Botox Injections Specialist in Shoreline, WA

Botox, or botulinum toxin type A, is a highly effective, FDA-approved injectable that temporarily relaxes the facial muscles responsible for expression lines and wrinkles. At Bella MD Health and Wellness, our skilled providers precisely administer Botox into targeted muscles, blocking the nerve signals that cause muscle contractions. This process prevents the skin from creasing, especially in areas prone to dynamic wrinkles such as frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines.

Patients see noticeable results as their skin appears smoother and wrinkles are visibly reduced, particularly those caused by repeated facial movements like frowning, squinting, or raising the eyebrows. As muscle activity decreases, the skin has time to recover, allowing lines to soften and fade.

Botox treatments typically last three to four months, with maintenance appointments available to help you maintain your refreshed appearance. Our team is dedicated to providing safe, natural-looking results tailored to your unique facial features and aesthetic goals.

Botox is commonly administered to several key facial areas for optimal rejuvenation. For example, we frequently treat the forehead to smooth horizontal lines that form from repeated facial expressions, as well as the glabellar region (the area between the eyebrows) to diminish noticeable frown lines, often referred to as “11s.” The outer corners of the eyes, known as crow’s feet, also respond beautifully to Botox, resulting in a softer, more youthful look around the eyes.

Botox is also used to address bunny lines—those fine wrinkles on the bridge of the nose that appear when you scrunch your face or smile. We offer specialized techniques to treat vertical lip lines (sometimes called smoker’s lines) and even create a subtle “lip flip,” which gives the upper lip a naturally fuller appearance. For patients bothered by chin dimpling or a “cobblestone” texture, Botox can help smooth the area by relaxing overactive chin muscles. Additionally, treating the masseter muscles along the jawline can soften a square jaw or provide relief from teeth grinding and jaw tension.

Typically, the effects of Botox last between three to four months for most individuals. After your Botox injection, you may start to notice smoother skin and a reduction in fine lines within just a few days, with full results appearing around one to two weeks after treatment.

Over time, as your muscle activity gradually returns, lines or wrinkles may begin to reappear. This is a natural sign that it may be time to schedule your next appointment to maintain your refreshed look. The duration of Botox’s effects can vary depending on factors like the area treated, the amount of product used, your personal metabolism, and how regularly you receive treatments. Some patients find that with consistent appointments, results can last up to six months, while others may notice the effects wearing off sooner.

We encourage you to follow your provider’s advice and book follow-up appointments as needed to ensure you always look and feel your best.

Botox is generally safe and effective for a broad range of skin types, including oily, dry, combination, and sensitive skin. Because Botox works on the underlying muscles rather than the skin’s surface, your skin type does not significantly affect the results or safety of the procedure. However, if you have active skin conditions such as infections, inflammation, or open wounds at the planned injection site, our providers at Bella MD Health and Wellness may recommend postponing treatment until these issues are resolved.
 
Age Considerations for Botox

Most Botox patients are adults seeking to minimize dynamic wrinkles—such as frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines—that commonly appear as we age. While there is no strict minimum age for cosmetic Botox, most experts recommend beginning treatment in the mid-to-late twenties or early thirties, especially for those noticing early signs of aging or wishing to take a preventative approach. Botox is not typically offered to individuals under 18 years of age unless it is being considered for specific medical indications.
