Plan your consultationPrescription treatment for adults. Suitability, results, and recovery vary.
Understand the difference.
Wrinkle relaxers use botulinum toxin to temporarily reduce activity in selected muscles. They can soften certain expression lines; they do not add facial volume. BOTOX Cosmetic is FDA approved for moderate to severe crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines in adults. Approved uses differ by product.
Crow’s feet
The fine lines beside your eyes can become more noticeable when you smile or squint. This section focuses on the outer corners of the eyes, rather than under-eye hollows or volume loss.
What to discuss
Discuss how the lines change with expression, your eye-area concerns, and the movement you want to retain. Tell your provider about dry eyes, eye surgery, or changes in your vision.
Will this address my under-eye hollows?
Crow’s-feet treatment and under-eye filler address different concerns. An assessment helps distinguish expression lines from hollows or skin changes.
Forehead lines
Horizontal lines across the forehead often appear when you lift your eyebrows. Your consultation considers both those lines and how your brows move.
What to discuss
Ask how the proposed plan accounts for your brow position and existing heaviness or asymmetry. For BOTOX Cosmetic, the prescribing information calls for forehead treatment together with the frown-line area to reduce the potential for brow droop.
Can I treat only the forehead?
Your provider should explain the areas recommended for your anatomy and the selected product. A forehead plan may involve the area between your eyebrows as well.
Frown lines / “11s”
These vertical lines sit between the eyebrows and can become more pronounced when you frown or concentrate. They are different from the horizontal lines higher on the forehead.
What to discuss
Discuss the movement between your brows and whether the lines remain visible when your face is relaxed. The plan should reflect your expression, facial balance, and goals.
Will every crease disappear?
Treatment temporarily reduces selected muscle activity; it does not guarantee removal of every line. Ask what improvement is realistic for your skin, including lines visible at rest.
A plan before a product.
ReNuMe lists Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin among its wrinkle-relaxer options. Confirm current availability with our team. Ask your provider which product is appropriate, its approved uses, whether any proposed use is off-label, and why it is recommended for you. Brands and dosing units are not interchangeable.

Lip flip
A lip flip uses a wrinkle relaxer around the upper lip; it is different from adding volume with filler. This use is off-label for BOTOX Cosmetic. Ask about suitability and effects on lip movement before deciding.

Nefertiti Lift / neck and jawline
Ask whether your concern relates to neck-muscle bands, skin laxity, or volume. BOTOX Cosmetic has an approved adult indication for moderate to severe platysma bands; a named “Nefertiti Lift” can involve a different plan. Have your provider explain the proposed areas, any off-label use, limitations, and risks. It is not a surgical lift.
Ask about neck and jawline careBring your questions.
Your health comes first.
Share your medical history, allergies, medicines and supplements, past facial procedures, and previous toxin treatments—including the product and date. Mention pregnancy, plans for pregnancy, breastfeeding, muscle or nerve conditions, and any swallowing or breathing difficulties.
Do not stop prescribed medicines or blood thinners on your own. Ask your treating clinician about preparation.
Know your plan.
Discuss who will treat you, expected benefits and limitations, the proposed areas, total cost, alternatives, aftercare, and follow-up. Mention any event you are planning around. You can ask questions and take time to decide.
Treatment should not proceed with an infection at the injection site or a known allergy to the selected toxin or its ingredients. Pregnancy and breastfeeding safety is not established; discuss timing with your clinician.
What patients ask.
When will I see results, and how long do they last?
Results develop gradually. For BOTOX Cosmetic in these three areas, the manufacturer reports that changes may begin in 1–2 days, with full results in 30 days, and may last up to four months. This is not a promise for every patient or every product. Ask about the timing for your specific plan and allow time before an important event.
How much does treatment cost? How many units will I need?
Ask our team for current pricing. Your provider should explain the proposed product, areas, dose, and total cost before you agree to treatment. Confirm any consultation or follow-up fees. Units are product-specific and cannot be compared directly across brands; a lower price per unit does not necessarily mean a lower total cost.
Will I still look like myself?
Explain the expression and movement you want to keep. Treatment planning aims to balance your goals with your anatomy, but no particular look, degree of symmetry, or outcome can be guaranteed. Ask your provider to discuss realistic expectations before treatment.
What happens at the appointment? Does it hurt?
The visit includes an assessment and discussion before any agreed treatment. Injections use a fine needle and can cause brief discomfort. Ask about comfort options and the time to allow for the whole visit, especially if this is your first consultation.
Can I go back to work? What about exercise, makeup, or a facial?
Many people resume usual activities soon afterward, but redness, tenderness, swelling, or bruising can be visible. Avoid rubbing or massaging treated areas. Ask your provider for specific instructions about exercise, makeup, skin treatments, and any other restrictions; follow your individual aftercare plan.
When should I return? Can I get a touch-up?
Ask when your provider wants to review the result and how to contact the team with concerns. Do not assume an adjustment is needed while the effect is still developing. For BOTOX Cosmetic, the manufacturer advises spacing treatment at least 90 days apart. Any further treatment requires a provider assessment; confirm any associated fees.
Is this the same as dermal filler?
No. Wrinkle relaxers temporarily reduce selected muscle activity. Dermal fillers are a different category used for selected volume or contour concerns. The appropriate option depends on what is causing the concern; choosing no treatment is also an option.
Who will provide my treatment?
Before booking, ask our team for the treating professional’s name, license, relevant experience, and the medical oversight for your visit. Your consultation is the place to ask about qualifications and to understand who to contact afterward.
Before you decide.
Possible effects include injection-site pain, redness, swelling, bruising, headache, unwanted weakness, and temporary eyelid or brow droop. Eye symptoms such as dryness or vision changes can occur. Your provider should explain risks specific to your health, product, and treatment area. This is not a complete list.
When to seek urgent help
Botulinum toxin products carry a boxed warning about effects spreading beyond the injection area. Serious symptoms can occur hours to weeks later. Seek emergency medical help for trouble breathing, swallowing, or speaking, or signs of a severe allergic reaction. For other new or worsening symptoms, contact your treating clinician promptly. Do not wait for a website message response in an emergency.
General education does not replace your medical consultation, consent discussion, product Medication Guide, or individual aftercare instructions.
