Smooth lines, keep your expression. Botox done thoughtfully
Botox is one of the most studied and trusted injectables in aesthetic medicine. When placed precisely, it relaxes specific muscles to soften lines without freezing your face or flattening your expressions. The difference between Botox that looks natural and Botox that looks "done" comes down to the injector's eye, technique, placement, and dosing — not the product itself.
At Belle Lumiere Aesthetic, every Botox treatment starts with a full conversation about what you actually want. Some patients want to soften the "11s" between their brows. Others want to prevent lines from settling in. Some may just want a subtle brow lift or lip flip. The plan is built around your face, your goals, and how much movement you want to keep.
Pricing: $13 per unit. Most patients use 40 units depending on areas treated. Cherry financing available.
Areas Andrea Treats
Forehead Lines — Softens the horizontal lines that appear when you raise your eyebrows, creating a smoother, more refreshed appearance while preserving natural expression.
Glabellar Lines ("11s") — Relaxes the muscles between the eyebrows that can create a tense, tired, or worried expression, resulting in a softer, more approachable look.
Crow's Feet — Smooths the fine lines around the outer corners of the eyes while maintaining a natural, expressive smile.
Brow Lift — Uses strategic placement to create a subtle lift through the brows, helping the eyes appear more open, rested, and refreshed.
Lip Flip — A small amount of Botox gently relaxes the upper lip, allowing it to roll outward slightly for a fuller-looking, naturally enhanced smile.
Bunny Lines — Softens the fine wrinkles that form across the bridge of the nose when you smile or laugh.
DAO (Depressor Anguli Oris) — Relaxes the muscles that pull the corners of the mouth downward, creating a softer, more neutral expression and reducing the appearance of a "sad" mouth.
Mentalis (Chin) — Smooths chin dimpling ("orange peel" texture) and softens the horizontal crease that can develop across the chin.
Masseters — Relaxes the jaw muscles to create a slimmer facial contour while also helping relieve jaw clenching, teeth grinding, and TMJ-related discomfort.
Platysmal Bands / Jawline — Relaxes the neck muscles that contribute to downward pull on the lower face, helping create a smoother neck, a more defined jawline, and a subtly lifted appearance.
Why Patients Choose Belle Lumiere for Botox
Personalized dosing. You can come in for just a lip flip, or DAOs, and you only pay for units used
Natural-results philosophy. The goal is for people to notice you look rested, not to notice you've had work done.
Single-injector continuity. You see Andrea every time. She knows your face, your history, and how you respond to product.
Honest consultation. If Botox isn't the right answer for what's bothering you, she'll tell you.
What to Expect
The treatment itself takes 10–15 minutes. Most patients describe the injections as a quick pinch — there's no numbing required for most areas. You can return to work or normal activities after your appointment. Avoid lying flat, rubbing the treated area, and applying makeup to the treated area for 4 hours. Avoid vigorous exercise/sweating for first 24 hours post-procedure.
You'll start to see results in 3–5 days, with full results visible at about 14 days. Botox typically lasts 3–4 months, though many patients get longer with consistent treatment over time.
Botox FAQs
Will I look frozen? No. The whole point of Andrea's approach is preserving natural expression. We start conservative and add if needed. A two week “touch up” appointment is common and is recommended to be done in office, but I’m alway happy to asses how your toxin is settling virtually, and we can make the in-person appointment as needed
How long does Botox last? Most patients get 3–4 months from a treatment. With consistent maintenance, the muscles stay weaker and many patients find results lasting longer over time.
What's the difference between Botox and filler? Botox relaxes muscles to soften lines caused by movement. Filler adds volume to specific areas (lips, cheeks, chin) to restore or enhance structure. Many patients use both for different concerns.
