Google trends show that every 5 seconds people are searching to learn more about Botox and Juvederm. Not only am I sharing the TOP 5 searched questions, but also including fact-filled answers and MY personal experience. Don’t get Botox or Juvederm without reading this first…
What Gets Rid of Wrinkles Quickly?
The TOP question is how to get rid of wrinkles asap. Clearly, we are all busy people and can.not.wait around for miracle lotions to (hopefully) kick-in after a few months. With (professional) Medical Spa treatments, you see (almost) immediate results. Jackpot!
- Botox injections relax your muscle underneath the (ick) wrinkle, so the skin on top lies smooth.
- Facial Fillers (Juvederm) fills deep wrinkles to create an even surface (frown lines, marionette lines…).
- Microneedling creates punctures in the top layer of your skin (tiny needles from the SkinPen do the work) to promote collagen growth – remember my posts HERE and HERE and HERE?)
Does Botox Hurt?
- Procedure Pain? Botox is injected with a needle. During the procedure it is mildly annoying, but not painful. However, some parts of your face are more sensitive than others – and pain tolerances vary. Personally, I had no problem with pain.
- Prolonged Pain? Very teeny, tiny/minor headache for about 1 hour afterward.
How Long Does Botox Take & How Long Does it Last?
- Non-surgical procedure – takes about 20 minutes from start to finish
- No downtime. Literally get it on your lunch break.
- Results? Noticeable in about 5-10 days, last up to 3 months.
- Less is more – Trained professionals know the correct dosage to look naturally youthful – NO phony bologna. Only get Botox from trained professionals who are board certified nurse practitioners.
What Brand is the Best for Removing Wrinkles?
Juvéderm Vollure XC is the creme de la creme for facial fillers – here’s why:
- THE facial filler that is MOST trusted for most effective results (make sure you are getting THIS one at your MedSpa)
- ONLY FDA-approved filler (hello – you want FDA approved being injected into your face – yes?)
- 1st and only hyaluronic acid dermal filler approved by FDA
- Results lasting up to 18 months
- Longest-lasting (shown in a clinical study)
How is it done?
(FYI… all these photos are without filters/photoshop effects in natural lighting)
Mark the Spot!
Before you receive Botox or Juvederm, the board-certified nurse practitioner does the following:
- Applies a numbing cream to your face to further reduce any pain associated with the procedure.
- Determines where to do the injections and marks the spot(s) with a pen.

Microneedling Maneuvers
A microneedling treatment involves the use of a tool, a SkinPen, to glide over your face and inject microscopic holes into your skin. This promotes natural collagen growth for a more youthful appearance.
Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes… Before and After Photos!
Pretty WOWza, huh? The photos below show the before and after from Botox alone. The photos are 10 days apart.
A smile is the best thing you can wear… but I hope I helped answer the MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED WRINKLE QUESTIONS. Comment or email me privately with any additional questions. I’m happy to girl chat more about Botox, skincare…or pizza.
I had Botox done once and I was so excited about the results. I definitely want to get another treatment one of these days.
It’s really effective and it looks amazing, doesn’t it? Anew MedSpa has always made sure to give me the best experience whenever I get treatments there!
I have never done botox, but it does seem like it could be a good way to help with some anti aging. I will have to look more into it because creeping closer to 30 has me getting more of these smile lines.
Botox is a great choice especially if you don’t like using different beauty products on your skin just to get the same results that takes too much time!
The results are amazing. I’m just terrified to do anything like it. I’m a wimp when it comes to pain really, and I’ll just stick to using creams.
It’s really not terrifying at all especially when you have it done in a place like Anew MedSpa because they’re all professionals and so accommodating!
Very informative post. I’ve never met someone who have tried botox. So good to see this. Thank you!
I get a lot of questions from it and I’d love to share the experience! The place that I went to is really great, Anew MedSpa is very professional and they’re amazing at doing botox!
This is such an informative post. I always talk about wanting to get botox done, but have yet to actually do it. The results are amazing. I think I know what I want in the new year. Thanks for this
Thank you! I’m glad to help out and I hope you find a place like Anew MedSpa! They’re really amazing at this!
You’ve made it plain and clear that the results are instantaneous and very obvious! Can’t believe this is something you can just go and get on your lunch break – we are living in the future for sure!
