Frequently Asked Questions
How Soon Can I Return to Work After Botox?
Most patients return to work or daily responsibilities immediately after treatment. There is no required downtime, making Botox easy to fit into a busy schedule. Minor redness at injection sites can usually be concealed and fades quickly.
Will Botox Change How My Face Moves?
When administered correctly, Botox softens targeted muscle activity without affecting your ability to express emotions. The goal is to reduce unwanted lines while preserving natural movement. Dr. Díaz-Vélez carefully adjusts dosage and placement to avoid a stiff or frozen appearance.
Is Botox Safe When Performed Around the Eyes?
Yes, when performed by a physician with specialized training in eye and facial anatomy. As an ophthalmologist and oculoplastic surgeon, Dr. Díaz-Vélez has advanced expertise in treating delicate areas around the eyes. This significantly enhances both safety and precision.
How Many Units of Botox Will I Need?
The number of units varies depending on the treatment area, muscle strength, and individual goals. Some patients require fewer units for subtle refinement, while others need more for stronger muscle activity. Your exact dosage is determined during your personalized consultation.
Can Botox Be Combined With Other Aesthetic Treatments?
Botox is often combined with dermal fillers, skin rejuvenation treatments, or medical-grade skincare for more comprehensive facial enhancement. Combining treatments can address both dynamic wrinkles and volume-related concerns. Your provider will recommend options that align with your goals.
Is Botox a Good Option for First-Time Aesthetic Patients?
Yes, Botox is frequently chosen by patients new to aesthetic treatments because it is temporary, predictable, and minimally invasive. It can be used preventively to slow the development of deeper expression lines. Many patients appreciate the subtle, refreshed results it provides.
