Botox at Urban Vanity Lounge
At Urban Vanity Lounge, we offer a wide range of services to help you look and feel your best. One of our most popular treatments is Botox injections. Botox has become increasingly popular over the years as a quick and effective solution for reducing wrinkles and fine lines on the face.
What is Botox?
Botox, also known as Botulinum toxin type A, is a neurotoxic protein that is derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. It works by temporarily paralyzing muscles in order to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines on the face.
How does it work?
When injected into specific muscles, Botox blocks signals from the nerves to the muscles, causing them to relax and prevent muscle contractions. This results in a smoother appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
Conditions that can be treated with Botox
Botox is most commonly used to treat dynamic wrinkles, which are caused by repetitive facial movements such as smiling or frowning. These include:
- Forehead lines
- Crow's feet around the eyes
- Frown lines between the eyebrows
- Bunny lines on the nose
- Lip lines or “smoker’s lines”
Improvements that can be seen on skin after Botox treatment
There are numerous benefits of receiving Botox injections, including:
- Smoother and more youthful-looking skin
- Reduction in fine lines and wrinkles
- Improved self-confidence
- Minimal downtime or recovery period
- Long-lasting results (typically 3-6 months)

FAQs
The actual injections typically only take 10-15 minutes, but we recommend setting aside 30 minutes for the entire appointment.
There may be slight redness or swelling at the injection site, but this typically subsides within a few hours. You can resume your normal activities immediately after treatment.
Results can usually be seen within 3-5 days, with full effects visible after 2 weeks.
Results typically last 3-6 months, so we recommend getting touch-up treatments every 3-4 months to maintain your results. However, the frequency and amount of injections may vary for each individual.
