Botox FAQ

Botox results typically begin to appear within 24-48 hours, with full effects visible in 7-14 days as the neurotoxin gradually relaxes the targeted muscles. Results typically last 3-4 months for most patients, although this can vary depending on individual metabolism, muscle strength, and injection technique. First-time patients may initially notice a shorter duration, with longer-lasting results developing after regular treatments as the muscles become accustomed to contracting less forcefully. Factors affecting longevity include your age, lifestyle, sun exposure, and facial expressions. Dr. Khan uses precise dosing and placement to optimize both the appearance and duration of your results. Many patients schedule follow-up appointments every 3-4 months to maintain their refreshed appearance.
When administered by an experienced injector like Dr. Khan using proper technique and conservative dosing, Botox should never create a frozen or unnatural appearance. The goal is to soften dynamic wrinkles while preserving your natural expressions and facial animation. Dr. Khan employs artistic precision to target specific muscles while leaving others unaffected, thereby allowing for normal facial movement and expression of emotions. Unnatural results typically occur from over-injection, improper placement, or inexperienced technique. Dr. Khan's conservative approach prioritizes natural-looking enhancements that make you appear refreshed and rested, rather than obviously treated. You'll maintain your ability to smile, frown, and express emotions naturally while enjoying smoother, more youthful-looking skin.
Botox treatment is quick, comfortable, and requires no downtime. The procedure typically takes 10-15 minutes, beginning with cleansing and marking of injection sites. Dr. Khan uses ultra-fine needles to inject precise amounts of Botox into targeted muscles. Most patients describe the sensation as minor pinpricks with minimal discomfort. Ice may be applied for comfort, though many patients require no numbing. After treatment, you can immediately return to normal activities with few restrictions. You'll be advised to avoid lying down for 4 hours, engaging in strenuous exercise for 24 hours, and receiving facial massages for one week. Some patients experience minor redness or swelling at injection sites, which resolves within hours. Dr. Khan provides detailed aftercare instructions to optimize your results.
Yes, Botox complements other aesthetic treatments beautifully for comprehensive facial enhancement. Popular combinations include dermal fillers to address volume loss, while Botox targets dynamic wrinkles. Chemical peels or laser treatments can improve skin texture and tone, and facial treatments can enhance overall skin health. Many patients integrate Botox into comprehensive treatment plans that may include surgical procedures like facelifts or non-surgical options like radiofrequency treatments. Combining treatments often provides more dramatic, natural-looking results than any single treatment alone. Dr. Khan evaluates your overall aesthetic goals to recommend the optimal combination of treatments that best suit your needs. Botox can typically be performed safely in conjunction with most other procedures, although the timing may need to be adjusted for optimal results and patient comfort.
Botox costs in the Sugar Land and greater Houston area typically range from $10-$15 per unit, with most treatment areas requiring 15-50 units, depending on the size and number of areas treated. Forehead lines generally require 10-20 units, frown lines 15-25 units, and crow's feet 8-15 units per side. Full upper face treatment typically costs $400-600, while single areas range $150-300. Factors affecting cost include the number of areas treated, units required for your specific anatomy, and whether additional treatments are combined. At Empowered Plastic Surgery, we provide personalized unit recommendations tailored to your unique needs. Dr. Khan ensures you receive the optimal amount of Botox for natural-looking results without over-treatment.
Good Botox candidates have dynamic wrinkles that appear with facial expressions and realistic expectations about treatment outcomes. Ideal candidates include patients with forehead lines, frown lines, or crow's feet that worsen with muscle movement, those seeking preventative treatment before wrinkles become permanent, adults 18 years and older in good general health, and individuals wanting subtle, natural-looking enhancement. Botox works best on dynamic wrinkles, which are caused by muscle movement, rather than static wrinkles resulting from sun damage or volume loss. Poor candidates include pregnant or breastfeeding women, patients with certain neuromuscular disorders, those with unrealistic expectations, and individuals with active skin infections at injection sites. Dr. Khan evaluates your medical history, facial anatomy, and aesthetic goals during the consultation to determine if Botox will achieve your desired results safely and effectively.