Yes, that’s so true! It’s really amazing because of Anew MedSpa, they did such a great job and they definitely know how to do it best!
Wow, this is very informative and looks like it really works! What a sweet discount you got for your readers. 🙂
I hope it helped you understand botox more! Thank you, that’s because Anew MedSpa is amazing!
Thanks on the 411 on Botox. I am curious about it although I never considered it. I guess I am still old fashioned that I am okay with aging gracefully…wrinkles and all. Hahaha! But I have to say I am so impressed with the beauty technology industry. Amazing!
You’re very welcome! It’s really amazing what specialists come up with today! I do hope this helped you understand botox more.
I have a friend I want to show this to. She’s been going through a lot and it’s visible, I think she would benefit
I hope she considers it, it’s really an amazing treatment! Especially when you get it in a place like Anew MedSpa!
It looks like you had a very positive experience from your before and after photos. BUT you looked great beforehand. I think it is neat how much it changed your forehead.
Yes, and that’s because I got it from the best place! Anew MedSpa made sure I get the best experience from my botox treatments. The results are visible.
Those results look amazing! I don’t know if I could do it myself. I have some major PTSD from having a complicated surgical birth this year and just going to the doctor makes me hyperventilate now.
Thank you so much. It feels better when you find a place that takes good care of you, like Anew MedSpa. But you definitely shouldn’t force yourself to go through a treatment or procedure that makes you feel uncomfortable.
Wow the before and after photos are amazing. I have gotten Botox one time and really loved the results. Your post is reminding me that I need to do it again!
It’s really amazing and I love the results as well! It’s a great treatment and I definitely recommend it!
Wow the before and after photos are amazing. I have gotten Botox one time and really loved the results. Your post is reminding me that I need to do it again!
The results are undeniable and you’ve definitely answered all my questions – even a few I didn’t think to ask. Thanks so much for such great information.
That’s really good to know! I’m glad to share my experience and help people understand botox more.
I love that you answered these questions because botox really makes me curious. I think there are so many misconceptions about it as well. As far as the results are concerned, it’s the perfect solution!
I’m glad to have answered them for you. That’s so true! The results are definitely amazing thanks to Anew MedSpa!
You can’t argue with your results you have gotten rid of so many wrinkles. I have had those neuromusclar paralysis treatments and I am hooked too. Fillers are also very good and last longer.
That’s so true. It’s really the best when it comes to getting rid of those wrinkles. Oh, I’ve never heard of that one before!
I have always thought about getting this done and wondered about all of this! thanks for answering my questions!
You’re very much welcome and I hope I answered all the questions that you have!
You got some beautiful results. I might consider doing this for one of my special events in the future.
Thank you so much! It’s really a lovely treatment and it’s a quicker way to get rid of the wrinkles!
Your results are amazing. Of course, you looked fabulous before. I’ve never been curious about botox or fillers, but it’s great to know that if the time comes I will be more informed as to what technique is right for me.
They are, indeed! Thank you so much! I love sharing my experience with my readers so they have all the information that they need. The place that I got it from is great, Anew MedSpa definitely knows what they’re doing and how to make it safe for you.
It is incredible how much of a difference microneedling/facial fillers and botox can make. What I like about you is that you don’t go overboard so you always look so natural and pretty x
Yes, so true! Aww, that’s really sweet! Thank you, Ana!
Wow the proof is in the pictures! Does it hurt?? I am not sure if I could do it!
YES! You can see how great the results are! Nope, it doesn’t hurt at all. It’s definitely something that everyone can do.
The results look great. Good to know that the results last so long. It would be hard to justify the expense otherwise.
Thank you! Yes, it definitely does, so you don’t have to keep going back to get more botox.
The results are awesome indeed! I have a not so old friend with wrinkles on her face. I am sure that she this will help her with her problem.
Yes! Thank you! Botox is a quick fix for wrinkles that’s why I love it! Very effective!
I have never tried any of this before, especially since I have always hated, hated needles. However, I must say that I may have to try at least one of these treatments someday after reading this post.
It’s really awesome and it’s worth it when you get in a place like Anew MedSpa! They’re professionals and know how to take good care of you as you get your treatment.
Wow, you can absolutely see the difference. This is a great visual for anyone considering botox!
Yes, that’s so true! I really love the results! Thanks for the visit!
