Personalized Botox® Treatments in Murrieta

What Botox® Is and How It Works

Botox® (onabotulinumtoxinA) is an FDA-approved prescription medicine that is injected in small amounts into targeted facial muscles. It works by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for expression lines, which can soften the appearance of those lines while the treatment is active.

Botox® is intended to reduce the appearance of existing lines; it is not a permanent solution and does not stop the natural aging process. Treatments are typically repeated on a schedule determined by your provider.

Common Treatment Areas

At Zen Wellness Med Spa, Botox® is commonly used to address expression lines in areas such as:

• Forehead lines — the horizontal lines that appear when you raise your brows. • Frown lines (the “11s”) — the vertical lines between the eyebrows. • Crow’s feet — the lines that form at the outer corners of the eyes.

Additional provider-approved areas may be available. Your provider will confirm which areas are appropriate for you during your consultation, and dosing for each area is determined individually.

What Happens During a Consultation and Treatment

Your visit begins with a consultation. Your provider will review your medical history, discuss the lines you’d like to address, examine your facial movement, and confirm whether Botox® is a suitable option for you. Together you’ll agree on the treatment areas and an estimated number of units.

The treatment itself is brief. Using a very fine needle, your provider places small injections into the targeted muscles. Most clients describe the sensation as a quick pinch rather than significant discomfort. Appointments are typically short, and you can usually return to most normal activities afterward.

What to Expect Afterward

After treatment, you may notice small bumps at the injection sites, which typically resolve within minutes to a few hours. Mild bruising, swelling, or tenderness can occur. Your provider will give you specific aftercare instructions, which commonly include avoiding strenuous exercise, lying flat, or rubbing the treated areas for a short period.

Possible side effects vary by individual and treatment area. Your provider will review these with you before treatment. Contact the spa if you experience anything unexpected or have concerns during your recovery.

When Results May Appear and How Long They May Last

Results are not immediate. Many people begin to notice changes within several days, with the full effect typically visible within about one to two weeks. Results are temporary and gradually wear off over time, commonly lasting around three to four months for many clients.

How long results last varies from person to person and by treatment area. Your provider can give you a more individualized expectation and recommend a follow-up schedule.

Pricing

Botox® is priced at $9 per unit. The total cost of your treatment depends on the number of units used and the areas treated, which is determined by your licensed provider during your consultation based on your facial anatomy and goals.

Selected mini-area services are available for $99. Your provider will confirm which mini-area options are appropriate for you during your visit.

Because dosing is tailored to each individual, your final pricing is confirmed during your consultation once your treatment plan is established. Please contact us if you have any questions about pricing before your visit.
