Botox in Aguadilla, PR

At Icala Medical Aesthetics in Aguadilla, PR, Dr. Lilliam Díaz-Vélez and our expert team use Botox® to smooth wrinkles and help patients achieve a refreshed, youthful appearance without surgery. As an experienced ophthalmologist and oculoplastic surgeon, Dr. Díaz-Vélez brings medical precision and artistic balance to every injection, ensuring results that look natural and refined.

Concerns Botox Treats

Botox is one of the most widely used neurotoxins for treating lines and wrinkles caused by repetitive facial movement (dynamic wrinkles). It temporarily relaxes the muscles that create expression lines, allowing the overlying skin to smooth and soften. Common treatment areas include:

  • Forehead lines
  • Frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines)
  • Crow’s feet around the eyes
  • “Bunny lines” on the upper nose
  • Chin dimpling or uneven texture
  • Gummy smile
  • Vertical neck bands

Beyond cosmetic use, Botox is also effective for medical conditions involving involuntary muscle contractions, such as blepharospasm and hemifacial spasm. With her high-level expertise in both ophthalmology and oculoplastic surgery, Dr. Díaz-Vélez has the unique skills required to administer Botox for both aesthetic and medical purposes.

How Botox Works

Botox targets the nerve signals that cause muscle contractions. By reducing the muscle’s activity in precise areas, it smooths wrinkles and prevents them from deepening while maintaining natural facial expression. Treatments are performed with fine needles and minimal discomfort. Each session typically lasts 15-30 minutes, and most patients return to regular activities immediately afterward.

What to Expect During and After Botox

Your Botox treatment starts with a consultation and facial evaluation by Dr. Díaz-Vélez. She identifies muscle movement patterns and tailors injection placement to achieve balanced, symmetrical results. During treatment, most patients describe only a slight pinching sensation. Afterward, mild redness or swelling may occur but typically resolves within a few hours.

Our team provides detailed aftercare instructions to maximize results, including avoiding strenuous activity or pressure on the treated areas for the first 24 hours. Patients can expect subtle, natural rejuvenation rather than an overdone or frozen look. 

Results begin to appear within as little as a day or two, with full improvement visible around two weeks. The effects typically last three to four months, and consistent maintenance sessions can help retrain muscles for longer-lasting smoothness.
