About Botulinum Therapy

I enjoy getting to know my patients and building meaningful relationships. I understand that each person is unique and that they have diverse cultural backgrounds, so I strive to actively listen and empower them to be an advocate for the health and wellness goals that are important to them. I’m dedicated to providing compassionate and individualized care by providing patient education and practicing evidence-based medicine. I’m passionate about practicing preventive medicine and helping my patients manage acute and chronic health conditions, mental health, and overall well-being.

I find joy by doing almost any outdoor activity, including hiking, running, and exploring with our furbabies. I enjoy spending time with family and friends. I also strive to live mindfully and intentionally by creating uplifting routines and relaxing rituals.

How it Works

Botox relaxes targeted muscles to smooth wrinkles with results in 3–5 days, lasting 3–4 months. It’s safe, effective, and widely used for both cosmetic and medical purposes.

Botox is quick and nearly painless, often described as a slight pinch. No anesthesia is needed, and you can return to normal activities right after the procedure.

Botox results typically last 3–4 months, but for some, effects can persist up to 6 months with regular treatments, keeping skin smoother and lines softer longer.

Botox is FDA-approved and backed by decades of clinical use, making it a trusted and well-studied treatment when administered by certified professionals.

Quick answers to questions you may have

During a Botox injection procedure, your provider will begin by gently cleansing the area and discussing any last-minute questions you may have. Using a very fine needle, they’ll carefully inject small amounts of Botox into specific muscles. Most people describe the sensation as a tiny pinch or slight pressure — it’s quick and usually over in just a few minutes. There’s no need for anesthesia, and you can return to your normal activities right after. It’s a simple, safe, and low-stress process designed to help you feel refreshed and confident.

It’s a common concern, but rest assured — when Botox is done correctly by a trained professional, you won’t lose your facial expressions. The goal is to soften lines and reduce overactive muscle movement, not to freeze your face. You’ll still be able to smile, frown, and look surprised — just with a smoother, more refreshed appearance. Most people find they look more relaxed and well-rested, not expressionless.

No, you won’t lose your sense of feeling where Botox is injected. Botox works on the muscles to reduce movement, not on the nerves responsible for touch or sensation. You may feel a little tenderness or slight swelling right after the procedure, but that fades quickly. Your skin will still feel completely normal — the only difference you’ll notice is a smoother, more refreshed look.

It’s generally safe to have another Botox treatment about three to four months after your previous session. That’s when the effects typically begin to wear off and muscle movement gradually returns. Your provider will help you time your treatments based on your unique response and aesthetic goals. Staying consistent with treatments can help maintain smooth, natural-looking results without overdoing it.
