Why So Many First-Time Patients Choose Injections & Co.
Getting Botox is more than just receiving injections. It's about trusting the person holding the syringe.
Every Botox treatment at Injections & Co. is personally performed by Alison Chafin, APRN, a Florida Autonomous Practice Nurse Practitioner with years of experience in aesthetic medicine. Alison takes time to understand your goals, explain facial anatomy, answer your questions, and create a personalized treatment plan based on your unique facial muscles and natural expressions.
If Botox isn't the right treatment for you, she'll tell you. Honest recommendations are part of our philosophy.
REFRESH YOUR APPEARANCE WITHOUT LOOKING OVERDONE
Is Botox Right for Me?
Botox may be a great option if you notice:
Forehead lines
Frown lines between the eyebrows
Crow's feet
Chin dimpling
Bunny lines
Lip flip concerns
Neck bands
Excessive underarm sweating
Many people begin Botox before wrinkles become deeply etched into the skin. Others use it to soften existing lines while maintaining natural facial movement.
The best way to know if Botox is right for you is through an in-person consultation.
Your Biggest Questions. Answered.
-
Is Botox Right for Me?
Most patients describe Botox as feeling like a few quick pinches that last only seconds. The needles are extremely small, and treatment is typically completed in about 10 to 15 minutes.
No anesthesia is required, and most patients return to work, run errands, or continue with their day immediately after their appointment.
For many first-time patients, the anticipation is often much worse than the treatment itself.
-
Will I Look Frozen?
One of the biggest misconceptions about Botox is that it creates a frozen or expressionless appearance.
When properly dosed and placed, Botox softens unwanted lines while allowing you to maintain natural facial movement. The goal is for people to notice that you look refreshed, not that you've had cosmetic treatment.
At Injections & Co., our philosophy is simple:
Enhance. Don't overdo.

TREATMENT DETAILS
What You Should Know.
How Long Does Botox Last?
Most patients enjoy Botox results for approximately 3 to 4 months, although this can vary from person to person.
Several factors influence how long your results last, including your muscle strength, metabolism, treatment area, and individual anatomy. With regular maintenance treatments, many patients are able to maintain smooth, natural-looking results throughout the year.
How Soon Will I See Results?
Most patients begin noticing improvement within 3 to 5 days, with full results typically developing around 10 to 14 days after treatment.
Because Botox works gradually, the changes appear naturally over time rather than all at once. During your consultation, Alison will explain what to expect and when you'll likely see your final results.
What Should I Avoid After Botox?
Following your aftercare instructions helps ensure the best possible results. For the first 24 hours, we generally recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, rubbing or massaging the treated areas, and unnecessary pressure on the injection sites.
You'll also receive personalized aftercare instructions before leaving your appointment, and we're always available if questions arise after your treatment.
Your Botox Journey
From your first conversation through your final results, every step is designed to help you feel informed, comfortable, and confident.
Before Treatment
Personalized Consultation
Alison listens to your concerns, reviews your medical history, evaluates your facial movement, and explains whether Botox is the right treatment for your goals.
About 10 to 15 Minutes
Your Treatment
Your Botox dose and injection placement are customized to your anatomy, muscle strength, and desired level of movement. Most patients describe treatment as a few quick pinches.
Days 3 to 5
Results Begin
You may begin to notice less movement and softer expression lines. Botox works gradually, so your appearance changes naturally rather than all at once.
Days 10 to 14
Full Results
Your final result is typically visible by two weeks. The goal is a smoother, more refreshed appearance while preserving natural facial expression.
Around 3 to 4 Months
Natural Maintenance
Botox gradually wears off as muscle movement returns. Alison can help you plan future appointments based on your results, goals, and preferred maintenance schedule.
“Our goal is not to change your face. It is to help you look like yourself, just more refreshed.”
