Botox remains one of the most popular aesthetic treatments in the world—but with popularity comes a flood of questions. At MPWR Aesthetics, we believe in empowering our clients with accurate, honest information, so you can make informed decisions about your treatment.

We’ve rounded up the top 5 most Googled questions about Botox and answered them with insight from our aesthetic experts.

1. What is Botox and how does it work?

Botox is a purified form of botulinum toxin type A that temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for expression lines, such as frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead wrinkles. When injected in small, controlled doses, it blocks nerve signals to the muscle, softening the appearance of wrinkles caused by movement.

Botox is not a filler. It doesn't add volume—it smooths by reducing muscle activity. Think of it as a pause button for wrinkles caused by repetitive motion.

2. Does Botox hurt?

Botox injections are quick and minimally uncomfortable. Most patients describe the sensation as a small pinch or tiny bug bite. The entire treatment typically takes less than 15 minutes.

At MPWR Aesthetics, we use ultra-fine needles and gentle techniques to make the experience as comfortable as possible. We can also apply a topical numbing cream if you’re sensitive or nervous about discomfort.

3. When will I see results—and how long do they last?

You’ll begin to see results within 3 to 5 days, with full effects visible by 10 to 14 days. Botox typically lasts about 3 to 4 months, though this can vary slightly depending on your metabolism, lifestyle, and the area treated.

We recommend scheduling regular maintenance treatments to keep your results smooth and consistent. Many of our clients come in 3 to 4 times per year.

4. Will I look frozen or unnatural?

This is one of the biggest myths about Botox. When administered by a skilled injector, Botox looks natural and refined—not frozen. You’ll still be able to show expression and emotion, just with fewer deep lines.

At MPWR Aesthetics, our approach is conservative and artistic. We believe in enhancing—not changing—your appearance. Our goal is for your results to be noticeable in a good way, never obvious.

5. What areas can Botox treat besides the forehead?

While Botox is well-known for smoothing forehead lines, it’s also effective for treating:

Crow’s feet (around the eyes)
Frown lines (between the brows)
Bunny lines (on the nose)
Lip lines (smoker’s lines)
Jawline slimming or treating TMJ
Chin dimpling
Neck bands (platysmal bands)
Excessive sweating (underarms, hands, or feet)

Botox is a versatile tool in aesthetics, and we tailor each treatment plan to your unique needs and goals.
