Botox before and after results at Laser and Me show natural-looking improvements for forehead lines, crow's feet, frown lines, masseter jaw slimming, and lip flip. Our Nurse Practitioner Pavel Atamas uses conservative injection techniques to deliver subtle, refreshed results that preserve your natural facial expression. Here is what to expect from Botox at our Midtown Manhattan medspa.
Botox Before and After: Forehead Lines
Forehead lines are horizontal wrinkles that form from repeated upward movement of the eyebrows. Before Botox, these lines are visible at rest and deepen with expression. After Botox forehead treatment at Laser and Me, the frontalis muscle is relaxed and the lines smooth significantly. Most clients use 10 to 20 units for the forehead. Results are visible within 3 to 7 days and last 3 to 4 months.
Our Nurse Practitioner uses a conservative approach to forehead Botox, preserving natural brow movement while smoothing the lines. The goal is a refreshed, rested appearance, not a frozen or expressionless look.
Botox Before and After: Frown Lines (Glabella)
Frown lines, also called the glabella or the 11s, are the vertical lines between the eyebrows that form from repeated frowning and squinting. Before Botox, these lines can make a person appear angry or tired even when relaxed. After Botox glabella treatment, the corrugator and procerus muscles are relaxed and the lines soften or disappear entirely.
The glabella is one of the most impactful areas for Botox. Most clients use 20 to 25 units. Results are visible within 3 to 5 days and last 3 to 4 months. Many clients report that smoothing the frown lines makes them look more approachable and less fatigued.
Botox Before and After: Crow's Feet
Crow's feet are the fine lines that radiate from the outer corners of the eyes when smiling or squinting. Before Botox, these lines are visible at rest and deepen significantly with expression. After Botox crow's feet treatment, the orbicularis oculi muscle is relaxed and the lines smooth considerably.
Crow's feet Botox at Laser and Me typically uses 10 to 15 units per side. The treatment is precise and does not affect the ability to blink or close the eyes naturally. Results last 3 to 4 months and are often one of the most noticeable improvements clients see in their before and after photos.
Botox Before and After: Masseter Jaw Slimming
Masseter Botox for jaw slimming is one of the most transformative treatments available. Before masseter Botox, clients with a wide or square jaw due to enlarged masseter muscles often feel their face looks too angular or masculine. After masseter Botox at Laser and Me, the masseter muscles gradually reduce in size over 4 to 6 weeks, creating a slimmer, more oval facial contour.
Most clients use 25 to 50 units per side for masseter jaw slimming. The full effect is visible at 6 to 8 weeks and lasts 4 to 6 months. With regular maintenance, the masseter muscle continues to reduce in size over time, meaning many clients need fewer units at each subsequent appointment.
Botox Before and After: Lip Flip
The Botox lip flip is a subtle treatment that uses 4 to 6 units of Botox injected into the orbicularis oris muscle above the upper lip. Before the lip flip, some clients have an upper lip that curls inward when smiling, making the lip appear thinner. After the Botox lip flip, the muscle relaxes and the upper lip gently rolls outward, creating the appearance of a fuller, more defined lip without filler.
The lip flip is one of the most affordable Botox treatments, using only 4 to 6 units. Results are visible within 3 to 5 days and last 2 to 3 months. It is an excellent option for clients who want subtle lip enhancement without the commitment or cost of lip filler.
How Long Does Botox Last? What the Before and After Timeline Looks Like
Understanding the Botox timeline helps set realistic expectations for your before and after results:
Days 1 to 3: Botox is injected. No visible change yet. Mild redness or swelling at injection sites may be present for a few hours.
Days 3 to 7: Botox begins to take effect. You will notice the treated muscles becoming less active. Lines begin to soften.
Days 7 to 14: Full effect is visible. This is when before and after photos are most dramatic. Lines are significantly smoother and the treated area looks refreshed.
Months 1 to 3: Results are at their peak. The treated muscles remain relaxed and lines stay smooth.
Months 3 to 4: Botox begins to wear off gradually. Muscle activity slowly returns. Lines begin to reappear, though often less deeply than before treatment because the muscle has been in a relaxed state.
Month 4 and beyond: Most clients schedule their next appointment at the 3 to 4 month mark to maintain their results.
