Your Treatment Areas
We’ll watch how your face moves as you frown, raise your brows, and smile. Then we’ll explain where Botox is likely to make a difference.
Botox in Denver, CO
Wrinkle-relaxing injections for a softer, more rested look.
Treatment Time About 10 to 15 minutes
Downtime Little to no downtime, though bruising is possible
Botox is an injectable treatment for lines that form from facial expressions, such as forehead lines, frown lines between the brows, and crow’s feet. Small doses relax the muscles that crease the skin, softening those lines and smoothing out the skin. Results develop over about two weeks and wear off gradually after a few months.
At Luxe Forté Medical Spa in Cherry Creek, we’ll help you understand what Botox could do for your face. We’ll walk you through what to expect, from planning your treatment areas to what you’ll notice in the weeks afterward.

What Botox Can Improve
Botox softens facial lines caused by repeated muscle movement. It is FDA approved for forehead lines, frown lines between the brows, crow’s feet, and vertical bands on the neck. At Luxe Forté, we also use it for bunny lines on the nose, a dimpled chin, a subtle brow lift, a lip flip, and jawline slimming. These uses are off-label, and we’ll explain what that means before you decide. Lines that stay visible when your face is at rest may soften without disappearing.
Planning Your Botox Treatment
Treatment areas and dosing will be confirmed during your consultation.
Dosing and Units
Botox is measured in units. The number you need depends on the area, the strength of the muscle, and how much movement you want to keep. We’ll recommend a dose for each area. Often we’ll start with a conservative first treatment, since it’s easier to add a little at a follow-up than to wait for a strong result to wear off.
Product Choice
Luxe Forté also offers Dysport and Jeuveau, which belong to the same family as Botox. Each product works slightly differently, and their units are not interchangeable. We’ll explain whether one may suit you better.
Treatment Timing
Botox takes about two weeks to reach full effect. If you’re planning treatment before a wedding or another important event, schedule it about a month ahead. That leaves time for a follow-up adjustment if you need one.
Are You a Good Candidate?
Botox may be worth considering when expression lines are your main concern. You may be a candidate if you:
- Have facial lines that deepen when you frown, squint, or raise your brows
- Want improvement without surgery or downtime
- Are comfortable with results that wear off and need maintenance
- Are in good general health
We’ll review your medications and medical history to determine whether Botox is appropriate for you. Treatment is usually postponed during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or if there is an infection where you’d be treated. Certain nerve and muscle conditions may mean Botox should be avoided.
If volume loss or sagging is your main concern, dermal fillers or a skin tightening treatment may be more useful. Our staff can help you select the treatment that is best for your needs.

- 02
Preparation
Your skin is cleansed. Topical numbing can be applied if you’re sensitive to needles.
- 03
Injections
Your provider uses a fine needle to place small amounts of Botox into the treatment area.
- 04
Aftercare Guidance
We guide you through home care, your follow-up visit, and what to expect for results.
Your Recovery and Results
There is little to no downtime after Botox. Here is what most clients can expect:
-
Immediately Afterward
You may see small raised bumps or pinpoint redness where the needle went in. These usually fade within an hour. Most clients return to work and usual activities the same day. Avoid rubbing or pressing on the treated areas.
-
First 24 Hours
Avoid strenuous exercise and heat exposure, such as saunas or hot yoga, for 24 hours. Light activity is fine. Mild bruising, tenderness, or a headache can occur.
-
Days 3 to 14
Muscle movement softens gradually, and lines start to look smoother. Full effect usually takes about two weeks. We’ll see you around then to assess your results and make small adjustments if needed.
-
Three to Four Months
The effect gradually wears off. Many clients schedule their next treatment when they notice lines returning.
-
When to Contact Us
Contact our team if you notice a drooping eyelid or brow, uneven results, or a bruise that worsens. Seek medical care right away for trouble swallowing, speaking, or breathing. These effects are rare but can be serious.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you don't see your question, just reach out
How much does Botox cost?
Neurotoxins are $4.50 to $14 per unit, depending on the product. A typical Botox visit comes to about $300 to $800, depending on the areas treated and the units involved. You’ll receive a quote for your recommended treatment plan during your consultation.
Does Botox hurt?
Most clients feel a quick pinch with each injection from the fine needle. Topical numbing is available if you’re sensitive. Tell your provider if you’re uncomfortable so we can respond.
How long do results last?
Results typically last about 3 to 4 months, though this varies from person to person. We’ll discuss a maintenance schedule based on how your results hold.
What is the difference between Botox, Dysport, and Jeuveau?
All three relax facial muscles in a similar way, but they differ in formulation and may differ slightly in how quickly they take effect and how long they last. Doses are also measured differently, so units of one product do not equal units of another. We’ll recommend a product based on your treatment areas and how you’ve responded to injectables before.
Will I look frozen?
Most clients want softer lines while keeping natural expressions, and we plan your dose with that in mind. Everyone responds a little differently, so we check your results at about two weeks and adjust at your next visit if needed.
What are the risks of Botox?
Bruising, swelling, tenderness, and headache can occur. A drooping eyelid or brow is possible and usually improves as the product wears off. In rare cases, the effect can spread beyond the treatment area and cause weakness or trouble swallowing, speaking, or breathing. We’ll review your medical history before treatment, and you should seek care right away if these symptoms appear.
How should I prepare?
Share your medication list with us, including blood thinners and supplements that may increase bruising. Tell us if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a nerve or muscle condition. Do not stop prescribed medication without your prescribing clinician’s guidance.
Can I combine Botox with other treatments?
Yes, Botox is often part of a broader treatment plan. For example, dermal fillers can address volume loss that Botox does not correct, and resurfacing can improve skin texture and minimize discoloration. We’ll recommend a sequence and schedule based on the treatments you want to receive.
