Botox Injections in Wellington
WRINKLE REDUCTION WITH BOTOX
Although genetics influence our appearance, advances in aesthetic medicine and injectable treatments offer effective ways to minimize and slow visible aging. Botox, a trusted neuromodulator, works by reducing dynamic wrinkles and fine lines. It temporarily prevents specific muscle contractions, giving your skin a smoother, refreshed, and more youthful look.

What is Botox?
Is Botox Right For Me?
Botox treatments are ideal for anyone looking to smooth facial wrinkles and fine lines without surgery. They are also popular as a preventative Botox solution, even for individuals who have not yet developed visible wrinkles.
This non-surgical option is perfect for treating:
- Forehead lines
- Frown lines between the brows
- Crow’s feet around the eyes
For more advanced wrinkles, a combination of Botox and dermal fillers may provide optimal results.
Benefits of Botox
Botox has quickly become one of the most in-demand non-surgical cosmetic treatments, as noted in the 2018 Plastic Surgery Statistics Report. While its primary purpose is to diminish fine lines and wrinkles, Botox is also FDA-approved for addressing other conditions, including chronic migraines and excessive sweating.
Botox Procedure
At Biomedex and Wellness, your Botox session typically lasts 30–60 minutes and is performed in a comfortable outpatient setting. Anesthesia is not required, although a topical numbing cream can be applied for extra comfort.
Botox Recovery
After your injection at Biomedex and Wellness, you can return to your usual routine, but it’s best to avoid strenuous activities, such as exercise, for at least a day. You’ll be advised to sleep with your head elevated for the first night and to refrain from touching your face, as this could inadvertently spread the Botox to unintended areas. The treated areas may show some redness, swelling, or bruising for a few days; however, serious or long-lasting side effects are rare. Typically, it takes about 5 to 7 days for the full effects of Botox to become visible.
What To Expect Following Botox Injections?
The effects of Botox typically last around 3 to 4 months, depending on how your facial muscles respond to the treatment. Maintaining consistency is key for any skincare routine, and you’ll notice a visible reduction in frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead wrinkles.
Although people won’t be able to tell you’ve had a cosmetic procedure, many patients report feeling more approachable after their Botox sessions, as their expressions no longer appear tense or angry. For optimal results, consult with our team at Biomedex and Wellness about scheduling your follow-up appointment.
FAQ
The cost of Botox treatments varies based on the number of units required per session. At Biomedex and Wellness, we offer flexible payment options, including financing. We accept cash, checks, and all major credit cards, such as Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover.
Every cosmetic procedure carries some level of risk. While complications with Botox are uncommon, potential risks include discomfort or swelling at the injection site, headaches, and temporary asymmetry in the eyebrows or mouth area.
Insurance coverage for Botox treatments depends on the reason they are prescribed. If Botox is used for medical purposes such as chronic migraine, cervical dystonia, hyperhidrosis, muscle spasms, or overactive bladder, the insurance company may cover the costs provided there is a doctor’s referral and prior authorization. However, if the treatment is for cosmetic purposes such as reducing wrinkles or enhancing appearance, it is usually not covered, since these procedures are considered elective and not medically necessary. To be certain whether your plan includes Botox, you should carefully review your policy terms and confirm directly with your insurance provider.
