HOW BOTOX® COSMETIC WORKS
A combination of factors can cause facial lines. It’s not just about the cellular changes that may occur, or reduction of collagen, or damage caused by free radicals from the sun and the environment. Repeated muscle contractions from frowning, squinting, or raising eyebrows cause skin to furrow and fold, gradually resulting in the formation of facial lines. BOTOX® Cosmetic works beneath the surface and temporarily reduces the underlying muscle activity that causes moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead lines in adults – to help them look visibly smoother.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Botox and how does it work?
Botox is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that temporarily relaxes facial muscles to smooth wrinkles and fine lines. At Purefico MedSpa in Cornelius, NC, we use Botox to target dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated facial expressions, including forehead lines, crow's feet, and frown lines between the eyebrows.
How long do Botox results last?
Botox results typically last 3-4 months, though some patients experience benefits for up to 6 months with regular treatments. Results vary based on individual metabolism, muscle strength, and treatment area. Most patients at our Lake Norman area clinic schedule maintenance appointments every 3-4 months to maintain their results.
Is Botox painful?
Botox injections cause minimal discomfort. Most patients describe the sensation as a small pinch or mosquito bite. At Purefico MedSpa, we use ultra-fine needles and can apply numbing cream if desired. The entire treatment takes only 10-15 minutes, and you can return to normal activities immediately.
When will I see Botox results?
You'll begin to notice Botox results within 3-5 days, with full effects visible at 10-14 days. This gradual onset creates natural-looking results. We recommend scheduling your Botox treatment at least 2 weeks before any important events to ensure optimal results.
What areas can be treated with Botox?
Botox effectively treats forehead lines, frown lines (11's between eyebrows), crow's feet, bunny lines on the nose, lip lines, chin dimpling, neck bands, and can provide a subtle brow lift. At Purefico MedSpa in Cornelius, our experienced injectors create customized treatment plans to address your specific concerns and aesthetic goals.
Is Botox safe?
Yes, Botox is very safe and has been FDA-approved for cosmetic use since 2002. Millions of treatments are performed annually with excellent safety records. At Purefico MedSpa, our medical professionals are extensively trained in facial anatomy and injection techniques to ensure safe, natural-looking results.
