The Science Behind Botox
As the most popular aesthetic injectable in the world, scientists have proven Botox’s wrinkle-relaxing powers time and again. This FDA-approved formula limits specific muscle movements, reducing and preventing facial lines by discouraging repetitive expressions.
What many people don’t know is that Botox can do more than refresh your skin. Our physician-led team also uses Botox to treat migraines and chronic jaw pain (TMJ) by blocking pain receptors and reducing muscle tension.
At JK Med Spa, our providers use Botox to treat a variety of concerns, including:
What to Expect From Botox
-
1
Personalized Plan
Before administering your injections, your provider will discuss your treatment goals with you. Once we review your medical history and understand your situation, we determine the proper dosage and placement.

Strategic Injections
Next, a licensed medical professional answers your questions and helps you get comfortable. After cleansing the treatment area, we use an ultra-thin needle to inject Botox into the specific muscles responsible for your concerns.

Results & Maintenance
You can expect to see results within 14 days of receiving Botox. While there’s no downtime, you may experience minor bruising or swelling after your injections. Most patients’ results last 3 to 4 months, but maintenance injections can preserve your look for longer.

Frequently Asked Questions About Botox
Botox and other wrinkle relaxers, such as Xeomin, smooth facial lines by limiting specific muscle movements. These formulas treat dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive movements, such as smiling, talking, and frowning.
Dermal fillers are another kind of injectable that focuses on restoring volume to and addressing static wrinkles, which remain when your face is at rest. Beyond replenishing volume lost with age, fillers allow you to contour and define your natural features.
Neither injectable is better than the other. Rather, they are more suitable for different situations. In fact, our providers often recommend combining fillers with wrinkle relaxers for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
There is no universal “right time” to get Botox—just the right moment for you. Beyond reversing existing wrinkles, Botox prevents dynamic lines from developing and addresses chronic jaw pain and headaches. At JK Med Spa, Botox isn’t reserved for a specific age group because personalized injections offer a wide range of benefits.
While neurotoxins offer impactful results without surgery, your Botox provider determines the full effect. When you come to JK Med Spa for Botox, you don’t have to worry about walking out looking or feeling unlike yourself.
Refreshing your look without taking away from your ability to express yourself requires precision, artistry, and science, because your skin is just as unique as you are. That’s why, at JK Med Spa, our experts take the time to understand your facial anatomy. Grounded in medical precision, we use strategic injections to enhance your natural beauty with Botox, not take away from it.
Before your Botox appointment, avoid harsh skin treatments, tweezing, and blood thinners, including medications and alcohol, as directed. Remember to drink plenty of water to stay hydrated on the day of your visit. Do not lie flat for long periods of time for 4-6 hours immediately following treatment.
While you can return to work immediately after receiving Botox injections, avoid intense exercise for the next 24 hours. Sweat, friction, and heat can irritate your skin, interfering with the healing process. Continue avoiding blood thinners and harsh skin treatments as directed, and do not lie flat for at least 4 hours, as this may spread the formula to other areas.
