popular in Seattle for treating wrinkles that cause facial expressions, such as:
Most of our Seattle patients are good candidates for Botox. Good candidates include adult patients who are generally healthy, free of chronic health conditions, and non-smokers or willing to temporarily quit smoking.
Botox is appropriate for adult patients of all ages, but we typically recommend it for patients who are just starting to notice the appearance of dynamic wrinkles–typically, this is around the age of 30. Early intervention and treatment is the most ideal way to stop the progression of wrinkles, and we even see patients in their mid-20s who wish to obtain Botox preventatively. That being said, Botox is a good treatment option for adult patients of all ages and can offer age-defying results for any adult age range.
The Botox injection itself will be fairly quick. This treatment will only require a few minutes of your time, depending on how many treatment areas you address. Prior to the injection, our team will cleanse the target area. The injection feels like a quick pinch, and then you are done. Following the procedure, the treatment area will be cleansed again, and you will be cleared to leave after a brief monitoring period.
In most cases, patients see results immediately when they leave our clinic. Botox is one of our most popular treatments in Seattle because there is minimal downtime and recovery time. You can return back to daily life–including your job–immediately following your Botox treatment.
Botox is not permanent–though this is a good thing. Botox is naturally degraded by your body over time because it is made of natural ingredients that are biodegradable.
However, the age-defying results of Botox injections in Seattle will last several months and up to a year. In order to maintain your beautiful results, you can schedule Botox maintenance appointments every four to six months or as directed by our team.
