Here is a simple way to answer that question: look in the mirror and make your natural facial expressions (frowning, laughing, furrowing your brow), and take note of the wrinkles that appear. Then, relax your face. If the wrinkles are still there, you most likely need filler. If the wrinkles disappear, then you most likely need Botox in Westlake. It’s always best to meet with one of our providers for a personalized consultation before determining your unique treatment needs.

How It Works
Wrinkle relaxers work by using a neurotoxin called Botulinum A. When used in small, refined doses, it can prevent your facial muscles from making the movements that cause wrinkles. Now, don’t worry—you will still be able to make natural facial expressions. However, relaxing the smaller muscles that are responsible for your wrinkles, like 11s and crowfeet, will prevent those unwanted lines from appearing.

The Wrinkle Relaxer Process
Step 1: Consultation
Everyone who visits The Well Westlake receives a personal consultation. You’ll meet directly with one of our providers to talk openly about your aesthetic concerns. We’ll review your medical history and your goals to create a personalized treatment plan that will help you look and feel more beautiful.
Step 2: Treatment
Your appointment will begin with your provider cleansing your skin and marking the spots for your injections. Our injectors are expertly trained on how to inject your wrinkle relaxers to deliver natural-looking results—so you’ll never look “frozen.” After about 30 minutes, your injections will be finished, and you can schedule your follow-up appointment.
Step 3: Recovery
Botox in Westlake requires no downtime or recovery time. So, once your appointment is finished, you can return to most of your daily activities as normal. On top of our recommended aftercare instructions, your provider may give you extra instructions based on your unique needs and goals. It’s important to listen to your provider so you can achieve the best results.
Pre-Care & Post-Care Instructions
- Drink plenty of water (and minimize alcohol intake) for 2 days before your appointment to keep your body hydrated.
- Wear a minimum of SPF 30 sunscreen when going outside the week before your appointment.
- Arrive at your wrinkle relaxer appointment with clean skin.
- Continue wearing sunscreen to protect your skin from UV damage.
- Refrain from drinking alcohol or using tobacco products for 2 days after your appointment.
- Do not touch or massage your injection spots. This could move the relaxer from its designated place.

Frequently Asked Questions
No, Botox is not painful. The only discomfort you may experience is when it is injected into your skin, but almost all of our patients are completely comfortable during their injections. For enhanced comfort or if requested by the patient, we can use a topical numbing agent or ice packs.
The amount of injections you need will depend on your unique aesthetic concerns. During your consultation, your provider at The Well Westlake will be able to tell you the amount you’ll need for Botox in Westlake.
