Smooth forehead lines, crow’s feet and frown lines in about 30 minutes, with no downtime. Grace + Grey is a luxury med spa inside Shaddix Plastic Surgery in Pensacola, under the medical direction of board-certified plastic surgeon Kyle Shaddix, MD. Our aesthetic injectors offer both Botox and Dysport, and consultations are complimentary.
What is Botox Cosmetic?
Botox Cosmetic is an FDA-approved injectable that relaxes the small muscles that cause expression lines. At Grace + Grey, it’s most often used to soften forehead lines, crow’s feet at the outer corners of the eyes, and the vertical frown lines between the brows (the “11s”). It can also soften a gummy smile and give the tail of the brow a subtle lift.
Botox softens lines around the eyes, but it doesn’t treat under-eye bags or hollows. Your injector will tell you if filler or another treatment is a better fit.
Is Botox Treatment Right for You?
Ideal Botox candidates will be 18 years or older and wish to address dynamic wrinkles for a refreshed appearance. However, those with certain muscle or nerve conditions, those who take blood thinners, or who are pregnant or nursing should not receive Botox. To learn more about candidacy and if this treatment is right for you, please contact our office today to schedule a consultation.
Benefits of Botox
Botox is non-surgical, takes about 30 minutes or less, and results last 3 to 4 months, so most patients only need a few visits a year. At Grace + Grey you also get a surgeon-led practice: we’re located inside Shaddix Plastic Surgery, with Dr. Kyle Shaddix as medical director, so injectables and surgical care can be planned together. Our aesthetic injectors, Lexie Brunson, NP and Kierstin Maddocks, RN, aim for a refreshed look, not a frozen one.
New at Grace + Grey!
We’re an Authorized Upneeq® Provider
Grace + Grey is now an Authorized Upneeq® Provider! Get brighter, more open eyes with no needles required. Upneeq® is a once-daily prescription eye drop that visibly lifts low-lying upper eyelids, and it pairs beautifully with Botox for a refreshed look. Ask us if it’s right for you, or book a consultation.
Upneeq is available by prescription only. See full Prescribing Information and Important Safety Information.
Botox or Dysport?
Grace + Grey offers both Botox and Dysport, two FDA-approved neurotoxins that soften expression lines the same way: by temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause them. Dysport (abobotulinumtoxinA) tends to spread a bit more evenly, which can suit larger areas like the forehead, and some patients notice results a little sooner. Both are quick, no-downtime treatments with results that typically last three to four months.
Your injector will recommend Botox or Dysport based on the areas you want to treat, how your muscles move and how you have responded to treatment in the past.
Your Customized Botox Injections Consultation
Your visit starts with a complimentary consultation. We’ll talk through your goals, look at how your muscles move when you make expressions, and map out the areas to treat, whether that’s your forehead, crow’s feet, frown lines or a combination. Botox can be used on its own or as part of a larger aesthetic plan, including treatments that complement surgical procedures.

Meet The Team The Treatment Process
Treatment is a few quick injections with a fine needle into the muscles that cause your lines. Most visits take about 30 minutes or less, so they fit easily into a lunch break. Most patients feel only a slight pinch, and topical numbing cream is available if you’d like it. The number of injections depends on the areas treated and the results you want.
Recovery and Results
There’s no downtime, so you can go right back to your day. For the best result, avoid lying down right after treatment, skip intense exercise for at least 4 hours, don’t rub or massage the treated areas for 24 hours, and avoid strenuous activity and heavy sun for 1 to 2 days. Mild bruising can happen but fades quickly.
Most people start to see results in 2 to 7 days, with the full effect in 2 to 3 weeks. Results typically last 3 to 4 months, and most patients come back for maintenance on that schedule.

Botox FAQs
Can Botox age you?
A common misconception is that Botox ages patients, but this is a rare occurrence. This unwanted side effect only occurs when Botox is overused but we will take care to administer the right amount of Botox and schedule treatments as needed to maintain your youthful appearance without overuse.
