How Does Botox Work?
Botox works by temporarily blocking signals from nerves to muscles. When injected into specific facial muscles, it prevents them from contracting, which smooths existing wrinkles and prevents new ones from forming.
Your Botox Treatment Process:
What Results Can I Expect from Botox?
Botox provides natural-looking wrinkle reduction that allows you to maintain full facial expressiveness. You’ll look refreshed and rejuvenated—never frozen or overdone when administered correctly.
Most patients schedule follow-up treatments every 3-4 months to maintain their smooth appearance. With consistent treatment, some patients find they need less frequent touch-ups as their muscles become accustomed to relaxation.
Results vary based on individual factors including metabolism, muscle strength, lifestyle habits, and treatment area.

FAQ SECTION
Frequently Asked Questions About Botox in Anchorage, AK
How long does Botox last?
Botox typically lasts 3-4 months, though this varies by individual. Factors affecting duration include metabolism, muscle strength, lifestyle, and treatment area. Many patients schedule maintenance appointments every 3-4 months. With regular treatments, some find their results last longer as muscles become trained to relax.
Does Botox hurt?
Most patients report minimal discomfort—describing it as a small pinch or pressure. We use ultra-fine needles and advanced injection techniques to ensure maximum comfort. Ice or topical numbing can be provided if you’re particularly sensitive, though most patients don’t require it.
What’s the difference between Botox and fillers?
Botox relaxes muscles to prevent wrinkles from forming (treating dynamic wrinkles caused by movement). Dermal fillers add volume to smooth static wrinkles and restore facial contours. Many patients use both for comprehensive anti-aging results. Learn about dermal fillers →]
Will I look frozen or unnatural?
No! When administered by a skilled injector like Natasha Sherrill, Botox provides natural-looking results. You’ll maintain facial expressions while enjoying smoother skin. The “frozen” look comes from over-treatment or improper technique—something we carefully avoid.
When will I see my Botox results?
Most patients notice initial smoothing within 3-5 days. Full results develop over 7-14 days. For optimal assessment of your results, we recommend waiting the full two weeks before evaluating whether you need any touch-ups.
Can I get Botox while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Botox is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. While there’s no definitive evidence of harm, adequate studies haven’t been conducted in pregnant or nursing women. We advise waiting until after you’ve finished breastfeeding to resume treatments.
What should I avoid after Botox?
For 24 hours after treatment, avoid:
- Lying flat for 4 hours after injection
- Rubbing or massaging the treated area
- Strenuous exercise
- Excessive heat (saunas, hot yoga, hot tubs)
- Alcohol consumption
- Facial treatments or massages
You can return to most normal activities immediately. We’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions after your treatment.
How many units of Botox will I need?
This varies based on your muscle strength, treatment goals, and areas being treated. On average:
- Frown lines: 10-25 units
- Forehead: 8-20 units
- Crow’s feet: 12-24 units
During your consultation at New Age Medspa, we’ll assess your needs and provide a personalized recommendation with transparent pricing.
Are there side effects from Botox?
Botox is very safe when administered by a trained professional. Common temporary side effects include:
- Mild bruising or swelling at injection sites
- Temporary redness
- Slight headache
- Minor tenderness
Serious side effects are rare but can include eyelid drooping, asymmetry, or allergic reaction. We use precise techniques to minimize all risks.
How do I prepare for my Botox appointment?
To minimize bruising risk:
- Avoid blood thinners (aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil) for 7 days before treatment if medically safe
- Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before
- Come with a clean face (no makeup)
- Bring a list of current medications
- Stay hydrated
We’ll provide a complete preparation guide when you book your appointment.
