Botox & Neurotoxin Injections in Lubbock, TX

All four are FDA-approved botulinum toxin type A injections that relax targeted muscles to soften dynamic wrinkles. The differences come down to onset, duration, formulation, and spread.

• Botox — the original. Most-studied, most-used. Onset 4 to 7 days, duration 3 to 5 months.
• Dysport — faster onset (2 to 3 days), broader spread. Good for forehead lines and larger surface areas.
• Daxxify — the longest-lasting. Average duration 6 months, sometimes longer.
• Xeomin — filtered of accessory proteins. The right choice for clients who have built resistance to other brands.

We carry all four at The Spa by Sheena. Your injector recommends the right one based on your face, history, and goals — not what is in stock.

Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin typically last 3 to 5 months per session. Daxxify averages 6 months and can extend further. The exact duration for your face depends on metabolism, dose, muscle strength, and how consistently you treat — clients who have been on a regular schedule for years often see results stretch longer.

Most clients at The Spa by Sheena book maintenance every 3 to 4 months for Botox and Dysport, every 5 to 6 months for Daxxify. The right cadence is the one where you book again at the first sign of movement returning — not after the lines are fully back.

Standard Botox dosing by area:

• Forehead lines — 12 to 24 units
• The 11s (glabellar) — 20 to 30 units
• Crow's feet — 12 to 24 units per side
• Bunny lines — 4 to 6 units
• Lip flip — 4 to 6 units
• Masseter slimming or TMJ — 20 to 50 units per side

Stronger muscles need more units, and dosing varies by brand. Your injector calculates exact units at your appointment. We do not sell minimum packages — you pay for the units you actually receive.

Per-unit Botox pricing at The Spa by Sheena:

• Botox — $14 / unit
• Xeomin — $14 / unit
• Daxxify — $7 / unit
• Dysport — $5 / unit

Dysport units are smaller than Botox units, so you need more of them for the same effect — total Dysport visit cost is comparable to Botox. Daxxify uses similar unit counts to Botox at a lower per-unit price. on per-unit pricing every session. We do not bundle minimum packages.

Initial softening shows at 4 to 7 days for Botox and Xeomin, 2 to 3 days for Dysport, and as early as 1 to 2 days for Daxxify. Full result lands at 14 days for every brand — the medication needs time to bind to the muscle receptors before reaching peak effect.

Do not judge your result before the 2-week mark. If anything still reads uneven at day 14, book a touch-up assessment — that is exactly what the window is for.

Botox is a quick pinch at each injection site delivered with an ultra-fine needle. Most clients describe the sensation as similar to a mosquito bite. The entire appointment takes 15 to 20 minutes from start to finish, with most of that time spent reviewing your goals — actual injection time is just a few minutes.

Topical numbing is available on request, but the majority of clients skip it and walk out the same day with no lingering discomfort.

Common and expected: minor bruising or swelling at injection sites that clears in 24 to 48 hours, occasional mild headache the day of treatment, small temporary bumps that resolve within an hour.

Rare: temporary asymmetry or eyelid droop, almost always due to product migration from rubbing or pressure too soon after treatment. These resolve on their own as the neurotoxin wears off over 6 to 8 weeks.

Serious side effects are extremely rare with proper injection technique. We screen for contraindications at every appointment and review your medical history before dosing.

Stay upright for the first 4 hours after Botox — no lying down, no bending forward, no face-down pressure. After 4 hours you can lie down normally; sleeping on your back the first night is still the safest call.

Also avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area, facials, hot yoga, saunas, and strenuous exercise for the first 24 hours. These restrictions prevent the neurotoxin from migrating to muscles you did not pay to treat.

No. We do not perform Botox or any neurotoxin treatment during pregnancy or breastfeeding. There is not enough safety data for either, and ethical guidelines recommend avoidance. We resume treatments once you have finished breastfeeding — book a consultation when you are ready and we will pick up where you left off.

Only if it is over-injected. Our approach at The Spa by Sheena is to soften, not freeze — you will still raise your brows, smile, and have natural expression. If you want a more relaxed look we can dose more aggressively. If you want subtle movement preserved we will dose lighter. The result tracks the conversation we have at your appointment.

Yes — and it is one of the strongest long-term plays in aesthetics. Preventative Botox in your late 20s and early 30s relaxes the muscles that crease the skin before the wrinkles set in deeply. Most preventative clients use lighter doses (10 to 20 units total) less often than older clients.

The case for starting in your late 20s: every year you delay the dynamic wrinkle from forming is a year you do not need a more aggressive treatment to address it later. The case for waiting: if you do not see dynamic lines at rest in your 20s, you can hold off until you do. We will give you a straight answer at consultation.

Yes — plan ahead. Schedule your Botox 3 to 4 weeks before the event. That gives your result the full 14 days to develop and any minor bruising another full week to resolve.

Do not book Botox for the first time the week of a major event. If you have never had it, your face's response is unknown, and that is the wrong moment to learn. First-timers should treat at least 2 to 3 months before the event so we can adjust dosing at a 2-week touch-up if needed.

Not for cosmetic Botox. Insurance covers Botox only for specific medical indications — chronic migraines, severe muscle spasticity, and hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) with proper documentation. We offer Hyperhidrosis Botox as a separate service for clients who qualify.

We accept HSA and FSA cards for treatments with a medical indication. If you are unsure whether your case qualifies, bring it to consultation and we will help you sort it out.

Botox relaxes muscles to soften dynamic wrinkles — the lines created by movement, like forehead lines, the 11s, and crow's feet. Dermal fillers restore volume to areas that have lost it — cheeks, lips, under the eyes, and the jawline.

They solve different problems and most clients use both. Botox softens and prevents the wrinkles that movement creates. Fillers replace structural volume and contour. If you are not sure which one you need, book a consultation — we will walk through your goals and recommend a plan.

First-time clients: book a complimentary consultation online or call (806) 701-5840 so we can review your goals and walk through which neurotoxin is right for you.

Returning clients: book your treatment directly through our online scheduler or call us. We treat six days a week — Monday through Saturday — at 8713 Milwaukee Ave #200 in South Lubbock.
