“This is the place. Dr. Thompson and her entire staff provide such a high level of personalized professional care. I wouldn’t trust my skin to any of the newer spas where the experience level is questionable. You’ll be so glad you came here!”- Holly C.

Medical DirectorKristen Bender, DNP
“Kristen is always amazing at communicating and listening to my needs. She shares her suggestions but always shares all options with me to make the final decision on treatments. She makes sure I’m comfortable, offering blankets, fidgets for pain, and the chair buttons to adjust myself. She is always kind and super easy to talk to. I love scheduling with her!” – Jennifer

Natural-Looking Results You Can Trust
Many patients worry that Botox will leave them looking “frozen” or unable to express emotion. When administered by an experienced provider, Botox delivers soft, natural-looking results that enhance your features without changing how you look or move. The goal is subtle rejuvenation—not overcorrection.
Proven Safety & FDA Approval
Botox has been used safely worldwide for over 30 years and has a long-standing track record in both medical and cosmetic care. It received FDA approval in 1989 for medical use and was later approved as Botox Cosmetic in 2002, following years of extensive research and clinical use.
Targeted Treatment for Expression Lines
Botox is most commonly used to smooth dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive facial movements. Popular treatment areas include the frown lines between the brows (“11s”) and crow’s feet around the eyes—helping the face appear more relaxed, refreshed, and youthful.
More Than Just Wrinkle Reduction
Beyond cosmetic benefits, Botox is a versatile treatment with many applications. It can effectively treat excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), help prevent chronic migraines, create a subtle brow lift, soften chin dimpling, lift downturned mouth corners, contour the jawline, and even provide gentle lifting of the lower face and neck when performed by a skilled provider.
Your Botox Appointment & Maintenance Experience
Knowing what to expect before and after your Botox treatment helps you feel confident, prepared, and relaxed. Below, we walk you through the appointment experience, recovery guidelines, and how to maintain your results long term for the most natural, refreshed outcome.
Arriving for Your Appointment
We recommend arriving 10–15 minutes early for your Botox appointment. This allows time to complete any paperwork, ask last-minute questions, and ensure your visit feels relaxed and unrushed.
Eating After Treatment
Yes, you can eat and drink normally after your Botox treatment. We encourage staying well hydrated and recommend avoiding alcohol for at least 24 hours following your appointment.
How Long Does Botox Last?
Botox results typically last 3–4 months, depending on muscle activity, metabolism, and treatment area. As muscle movement gradually returns, lines may slowly reappear.
Why Regular Touch-Ups Matter
Scheduling Botox 2–3 times per year helps keep muscles relaxed, maintain smooth results, and prevent lines from deepening over time.
Your Personalized Maintenance Plan
Your provider will create a customized Botox schedule based on your facial anatomy, goals, and how your body responds to treatment.
