Smooth frown lines with natural-looking Botox results
From forehead furrows that show up uninvited to crow’s feet that won’t quit
Botox is one of the simplest, most effective ways to soften signs of movement without changing what makes your face yours. Botox cosmetic treatments use botulinum toxin type A to calm muscle contractions and reduce facial wrinkles like frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines. This FDA-approved medical procedure smooths moderate to severe dynamic lines without surgery, leaving you looking like a refreshed version of yourself. At Metro Medspa, our expert injectors personalize your Botox injections to complement your facial structure and movement. From initial consultation to follow-up, your experience is designed around balance, intentional results, and care that empowers you to look and feel your best.
Botox is an injectable wrinkle relaxer that works by pausing the repetitive facial muscle contractions that cause dynamic wrinkles to form. Dynamic wrinkles form over the years due to the repeated movement of certain facial muscles. For example, frowning too often can result in the formation of frown lines. Static wrinkles, on the other hand, occur due to the loss of skin elasticity, for example, lines around the cheeks and neck. Botox targets dynamic wrinkles, while dermal fillers /injectables-fillers/ are better suited to treating static wrinkles.
Botox is formulated with a purified form of the neurotoxin derived from Clostridium botulinum that temporarily blocks nerve signals in the treatment area. This keeps the muscle in a relaxed state so the overlying skin can smooth out. The effects of Botox injections last for 3-4 months between treatments, making them a low-maintenance way to reduce the appearance of existing facial wrinkles and slow the formation of new ones.
Botox is a simple procedure with no downtime At Metro Medspa, we offer free consultations to determine if you’re a good candidate for Botox. If you are, we create a customized treatment plan to address your concerns and achieve your cosmetic goals.
Botox is administered through very fine, specially designed needles. Most people find the procedure quick and comfortable. Still not sure about the needles? If desired, we can apply a topical numbing cream, so you don’t feel a thing! Once the procedure is complete, you’re free to go home, drive, and continue day-to-day activities. You can expect your final results to appear within 4-14 days and last up to 4 months!
Botox is best suited to treat dynamic wrinkles such as:
During your consultation, your provider will learn about your goals and assess potential treatment areas to determine if Botox is the right choice for you.
If you're 18 or older, in good overall health, and bothered by dynamic lines, you’re likely a great fit for Botox. Botox is ideal for softening the look of frown lines, crow's feet, or forehead furrows. It is also an excellent wrinkle-prevention technique for younger patients, helping slow the formation of new lines caused by facial expressions.
People who are pregnant, breastfeeding, have neuromuscular illnesses (like myasthenia gravis), allergies to ingredients, or skin infections at the injection sites will need to discuss alternative options. Your provider will guide you toward the safest and most effective treatment options tailored to your needs.
Botox is a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment with lasting, confidence-boosting results. It effectively smooths dynamic wrinkles and prevents deeper lines from forming while still allowing natural expression. Treatments are fast, non-surgical, and highly customizable, offering a simple way to refresh your look while maintaining the natural beauty and character of your features.
You’ll begin to notice smoother skin within 4–7 days and enjoy full results by days 10–14. The effects of Botox Cosmetic typically last 3–4 months, after which most clients opt for maintenance sessions to maintain their skin's soft and smooth appearance. With consistent use, many people experience longer-lasting results as the muscles “learn” to relax over time.
At Metro Medspa, our goal is simple—normalize aesthetic treatments. We created Metro Medspa from the perspective of an everyday woman. We know it’s not easy to sit in a sterile, medical-ish treatment room holding a mirror, pointing out what bothers you about your face or body. So, we flipped the script with a modern beauty bar that focuses on beauty as an empowering feeling, not a source of insecurity. If you’re in St. Louis and ready to feel empowered, call us at (314) 842-5600 or click here to book an appointment! Your commitment to confidence is just a click away!
One of the biggest benefits of Botox is that it comes with essentially no recovery time. You may experience slight redness, tenderness, or a pinpoint bruise at the injection site, which typically fades quickly. To optimize results, avoid lying down for at least four hours, rubbing the treated area, or engaging in strenuous exercise for approximately 24 hours. Otherwise, you can get back to your day right away. Your Metro provider will give you simple aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing and results.
