Before & After
What to Expect
The Botox Process
1
Consultation
When you come to Blossom Medical for Botox in Winchester, your trained injection specialist will first provide a free consultation to ensure you are an ideal injection candidate and discuss your goals to recommend which injectable will best meet your needs. When complete, you will know how much product we will inject and precisely what it will cost.
2
Your Botox Injections
We then study your facial expressions and create light marks to indicate where we will make the injections. Most patients report no or minimal discomfort; however, we can provide a topical anesthetic as needed. After the quick injection process, we will assess the treated area to ensure the proper placement of the Botox.
3
Next Steps
We’ll answer any questions about the treatment, give you instructions on the best ways to maintain results, and assist you in scheduling any follow-up appointments you need. When you leave our Winchester office, you can return to daily activities; however, we ask that you stay out of the sun without protection and keep your head upright for 4 hours.
Pre-Treatment
Pre-Care Instructions
Prior to Your Botox Injections in Winchester, Blossom Medical Recommends:
10 Days Before
Avoid aspirin (e.g. Bayer, Excedrin) and other blood-thinning medications (e.g. Vitamin E, Fish Oil) for at least 10 days before injections
3 Days Before
Avoid ibuprofen (e.g. Advil, Motrin) for 3 days before injections. Note: if you’re concerned about pain or bruising, you can take Tylenol before your appointment.
Zinc Supplements
Consider a zinc supplement in the weeks leading up to your Botox injections. Studies have shown that higher levels of zinc in the body are related to higher efficacy of Botox and other injectables.
Retinoid Products
Discontinue the use of retinoid (Vitamin A) products for at least 2 days before and 2 days after treatment.
Avoid Alcohol
Avoid alcohol for 2 days prior to injections, as this too can thin the blood and cause bruising during treatment.
Drink Water
Make sure your skin is properly hydrated by drinking adequate amounts of water and using moisturizer morning and night.
Post Treatment
Post-Care Instructions
Following Your Treatment For Botox in Winchester, Blossom Medical Recommends:
No Touching/Massaging
No touching or massaging the injection site to avoid moving the material to a spot it wasn’t intended to be.
Stay Upright
Keep your head upright for at least 4 hours to help reduce swelling and speed up the recovery process.
Sunlight/Sunscreen
Avoid direct sunlight and use sunscreen when outside, as UV rays can disperse the injectable in your skin and shorten Botox’s effect.
Avoid For 1 Week
Avoid scrubs, toners, and abrasive cleansers for at least a week to ensure you do not disrupt the precisely-applied Botox.
Sleeping
Sleep with your face up and slightly elevated if you are experiencing swelling.
Physical Activity
Avoid strenuous activity or aerobics for 24 hours after your injections.
Frequently Asked Questions
- When will I see results?

After receiving your injections for Botox in Winchester, you may begin to notice results within 24 to 48 hours. It will take up to 14 days to see the full results.
- How long do the results last?
-
The results of Botox generally last up to 4 months, depending on the patient’s skin type and the depth & severity of their lines.
- How much time does it take to receive a Botox injection?
-
The Botox injection process is quick. Once your consultation has been completed and we’ve devised a “game plan” for how to treat your wrinkles, the injection process only takes about 10 minutes.
- Will my face look overdone or unnatural?
-
The highly trained medical experts at Blossom Medical have years of experience performing thousands of Botox injections. Rest assured, we will deliver subtle and natural results. No one should be able to tell you’ve had any “work” done.
- How many Botox injections should I get?
-
The number of injections will depend on the severity and number of lines you have. Generally, for crow’s feet, we suggest 3 injections into the muscle areas that frame the side of each eye. For frown lines, you may receive up to 5 injections. For forehead lines specifically, you may receive up to 5 injections into the muscle.

Absolutely! Botox for men is standard at our practice. Crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines are not exclusively an area of concern for women. Men get these wrinkles over time and may wish to look younger and more refreshed.
