HOW IT WORKS
Results that look like you.
Botox is an FDA-approved purified protein that temporarily relaxes targeted facial muscles. With less repetitive movement, lines soften and over time, form less readily. Treatments take 15 to 20 minutes. Results typically last 3 to 4 months, with many guests experiencing longer duration as they maintain consistent care.
Consultation
A one-on-one review of your facial anatomy, goals, and areas of concern. Your provider sets realistic expectations before any treatment begins.
Results
Movement begins to change within 3 to 5 days. Full results visible at 10 to 14 days.
Treatment
Precise placement using the smallest needle available. Most guests feel minimal discomfort. Sessions are quick and straightforward.
Maintenance
Most guests return every 3 to 4 months. Consistent treatment, many find they need fewer units over time.
TREATMENT AREAS
Each area requires its own technique.
We know the difference.
Each area of the face responds differently to Botox. Dosing, depth, and placement all vary and getting it right requires provider experience, not just technique. These are the areas we treat most at Graceology:
Forehead lines
Lip lines
Frown lines (11s)
Chin dimpling
Crow's feet
Masseter

FAQ
Frequent asked questions.
Does Botox hurt?
Most guests feel minimal discomfort. A brief, shallow injection with a fine needle. Sessions are short and numbing is available if preferred.
Will I look natural?
That is the standard we hold ourselves to. Our providers are trained in conservative dosing and precise placement to preserve natural expression. Results should look like a more rested, refreshed version of you.
How long does Botox last?
Typically 3 to 4 months for first-time guests. With consistent treatment, many guests find results lasting longer as muscles respond to regular conditioning.
How many units will I need?
It depends on the treatment area, your muscle strength, and your goals. Your provider will give you a clear unit recommendation at your consultation. We do not quote without seeing your face first.
What is the difference between Botox and filler?
Botox relaxes muscle movement to reduce dynamic lines. Filler adds or restores volume to smooth static lines, enhance contours, or replace lost fullness. They address different concerns and are often used together for more comprehensive results. Your provider can help you determine which is right for your goals.
Is Botox safe?
Yes. Botox is FDA-approved and has one of the longest and most well-documented safety records of any aesthetic treatment. At Graceology Med Spa, all injections are performed by licensed medical providers trained in facial anatomy and injection technique.
