What Is Botox?
Many fear what Botox is actually made out of and how it reacts with your body. Botox is a neuromodulator made from a purified form of Botulinum toxin, which is carefully processed to ensure safety and efficacy. When injected in small, controlled doses by our qualified professionals, Botox injections safely relaxes specific muscles, reducing wrinkles without affecting overall facial expressions. This precision and proven track record for safety have made Botox a trusted and popular choice for wrinkle prevention and anti-aging worldwide.

How does Botox work?
Botox works by reducing muscle movement under the skin, which is the real cause of wrinkles. Wrinkles are essentially folds of skin that are caused by the muscles under the skin contracting thousands and thousands of times, eventually “etching” in wrinkles in their fold points. You can notice this by looking in the mirror and raising your eyebrows-you will see lines form where the skin wrinkles on your forehead! Botox works to block the nerve signals in these muscles, thereby stopping the formation of these wrinkles.
Does Botox ever stop working?
Sometimes people who have a routine of getting Botox for multiple years will start to see a diminishing effect. However, this is not unique to Botox and is a phenomenon we see with every neurotoxin. Sometimes, people will find that switching from Botox to Dysport or vice-versa will achieve greater results.
What can I expect during my BOTOX treatment?
During your Botox consultation, we will assess the muscle movement in the areas you hope to treat (forehead, “11” lines, “Crow’s Feet” etc.) and recommend a range of dosing options. Once we determine the correct dosing, your skin will be marked with a skin marker to note the correct placement of the injections. Then one of our aesthetic injectors will provide the injections. After this, your skin will be cleaned off and your appointment will be complete.
How many units of Botox do I need?
This is a great question, and the answer really depends on “How much residual movement you are okay with?” With Botox injections, the number of units correlates with the reduction in movement, so a higher dose will equal less movement, and a lighter dose will result in decreased, but with some residual movement. Some people prefer to have NO muscle movement left, and some people prefer to retain more movement (in order to be more expressive). Below are some general guidelines to help you plan your discussion with your injector.
Does Botox hurt?
Receiving Botox injections feels like a little bee sting. Some people do not mind it at all and some people like to squeeze on stress balls. Either way, you will definitely think it is worth it! Our medical professionals will make sure you are comfortable and help you through any worries you may have about receiving Botox injections.
Can Botox be combined with other procedures like chemical peels, fillers, etc.?
Yes. Botox can be used with nearly every other treatment we have, with a few exceptions. With the few treatments that require you to wait until receiving Botox injections, the maximum wait time is 2 WEEKS.
How long does Botox last?
Generally speaking, you can expect BOTOX to have a VERY NOTICEABLE effect for 2-3 months, and after this, you will see the diminishing effect until, usually, NO effect is seen at the 5-month mark. However, the most important thing to remember with Botox is:
DOSE = DURATION
The more units of Botox you receive per area, the longer it works.
For more details, read more our article about how long Botox lasts.
How long does it take for Botox to work?
You will start to see it work at around day 5 and will continue to notice a progressively stronger effect until it peaks at day 14.
Some people may see the results as soon as 24 to 48 hours after the treatment, while others may take up to a week to see the full effects. The exact amount of time it takes for Botox to start working depends on several factors, including the individual's metabolism, muscle activity, and the amount of Botox used. It's important to follow the post-treatment instructions provided, such as avoiding rubbing or massaging the treated area, to ensure that the Botox takes effect properly. It's recommended to wait for at least a week before making any judgments about the results, as the full effects of Botox may not be apparent until this time.
Will I look “Fake” with Botox?
If used correctly, even full doses of Botox with maximum effect will look natural! It all depends on the correct placement as to make sure areas critical for expression and natural look are properly treated. Our trained medical professionals are highly skilled in facial anatomy and will ensure that you receive the right amount of Botox in the proper areas for your desired look.
Are there any side effects of Botox?
Yes. For a full description of all side effects, please see this prescribing information. For ease of the questions, the most common side effect we see is when there is an asymmetric effect, such as one eyebrow results in being higher than the other. This can, however (usually) be easily corrected. Other common side effects are bruising or swelling at the site of injection. Very rarely people can experience a local allergic reaction or an eyelid droop where some of the Botox traveled to, and that is temporarily unable to open fully.

beyond wrinkle reduction–
what else can botox be used for?
Botox injections offer more than just wrinkle reduction. At Maui Med Spa, we leverage the versatility of Botox to tackle a wide range of medical and aesthetic concerns, providing comprehensive solutions and transformative outcomes for our clients.
excessive sweating Treatment:
Botox injections have been FDA-approved for the treatment of hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating. By targeting the sweat glands in areas such as the underarms, palms, and feet, Botox can effectively block the nerve signals that trigger excessive sweating, providing relief for individuals who struggle with this condition.
chronic Migraine Relief:
For those who suffer from chronic migraines, Botox can offer a welcomed release from prolonged tension. Clinical studies have shown that Botox injections can reduce the frequency and severity of migraine headaches, providing long-lasting relief for patients who have not responded well to other treatments.
BOTOX FOR TMJ Pain Management:
Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ) can cause discomfort and pain in the jaw joint and muscles that control jaw movement. Botox injections can help alleviate TMJ-related pain by relaxing the muscles responsible for jaw clenching and grinding, providing relief for individuals suffering from this condition.
What is the Difference between Botox & Dysport?
When comparing Botox vs. Dysport, it's important to understand their differences. Both treatments target wrinkles by relaxing muscles, but Dysport spreads more easily, making it better for larger areas like the forehead, while Botox is more precise for smaller areas like crow's feet. Dysport usually works faster, in about 2-5 days, compared to Botox which may take up to 7 days, but both reach full effect by day 14. Cost-wise, Dysport tends to be a bit cheaper.
