Results Timeline & Duration
Onset is gradual, allowing your features to settle in a way that feels natural and unforced. With Botox® treatment, you may notice early softening within 2 to 3 days, with visible changes by days 5 to 7 and peak results around 10 to 14 days. A two-week check is often scheduled to review the balance and make small adjustments if needed. Areas such as the glabella, forehead, and crow’s feet can appear more relaxed, while your expressions remain familiar and true to you.
Results often last about three to four months, influenced by factors like dose, treatment area, metabolism, and natural facial movement. Those with higher activity levels or faster metabolisms may notice a shorter duration, while consistent maintenance may support longer-lasting results. Planning events in advance is recommended, with appointments scheduled about 4 weeks in advance to allow full settling. A thoughtful skincare routine, including daily sun protection, guided retinoid use, and proper hydration, supports overall skin quality while Botox® focuses on softening movement-related lines.

Benefits of Botox®
Safe
Botox® is one of the most (if not the most) researched cosmetic injectables of all time and has been FDA-approved to treat multiple aesthetic and medical issues.
Versatile
Botox® is approved to treat many issues, including wrinkles, migraines, and more. It can also be combined with other treatments.
Effective
At Xanadu Med Spa, Botox® is the go-to treatment for preventing future wrinkles and maintaining smooth skin.
How It Works
Botox® works by using a neurotoxin called botulinum toxin type A. By injecting small, purified doses, we can stop some of the muscle contractions that cause wrinkles in the first place. With these involuntary contractions stopped, you can maintain your youthful appearance for much longer. And the best thing about this treatment is that it can treat almost all areas of your face. Concerned about pain or discomfort? Here’s exactly what getting Botox® feels like.
What Botox® Does and How It Works
An anti-aging injectable is often chosen to soften the appearance of fine lines and expression-related wrinkles without surgery or downtime. Botox® is an FDA-approved option that works by temporarily relaxing specific facial muscles linked to repeated movements, such as crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines between the brows. As muscle activity is reduced, the skin above can appear smoother and more even, while your natural expressions remain familiar and balanced.
At Xanadu Med Spa in Fort Collins, Botox® injections are performed with a measured, detail-focused approach that supports subtle, natural-looking refinement. Each anti-wrinkle treatment is tailored to your features, with careful attention to symmetry and movement. In some cases, this type of treatment may also be considered for concerns like jaw tension or excessive sweating when appropriate. Appointments are typically brief, and visible softening develops gradually over several days, with results that may last around three to four months, depending on individual factors.
Let’s Get Real
Taking the Filter Off of Medical Aesthetics
Episode 1
In our first episode, we talk real results and real passion, covering chemical peels, personalized care, and why educating patients is at the heart of what we do. No filters, just honest conversations about what makes medical aesthetics so rewarding.
What to Expect
When you’re ready for anti-wrinkle treatment, we’ll have you lie down on our treatment table, and our injector will use an alcohol wipe to clean the treatment area. This will help prevent infections from occurring after your injections.
Treatment can take anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes, depending on what areas of the face you are treating. You should be completely comfortable during your injections and will be able to return to your daily activities as usual after your appointment.
Pricing Plans
We keep pricing clear and aligned with your goals so each decision feels considered and unhurried. The cost of Botox® injections depends on the number of areas treated, the strength of the muscles, and the number of units needed to achieve a soft, natural look. If you are new to this treatment, a conservative approach with a two-week review allows for small adjustments over time. Returning guests often choose structured plans that support consistent maintenance year-round. Each visit includes a consultation, precise mapping, sterile single-use supplies, and thoughtful post-care guidance, with select options offering follow-up photos and priority scheduling.
We accept HSA and FSA payments where eligible and offer membership options that can lower the per-unit cost when paired with skincare or facial services. If you are unsure how much product is appropriate, a clear range is discussed before starting, and treatment is guided by what feels right for you in the moment. This approach keeps the experience steady, transparent, and centered on your comfort while maintaining the clinical standards.
Pre-Treatment Instructions
These instructions will help ensure your Botox® appointment in Fort Collins, CO, goes smoothly
Avoid These Medications
Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, Advil, and blood thinners (such as fish oil and vitamin E) for 10 days before your appointment.
Stop Using Retinoid Products
Stop using all retinol or retinoid products 2 days before your appointment to ensure your skin isn’t too sensitive during your injections.
No Alcohol/Tobacco
Stop using alcohol and tobacco products 2 days before your appointment, as these will prevent your skin from healing.
Take Zinc Supplements
Studies have shown that higher levels of Zinc in the body at the time of injection can enhance the efficacy of Botox®’s effects.
Drink Water
Being well-hydrated can help your body heal faster and prolong the effects of Botox®.
Avoid Tanning
Use SPF 30 or higher when in direct sunlight, and avoid tanning beds and tanning lotions for the week before your injections.
Post-Treatment Instructions
These guidelines support a steady recovery after your anti-wrinkle treatment.
Do Not Touch
Do not touch or massage the areas of your face that were treated with Botox®. This could move the material from the spot where it needs to be.
Avoid Direct Sunlight
Continue to avoid tanning lotions, tanning beds, and direct sunlight for a week following your appointment. Make sure to wear SPF 30 or higher when in direct sunlight.
Stay Upright
Keep your head upright for at least 4 hours after your treatment to reduce swelling and speed healing.
No Strenuous Activity
Do not work out or engage in any strenuous activity for at least 24 hours after your appointment.

Side‑Effects & Safety Info
Botox® is well tolerated when administered and placed by trained providers. Common, short-term effects include pinpoint redness, mild tenderness, a small bruise, or a light headache, usually fading within 24–72 hours. Rare effects include brow or eyelid heaviness, temporary asymmetry, or smile changes; these typically resolve as the product settles. To lower risk, arrive with clean skin, pause alcohol the day before, and tell us about blood thinners, recent illness, or planned events.
After treatment, avoid rubbing or massaging injection sites, heavy exercise, saunas, and tight headwear for the first day. Stay upright for four hours and skip facials for a week. Pregnant or breastfeeding clients, or anyone with an active infection at the site, should defer. Our clinicians customize placement to keep expression natural and results balanced.

About Xanadu
Ever since Mark first purchased Xanadu in 2015, our goal has been to help our clients feel beautiful inside and out. When we learned that our day spa and a few aesthetic services weren’t helping our clients achieve their goals, we began incorporating more medical aesthetics into our services.
Now, we offer the largest selection of treatments in the North Denver area and continue our work of improving our clients’ lives one treatment at a time.
