BOTOX® Cosmetic is a prescription injectable used to temporarily soften the look of certain facial lines. Treatment is performed in-office and typically takes only a short appointment, making it a practical option for patients who want a refreshed appearance without surgery.
At Thibodaux Regional Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery Clinic BOTOX® Cosmetic is performed by Dr. Jacob Veith, a plastic surgeon, with a treatment plan shaped by your goals, facial movement, and natural proportions. You’ll receive clear guidance on what BOTOX® Cosmetic can address, how results typically develop, and how to maintain your outcome over time if you’d like ongoing care.

BOTOX® Cosmetic is FDA-approved for specific areas in adults. During your consultation, we’ll confirm whether your goals align with those indications and whether BOTOX® Cosmetic is the right option for you.
BOTOX® Cosmetic may be used to temporarily improve the look of:
If you’re also considering dermal fillers or skin treatments, we can explain the differences and how treatments may be sequenced. BOTOX® Cosmetic works in a different way than filler, and choosing the right option depends on the area and the type of concern.
BOTOX® Cosmetic is injected in small amounts into targeted muscles. The goal is to reduce the muscle activity that contributes to visible lines in treated areas, while maintaining a natural look and comfortable facial movement.
Most appointments are straightforward. Injections are done with a very fine needle, and patients often describe the sensation as quick pinches or pressure. Treatment is typically completed in a short visit, and most people return to normal activities soon afterward.
Results with BOTOX® Cosmetic develop gradually. Many patients begin to notice changes within several days, with the full effect becoming more apparent over about two weeks.
The effects are temporary and typically last for a few months. Timing can vary based on the area treated, the dose used, and individual factors. If you like your results, we can help you plan follow-up visits in a way that feels consistent and predictable.
If you’re scheduling around an event, travel, or photos, we’ll help you choose timing that allows results to settle naturally.
BOTOX® Cosmetic may be a quick appointment, but it still requires medical judgment and careful technique. The medication is a purified neurotoxin, so safety depends on using appropriate dosages, placing injections accurately, and following established medical protocols for handling and aftercare.

How should I prepare for my appointment?
Arrive with a list of your current medications and supplements, and let
us know if you’ve had any recent cosmetic treatments. If you tend
to bruise easily, you may want to schedule your visit with a little extra
time before an event.
Can I combine BOTOX® Cosmetic with other treatments?
Often, yes. Some patients pair BOTOX® Cosmetic with dermal fillers
or skin treatments like microneedling, depending on what they want to
address. If you’re interested in more than one treatment, we’ll
help you space them appropriately.
What happens if I miss my usual maintenance schedule?
The effects simply wear off gradually over time, and muscle activity returns
to its baseline. You can restart treatment whenever you’re ready.
Can I schedule BOTOX® Cosmetic close to a big event?
You can, but it’s best to plan ahead. Scheduling in advance gives
time for results to settle and reduces the chance that temporary swelling
or bruising interferes with your plans.
Is BOTOX® Cosmetic safe for everyone?
No. Certain medical conditions, allergies, or life stages may make treatment
inappropriate. Your consultation includes a full medical review so we
can make a safe recommendation.
