How Botox Works—And What It Doesn’t Do

Considering Botox in Fenton? Here’s What You Need to Know

Botox might be one of the most popular aesthetic treatments in the world—but it’s also one of the most misunderstood.

At Cosmetic Skin & Laser Center in Fenton (previously REJUV AVE.), we use Botox with a clear, strategic purpose: to soften dynamic wrinkles. These are the expression lines that form when you frown, raise your eyebrows, or squint—like the “11” lines between your brows, forehead creases, and crow’s feet around the eyes.

Botox works by gently relaxing the muscles responsible for these movements. When applied with precision, the result is a more rested, approachable appearance—not a frozen or overdone look.

What Botox Can’t Do

It’s important to understand that Botox isn’t a one-size-fits-all wrinkle eraser. It won’t eliminate static wrinkles—those deeper lines and folds that stay visible even when your face is at rest. These etched-in lines typically form over time due to aging, sun exposure, and collagen loss.

That’s why Botox works best as part of a customized treatment plan. At CSLC Fenton, we often pair Botox with other treatments that target volume loss, skin quality, or collagen production, such as:

• Dermal fillers for deeper folds or facial contouring
• PRF to boost natural collagen and improve skin texture
• Microneedling or laser skin resurfacing to smooth surface damage and brighten tone

Combining treatments allows us to address not just movement lines, but also the underlying causes of aging for results that look naturally refreshed—not obviously treated.

How Botox Works (And When It Starts to Work)

Botox is a purified neurotoxin that blocks nerve signals to the muscles, temporarily reducing movement. It’s FDA-approved, safe when administered by experienced professionals, and effective for softening wrinkles caused by repeated facial expressions.

Here’s what you can expect after your visit:

• You’ll start to notice results in 3–5 days
• Full results typically appear in 10–14 days
• Results last an average of 3–4 months

Consistent treatments (usually 3–4 times a year) can help prevent deeper lines from forming over time.

First-Time Botox in Fenton? Here’s What to Expect

Every Botox appointment at CSLC Fenton starts with a one-on-one consultation. We never rush the process or push unnecessary treatments. Instead, we’ll walk you through your goals, assess your facial movements, and create a treatment plan designed for subtle, natural-looking improvement.

Our clinic is conveniently located in downtown Fenton at 116 Mill St, just off Shiawassee Avenue—minutes from Fenton High School, Silver Parkway, and the Millpond Park area. Whether you’re coming from Linden, Grand Blanc, Clarkston, or downtown, expert aesthetic care is close to home.

What Our Fenton Clients Ask Most

“Will I look frozen?”
Not at CSLC. Our approach is conservative and custom-tailored. You’ll still look like yourself—just a little more refreshed and well-rested.

“Is Botox painful?”
Most clients describe it as a series of tiny pinches. Treatments take about 10–15 minutes and require no downtime.

“What’s the difference between Botox and filler?”
Botox relaxes movement-based wrinkles. Filler restores volume in areas like the cheeks, lips, or smile lines. Many clients benefit from both, depending on their goals.

“Am I too young—or too old—for Botox?”
There’s no one perfect age to start. Many of our clients in Fenton begin Botox in their late 20s to early 30s as a preventative step.

Others start in their 40s, 50s, or beyond to soften existing lines.