Can Botox cause weight gain?
Botox is not typically associated with weight gain.
Can Botox help sinuses?
Some individuals may experience headache relief after Botox treatment, which can indirectly help alleviate discomfort associated with sinus pressure.
Can Botox lift eyebrows?
Yes. When Botox is injected under the eyebrow, the muscle relaxes and the eyebrow is subtly lifted to address the look of droopy brows. Patients can expect a refreshed and more youthful appearance from this brow lift alternative.
Can I go for a walk after Botox?
Yes, you can go for walks after receiving Botox injections.
Does Botox make you shiny?
Botox can sometimes create the appearance of shininess due to its effects on muscle movement and skin texture. This reduction in fine lines and wrinkles can alter how light reflects on the skin's surface, occasionally giving the appearance of a shinier, more glowing complexion.
How long does Botox last?
Typically, the effects of Botox last between 3 to 4 months after treatment, though this can vary based on factors such as metabolism, the specific area treated, and the frequency of injections.
Is Botox good for under eye wrinkles?
Yes! Botox is commonly used around the eyes to treat crow’s feet and fine lines under the eyes. However, Botox can not treat under-eye bags or hollows.
Should I move my face after Botox?
Smiling, laughing, and squinting after Botox can help the formula penetrate deeper into the muscles. This can help the results develop faster. However, be careful not to massage or touch the injection sites.
What age should I start Botox?
Patients can start Botox treatments as early as their mid-twenties, but some do not begin treatments until their 30s or later. Anyone who is a suitable candidate and is bothered by fine lines and wrinkles can benefit from Botox.
What do I need to know before getting botox?
Before getting Botox, patients should have realistic expectations about the results they can achieve with Botox. It’s also important to understand the necessary steps for preparation and recovery as well as possible side effects. At your consultation, we will discuss the entire procedure in detail so that you are prepared for your treatment.
What is Botox used for?
Botox is used to treat dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated muscle movements and facial expressions. It is also used to treat a gummy smile and hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating).
What should you not do after Botox?
After Botox treatments, we recommend that patients avoid strenuous activity and sun exposure for 1-2 days. Patients should also be careful not to put pressure on the treatment area since this could cause the Botox formula to migrate.
Why cant you lay down after Botox?
It is often advised to avoid lying down soon after receiving Botox injections to minimize the risk of the substance migrating away from the targeted area.
What does Botox treat?
Botox is typically used to treat the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the face, including on the forehead, between the eyebrows, around the eyes, and around the mouth and nose. Clinical trials have shown that it can also be used to treat neck spasms, excessive sweating (severe primary axillary hyperhidrosis), chronic migraine, and urinary incontinence.
Does Botox hurt?
Botox injections may have some level of discomfort at first, but it's typically not painful. Numbing cream can be used to help with any discomfort but it's not usually needed.
How does Botox work?
Botox works by blocking certain nerve signals at the injection site that make the muscles contract. It makes the muscles relax and smooths the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
How many injections of Botox do I need?
How many Botox injections you need depends on the area being treated and the results you're looking for.
When will I see the results from Botox?
You can expect to see the results of Botox as soon as 3-4 days after the injections, however, it can take 2 to 3 weeks to take full effect.
Are there side effects associated with Botox?
As with any injectable treatment, there are possible side effects associated with botulinum toxin injections. The most common include swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site. However, more serious symptoms may occur, such as vision problems like blurred vision, trouble swallowing, muscle weakness, or drooping eyelids. If you experience serious symptoms, please seek medical help as soon as possible.
How long does Botox treatment take?
Botox treatment only takes 30 minutes or less, so it can easily be performed on your lunch break or in between errands.
How often should I get Botox?
Botox results last about 3-4 months. As the results wear off, additional treatments can be scheduled to preserve your wrinkle-free skin.
