What Is Botox?
BOTOX® Cosmetic is an FDA-approved injectable neuromodulator that temporarily relaxes targeted facial muscles. By reducing muscle activity, Botox softens wrinkles and prevents deeper creases from forming.
Common treatment areas:
- Horizontal forehead lines
- Frown lines (between the brows)
- Crow’s feet (around the eyes)
Because Botox addresses dynamic wrinkles (caused by repeated facial expressions), it’s an effective, non-surgical solution for a smoother, more youthful look.
Why Choose Botox at Mentor Plastic Surgery & MedSpa?
While many providers offer Botox, choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon gives you the advantage of advanced anatomical knowledge and proven clinical expertise.

Botox Procedure & Recovery
The Procedure
Botox is delivered through a series of tiny injections into targeted muscles using ultra-fine needles. Most treatments take 15–20 minutes.
Recovery
- Mild redness or swelling may occur and usually resolves within hours
- You may resume normal daily activities immediately
- Avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, or lying down flat for 4–6 hours after treatment
Results
- Subtle improvements appear within 3–5 days
- Full results develop in 10–14 days
- Results typically last 3–4 months before touch-up treatments are needed
Dr. Vanek also offers other neurotoxin options such as Dysport®, Xeomin®, and Jeuveau® to ensure the best match for your anatomy.
Botox vs. Dermal Fillers
- Botox: Best for softening wrinkles caused by muscle movement (crow’s feet, forehead, frown lines).
- Dermal Fillers: Best for restoring volume (cheeks, lips, under eyes) or smoothing deeper folds.
Many patients combine both for a comprehensive facial rejuvenation plan.
