At Pacific Sound Plastic Surgery in Bellevue, Washington, Dr. Kristopher M. Day expertly administers Botox, a renowned cosmetic treatment designed to diminish facial wrinkles and fine lines by temporarily paralyzing targeted muscles. This minimally invasive procedure involves small injections that block nerve signals to smooth areas like the forehead, around the eyes, and between the eyebrows. With its swift application and lasting results, Botox offers our Seattle-area patients a reliable and non-surgical solution for maintaining a youthful and refreshed appearance.
Botox has been FDA-approved for anti-aging since 2002. It’s formulated to reduce the look of dynamic wrinkles which appear due to repeated facial expressions, like frowning and smiling. When injected, the Botox formula stops muscles from contracting, causing existing wrinkles to dissipate and stopping future ones from forming. Botox is ideal if you’d like to treat crow’s feet, forehead wrinkles, and upper lip lines without surgery. You can slightly narrow the lower face with Masseter Botox. Botox can also help to address other bodily concerns, such as muscle spasms or excessive sweating.
Recovering from a Botox treatment is typically straightforward and involves very little downtime, allowing most patients to resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure. While there is no extensive recovery process, it is advised to avoid strenuous activities, excessive heat, and lying down for a few hours following the injections to prevent the Botox from spreading to other areas. Some patients might experience mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites, but these minor effects usually resolve within a few days. Dr. Kristopher M. Day and his team at Pacific Sound Plastic Surgery will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure you achieve the best possible results, including tips on maintaining facial expressions and avoiding touching the treated areas to optimize the outcome of your Botox treatment.

Patients of all ages have come to us for Botox treatment. However, we suggest you begin Botox when you start to see dynamic lines or lines that are apparent every time you make a facial expression.
Botox results can last for up to 4 months. Keep in mind that if you discontinue treatment, your wrinkles will gradually look like they did before you received it. The severity of your wrinkles as well as the strength of your facial muscles and how many treatments you’ve received will play a role in the longevity of your results.
To maximize patient comfort, your plastic surgeon Dr. Kris Day uses an invisible needle, which is the smallest needle in the world. This allows for nearly painless Botox.
Botox is made of a diluted form of botulinum toxin that is a product of the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. This toxin is highly purified and FDA-approved for medical use.
Botox is a quick treatment as it typically takes 30 minutes or less to complete.
Yes! Botox won’t affect your ability to express yourself. As long as the injections are performed by a professional, you’ll be able to move your face without any issues.
Botox stops dynamic wrinkles, which arise as a result of facial movements. Dermal fillers, on the other hand, can restore lost volume that can lead to an aged, deflated face. Your Bellevue plastic surgeon Dr. Kris Day will help you determine whether you may benefit from one or both treatments.
