When administered by a skilled injector using appropriate doses, Botox provides natural-looking results. The "frozen" look comes from overtreatment. Laconia practitioners are trained in current best practices.

There's no perfect age. Many patients start in their late 20s to early 30s for prevention, while others begin later when wrinkles become bothersome.

Initial results appear within 3-5 days, with full effects visible at 10-14 days. Be patient and avoid judging results too early. Consult a Laconia provider for personalized guidance.
