Considering Botox for the first time? You’re not alone. This popular treatment has helped millions soften fine lines, refresh their appearance, and feel more confident—all without surgery or downtime.

At Moreano Plastic Surgery, we help you feel comfortable and informed before your first treatment. Whether you’re feeling excited, nervous, or simply curious, this guide will walk you through what to expect at a Botox appointment and how we make the experience smooth, personalized, and stress-free.

A Simple, Non-Surgical Way to Look Refreshed

Botox is a purified protein that temporarily relaxes the facial muscles responsible for expression lines and wrinkles. It’s most commonly used to treat dynamic areas such as the forehead, crow’s feet, and frown lines between the eyebrows.

Botox is popular because it works quickly and effectively with minimal discomfort and virtually no recovery time. Most patients return to work or their daily activities immediately after treatment.

Patients in NY choose Botox for a variety of reasons:

  • It delivers natural-looking results that enhance—not change—your appearance
  • Treatments are quick, typically taking less than 15 minutes
  • It’s a cost-effective alternative to surgical procedures
  • Results can be customized to your goals, from subtle smoothing to more noticeable rejuvenation
  • With regular maintenance, it can even help prevent deeper lines from forming

Botox is a trusted option for those looking to look refreshed, more youthful, and well-rested—without downtime or drastic changes.

Your First Botox Appointment: What to Expect

Trying something new can be intimidating. That’s why we take the time to explain each step of your visit so you know exactly what to expect.

1. Your Botox Consultation

Every treatment starts with a personal consultation with Dr. Moreano. He will:

  • Learn about your goals and concerns
  • Examine your facial features and expressions
  • Recommend a treatment plan tailored just for you

We encourage you to ask questions—our priority is to ensure you feel comfortable and confident.

2. The Treatment Process

Once you’re ready, the treatment itself is quick and precise:

  • A fine needle is used to inject Botox into targeted facial muscles
  • Most patients describe it as a small pinch
  • The session typically lasts just 10 to 15 minutes

No numbing is needed, and you can return to your day right after your appointment.

3. Aftercare and What Happens Next

After your injections, we’ll share easy-to-follow instructions to help you get the best results:

  • Avoid rubbing the area or lying down for a few hours
  • Skip strenuous exercise the same day
  • Mild redness or swelling is normal and temporary

You’ll start to notice smoother skin in three to five days, with full results in about seven to 14 days.

Your First-Time Botox Treatment Guide: Extra Tips

If it’s your first time getting Botox, here are a few things to keep in mind:

  • Less is more to start—adjustments can always be made later
  • Be open about your goals so your provider can deliver the best outcome
  • Trust the process—Botox is safe, quick, and highly effective when done correctly

You’re in expert hands with Dr. Moreano, who brings years of experience and a personalized approach to every treatment.
