What is BOTOX® Cosmetic?
BOTOX® Cosmetic in Virginia Beach is a powerful neurotoxin treatment that has been FDA-approved for 20 years as an injectable that temporarily reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Botox works by temporarily blocking nerve signals to specific muscles, softening the expression lines caused by movement. If you’re looking to reduce the signs of aging or prevent wrinkles from forming, facial Botox is a safe and effective solution.
Facial botox injections are one of the most popular minimally invasive treatments in Virginia Beach for wrinkle reduction and facial rejuvenation. All our providers here at Salt Spa and Wellness Center are experienced, skilled, and constantly continuing their education. They have extensive experience treating hundreds of clients in Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake, and surrounding Hampton Roads area, men and woman alike.

What to Expect at Your BOTOX® Cosmetic Appointment

Common Side Effects of BOTOX® Cosmetic in Virginia Beach
Botulinum-based treatments in Virginia Beach are generally well-tolerated and safe. Some patients may experience minor side effects such as:
- Mild redness or swelling at injection sites
- Temporary bruising
- Light headache or tightness in treated areas
- In rare cases, slight drooping of eyelid or eyebrow (resolves on its own)
These side effects are usually short-lived and do not require downtime.
When Will I See Results from Botox Cosmetic?
Results from Botox Cosmetic can be visible smoothing of lines and wrinkles within 3 to 5 days after treatment. Full Botox results are typically achieved around 10 to 14 days post-injection. Your look can last 3 to 4 months, at which point maintenance Botox treatments are recommended for continued results. Your provider may schedule a follow-up to assess and determine if any touch ups are needed.
Medical Uses of Botox
While Botox is widely known for its ability to reverse aging, it has several uses that go beyond cosmetic reasons.
- Migraine relief
- TMJ symptom management
- Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating)
- Shoulder/ Neck pain
Botox and forehead wrinkles may be the most requested concern, but facial Botox injections in Virginia Beach can deliver benefits to more areas than just the face.
Aftercare and Restrictions
To maximize the results of your cosmetic Botox and minimize the chance of side effects, follow these simple aftercare tips:
- Avoid touching or massaging the treated areas for at least 24 hours
- Stay upright for four hours after treatment
- Skip intense exercise, alcohol, saunas, and sun exposure for 24 hours
- Follow all instructions provided by your injector
Long-Term Care and Maintenance for Botox
For lasting wrinkle prevention and skin smoothing, consistency is key. Most patients return every 3 to 4 months for maintenance treatments. Combining Botox facial treatments with medical-grade skincare, sun protection, and healthy lifestyle choices can help preserve your youthful appearance. For many, skin Botox becomes a regular part of their beauty and self-care routine.
Other procedures to consider adding to your maintenance regime along with Botox include lasers, Sculptra, microneedling and facials. Maintaining these services will allow your skin to stay young and fresh, and cost less money to maintain over time.
Botox for Men
Cosmetic Botox is increasingly popular among men in Virginia Beach who want to look refreshed, confident, and more youthful—without looking “fake.” Known as “Brotox,” Botox for men in Virginia Beach targets areas like forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet while maintaining masculine facial features. At Salt Spa, our approach ensures that Botox for men is subtle yet effective, with natural results that enhance—not alter—your appearance.
Preventative Botox for Younger Clients
More clients in their 20s and early 30s are turning to Botox in Virginia Beach as a preventative strategy. Preventative Botox works by training facial muscles to move less aggressively, helping to prevent deep-set wrinkles from forming in the first place. If you’re concerned about developing lines in the future, starting facial Botox injections early can help preserve your youthful skin and delay visible aging.
In addition, many who have started Botox to late have had to spend extra money on other procedures, due to wrinkles being too deep set to reverse with just Botox alone.
