Botox is one of the most popular cosmetic treatments in the world, and not just for celebrities or influencers. Regular people. New moms. Teachers. Business owners. People who just want to feel a little more confident in the skin they’re in.
It’s not about changing your face. It’s about helping it look a little more like how you feel on the inside.
At Silkey Skin MD, we offer Botox, Xeomin, and Dysport injections. All three types of injections are neuromodulators that operate in the same way: They block nerve signals to facial muscles, keeping them from contracting and forming lines and wrinkles between the eyes (“elevens”), on the forehead, around the eyes (“crow’s feet”), and in other areas of the face.
The manufacturing process is slightly different for Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin. But, there are some subtle differences in their usage and results that our providers can explain during your consultation. There is no difference in cost between Botox, Xeomin, or Dysport in our office.
Botox injections are the most popular cosmetic treatment in the world – with more than six million Botox procedures administered every year! At one time, Botox was a celebrity secret. But today, actors, influencers, and everyday people rely on Botox to help them look younger.
The FDA has approved Botox as an aesthetic treatment for moderate to severe frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet in adults. Botox injections can also help prevent new wrinkles from forming as an added benefit! Think of Botox as a gentle “pause” button for your facial muscles. Over time, every smile, squint, frown, and raised eyebrow starts to leave a mark. Botox helps calm the movement in the areas where wrinkles tend to form, which means those lines don’t get deeper—and the ones already there start to soften. Most people see results within 3 to 7 days; the effects last around 3 to 4 months.
Botox injections work by blocking nerve signals that cause muscles in the face to contract. As the muscles relax, the skin becomes smooth, and facial lines and wrinkles are dramatically reduced or eliminated for a younger, more refreshed appearance. Patients typically notice that the lines and wrinkles begin to disappear within a few days, with complete effects taking about 2 weeks to appear. And results last up to 4 months!
When you come in, we’ll chat with you first: no pressure, no assumptions. We’ll examine your natural expressions, discuss your goals, and determine what makes sense for you. If you’re ready, the treatment will take about 10 to 15 minutes.
If you live in the greater Salt Lake City area and are bothered by crow’s feet, forehead wrinkles, or lines between your eyes, schedule a Botox consultation at Silkey Skin MD in Kaysville, UT. We will help you decide if Botox is right for you.
Botox is most commonly used on:

We’ll always tailor your treatment to what’s right for your face. We also offer Botox treatments for excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) and migraines.
Botox isn’t about freezing your face or looking like someone else. It’s about creating a softer, more rested version of you. Most people choose Botox when they’re tired of looking tired, or when makeup starts to crease in places it didn’t used to. It’s a small step with a noticeable payoff.
Here’s what people love most:
For many, Botox is that quiet little boost that helps them feel more confident on Zoom, at dinner, or even just looking in the mirror. Nothing dramatic — just a little more like the version of yourself you feel like on the inside.
Yes. That’s the goal.
A lot of people worry that Botox will make them look frozen or not like themselves anymore. At Silkey Skin MD, we don’t do “overdone.” We focus on soft, natural results that still let you move, smile, and express yourself with fewer creases tagging along.
You’ll still look like you. Just a little less like your tired, end-of-week self and a little more like your “just got back from a long weekend” self.
Botox is one of the lowest-maintenance cosmetic treatments. There is no real “recovery” period, but you should know a few things to keep your results looking great.
After your appointment: You might have a little bit of redness or swelling where the injections were placed—it usually fades within a few hours. Some people feel a little tightness or notice tiny bumps right after, but those go away quickly, too. Most people return to work, errands, or school pickup without missing a beat.
What to avoid in the first 24 hours:
When will I see results?
You’ll likely start to notice things softening up around days 3 to 5, with full results showing around two weeks after treatment. It’s a gradual shift (not an overnight change) so don’t be surprised if you wake up one day and just think, “Huh, my forehead looks a little smoother.” That’s Botox doing its thing.
How long does Botox last?
On average, Botox lasts about 3 to 4 months. Some people get a little more time out of it, some a little less — it depends on your metabolism and how expressive you are. (Spoiler alert: big smilers tend to need touch-ups a little sooner. Worth it, though.)
You can repeat treatments as needed to keep things soft and smooth over time. No pressure, no commitment. Results you can keep up — or not — depending on what feels right for you.
One of the best things about Botox? It’s low-risk and low-commitment. If you’re curious, you can start small. Just try one area. See how you feel. It’s not forever, and it’s not a big leap—it’s just another option in your self-care toolkit.
We’ll never talk you into anything you don’t want. And we’ll always be honest about what will (or won’t) make a difference. Call (801) 882-2200 to book a consultation or stop by Silkey Skin MD in Kaysville. Let’s chat about your goals, your skin, and what helps you feel your best—whatever that looks like for you.
It depends on the area being treated and your facial anatomy. For example, forehead lines require around 10–20 units, while crow’s feet might require 6–12 units per side. During your visit to Silkey Skin MD, we’ll examine your facial movement closely and customize the dose so your results look soft and natural—not overdone.
Yes, Botox is FDA-approved and has been used safely for decades. When it’s done by a trained and experienced provider (like the team here at Silkey Skin MD), the risk of side effects is very low. We’ll always review your health history and answer any questions you have before getting started.
Great question! Botox relaxes the muscles that cause wrinkles, while dermal fillers add volume to areas that have thinned out or lost structure—like the cheeks or lips. Sometimes, people get both to target different concerns. We’ll help you figure out what makes the most sense for your goals.
Absolutely. Most people walk right out the door and go on with their day. There might be a tiny bit of redness or swelling at the injection site, but it usually fades within an hour or two. We recommend skipping workouts, massages, or lying down for the first four hours to let the product settle properly.
You’ll usually start seeing changes within 3 to 7 days, but full results take about two weeks. It’s a gradual softening, not a dramatic overnight change—so don’t worry if things look the same right after your appointment.
Not at all. While it’s most well-known for smoothing lines, Botox can also help with jaw tension (TMJ), excessive sweating, lip flips, brow lifts, and even softening the neck bands. If you’ve got something bothering you, bring it up — we’ll talk through your options.
