Botox Treatment

Smooth Lines Without Changing Your Expression

Professional Botox treatment delivered with precision in El Paso, Texas.

You live in El Paso, where sun exposure and temperature shifts can make fine lines and wrinkles more visible over time. Botox treatment works by temporarily relaxing specific facial muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles, the kind that appear when you smile, frown, or squint. Family Medical & Psychiatric Wellness Center provides Botox injections designed to soften these lines while preserving your ability to express yourself naturally.

Botox is a purified protein administered through small injections into targeted areas such as the forehead, between the brows, and around the eyes. The procedure typically takes fifteen to twenty minutes, and you can return to your regular routine immediately afterward. Results begin to appear within three to five days and reach full effect in about two weeks, lasting three to four months depending on your muscle activity and metabolism.

If you are considering Botox treatment in El Paso and want to understand how it fits your goals, Family Medical & Psychiatric Wellness Center is available to walk you through the process.

What Happens During and After Your Appointment

Your provider will assess your facial structure and discuss which areas respond best to Botox based on your muscle movement and the depth of your lines. In El Paso, where outdoor activity is common, many patients notice crow's feet and forehead lines from sun exposure and repeated expressions. The injections are administered with a fine needle, and most people describe the sensation as a quick pinch.

After your appointment, you will notice that the treated muscles gradually relax, and the wrinkles that form when those muscles contract become less pronounced. Your skin appears smoother in areas where movement previously caused creasing. You can still move your face naturally, but the exaggerated lines that deepened over time are visibly reduced.

You should avoid lying down or exercising heavily for four hours after treatment to prevent the product from migrating. Minor redness or swelling at injection sites usually resolves within an hour. Most patients schedule follow-up treatments every three to four months to maintain their results, though this varies based on individual response and preference.

Many people who are new to Botox want to know how it feels, how long it lasts, and what to expect in the days following treatment. These are the questions that come up most often during consultations at Family Medical & Psychiatric Wellness Center.

Questions You Might Have Before Your First Visit

What areas can be treated with Botox?
Botox is commonly used on the forehead, between the eyebrows, around the eyes, and sometimes along the brow line. Your provider will assess which areas will benefit most based on your muscle activity and the lines you want to address.
How long does Botox last?
Results typically last three to four months. Some people metabolize Botox faster, while others maintain results longer depending on factors like muscle strength and activity level.
When will I see results after my appointment?
You will begin to see softening within three to five days, with full results visible around two weeks. The effect builds gradually as the treated muscles relax.
What does Botox feel like during the injection?
Most people describe it as a brief pinch or pressure. The needle is very fine, and the entire process is over quickly. Discomfort is minimal and does not require numbing in most cases.
Can I go back to work right after treatment?
Yes, you can resume normal activities immediately. You should avoid strenuous exercise and lying flat for about four hours, but there is no downtime required.
