Reberry Clinic Blog: Expert Skin Care Insights

Botox can cause mild, temporary headaches in some patients, typically within the first few hours to 48 hours after treatment. These are usually linked to injection site sensitivity, muscle adjustment, stress, or post-treatment behavior. While uncommon, they're rarely serious. Most resolve on their own with rest, hydration, and over-the-counter pain relief. Following your practitioner's aftercare instructions is the most effective way to minimize discomfort.

Botox typically lasts 3 to 4 months, but results can range from 2 to 6 months. How long it lasts depends on the treatment area, your metabolism, muscle strength, lifestyle habits, and how consistently you keep up with sessions.

The number of Botox units you need depends on the treatment area, muscle strength, and your aesthetic goals. Forehead lines typically require 10 to 30 units, frown lines 20 to 40 units, crow's feet 20 to 30 units, and smaller areas like the lip flip as little as 4 to 6 units. First-time patients should always start conservatively and refine from there. A qualified dermatologist will assess your facial anatomy and design a personalized dosing plan to ensure natural-looking, long-lasting results.
