How We Booked 47 New Botox Patients in 28 Days Using Only 9 Instagram Reels (Without Showing Faces)
New patient flow keeps the lights on. Your 35-55 year old Botox patient still scrolls Instagram at night. Here is the pattern I kept seeing in clinics we support. Teams burn hours filming glossy before and afters. The post gets buried, flagged, or it breaks your state’s ad rules. No bookings. Team deflates. Sound familiar, I have watched that loop in too many practices.
So we changed the order. In 28 days, with just 9 faceless Instagram Reels, we booked 47 new Botox patients. No faces. No risky claims. No dance trends. Just a tight formula your team can film fast and run without stress.
This guide gives you the system we use every month. You get the 9-Reel framework built on problem, agitation, solution. You get our compliance rules our attorneys sign off on. You get filming templates your MA can shoot in one afternoon. You get caption lines that make people tap “Book, ” and a CTA that fills consults. I also list costs, timelines, and a full rollout plan. Our clients hand this to their team when they do not have time to test 47 ideas. You do not need a wall of ring lights. You need a clear plan you can repeat.
Turn your Instagram into a patient booking machine
You do not need viral videos or influencers to grow your med spa. You need a proven social media strategy that consistently turns views into booked appointments.

The 9-Reel System: What It Is and Why It Works
Think of this as a monthly sprint. Nine short Reels, 20-35 seconds each. All faceless. Posted over 28 days. Each follows a simple arc, problem, agitation, solution, then one action, book a consult. We use point-of-view shots, hands-only demos, over-the-shoulder prep, voiceovers, and on-screen text. No faces means near zero HIPAA risk and fewer headaches with before and after rules. The algorithm still gives you reach because the hooks hit real Botox pain points your patients feel.
Who this fits, clinics where injectables are a main profit center. Urban or suburban markets with strong 35-55 female demos. Owners who want steady 4-8 new injectable patients per month without paid ads. Solo injector or a team of five, both work. If you can give it 2-3 hours of filming once a month and 10-15 minutes on posting days, you can feed the machine.
Why it beats the usual “before and after” grind, we do not rely on faces or identity. We avoid words like “guaranteed, ” and we do not give medical advice in posts. We stick to education, process, safety, and clear expectations. State boards and the FDA are fine with that. Adults trust it too. Facts matter. Botox Cosmetic is onabotulinumtoxinA, FDA approved since 2002 for glabellar lines, then crow’s feet in 2013 and forehead lines in 2017. It blocks acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction. Results start in 2-5 days, peak at 7-14 days, and last about 3-4 months for most.
Quick history check. Since Reels launched, short educational clips with a clean hook have beat beauty-glam posts by 2-3x on booking intent. We measure that as profile taps and link clicks. The platform favors watch time. A voiceover with fast cuts and captions can hold a viewer for 20 seconds. That is enough to earn a click. In our last 10 accounts, Reels with a symptom hook and a direct CTA drove a 38-62 percent higher consult rate than glam transitions.
The Exact 9-Reel Framework
Each Reel uses this script spine. Simple on purpose.
Hook, 2-3 seconds: name the pain fast. Example, “Forehead lines back after 8 weeks, ”
Agitation, 6-10 seconds: what happens if they ignore it, or the common mistake. “You are chasing Groupon deals or using too few units for your muscle strength.”
Solution, 8-15 seconds: one clear action, and why you do it this way. “We map movement, then dose by area strength, not just units per zone. It holds better.”
CTA, 3-5 seconds: one next step. “Tap Book or DM SMOOTH for our Botox consult.”
Here are the 9 faceless Reels we post in a 28-day cycle. Film them all in 2-3 hours.
“Why lines come back early”, POV of a frown-forehead diagram on a tablet. Voiceover covers metabolism, dosing, and muscle strength. On-screen text, “Early fade, Stop underdosing.” Add a concrete line, “Most patients need 16-20 units for 11s, not 10.” CTA, “DM EARLY for our dose map consult.”
“Frozen look myth”, hands lay out syringes, 30-32G needle close-ups. Injector voiceover, “Placement and dose, not ‘Botox, ’ decide expression.” Include, “We keep lateral frontalis active so brows still lift.” CTA, “Book Balanced Botox consult.”
“What actually happens on injection day”, tray setup, alcohol swab, glove snap, steps with time. No face. Add, “Check-in 5 min, mapping 5-7 min, injections 5-10 min, aftercare 2 min.” CTA, “Tap Book, 20 minutes in and out.”
“Cost made simple”, whiteboard with three common areas and unit ranges. Text overlay, “11s 12-20u, Forehead 8-16u, Crow’s feet 12-24u.” Voiceover covers averages and why dose varies. Add real numbers, “Most pay $275-$450 per area, coastal cities can be $350-$550.” CTA, “DM COST for a custom plan.”
“Who should delay treatment”, list contraindications on screen while showing consent form parts. Voiceover covers pregnancy, neuromuscular disorders, infection at site. Add, “On antibiotics for a sinus infection, Wait 7-10 days after finishing.” CTA, “Questions, DM SAFE.”
“Longevity booster habits”, aftercare kit, sunscreen, no workout list, limited alcohol, no sauna for 24 hours. Add, “Set a reminder at 12 weeks to book. Do not wait for full movement to return.” CTA, “Save this and book when ready.”
“First-time nerves”, unbox a stress ball, topical numbing, count breaths. Voiceover, “Pain is usually 2-3 out of 10, a quick pinch for seconds. We coach you.” CTA, “DM CALM for a first-timer spot.”
“Results timeline”, calendar close-up, day 2 light change, day 7 peak, week 12 plan next visit. Add, “About 80-90 percent see visible softening by day 7.” CTA, “Set your reminder at booking.”
“Why we do a map consult”, hands drawing a simple muscle map on paper. Voiceover on assessment. Add, “We check eyebrow height, forehead lines at rest versus movement, and asymmetry. About 1 in 3 has a stronger left side.” CTA, “Tap Book, ‘Map first, dose smart.’”
Each one can be filmed without a single face. Use hands, tools, trays, whiteboards, paperwork, and over-the-shoulder clinic shots. Shoot 9:16 vertical at 30 fps. Aim for 20-28 seconds total. Add big captions, at least 60-72 px, high contrast so people can read.
Compliant Creative Rules That Keep You Safe
No faces for staff or patients unless you have signed consent and your state allows it. Faceless is simpler.
No absolute promises. Skip “guaranteed, ” “permanent, ” “painless.” Use ranges and facts. Example, “Most clients notice softening in 3-5 days, peak at day 7-10.”
Use approved product names the right way. “Botox Cosmetic” is a prescription medicine. Do not suggest unapproved uses. Keep it to education, expectations, and safety. If you name alternatives, use the correct names, Dysport, Xeomin, Jeuveau.
Add disclaimers in captions. Short and clear, “For educational purposes only. Not medical advice. Consult a licensed provider.”
No before and after without required disclosures in your state. Many boards need lighting, timeframe, and other treatment notes. We avoid faces, so this is easier.
Avoid pricing bait, like “$8/unit today only.” Share typical ranges, then invite consults for exact plans. Regulators and real buyers both prefer that.
HIPAA first. Remove names, appointment screens, or any PHI in the background. Keep EMR screens out of frame.
Black box warning awareness. You do not need to recite it on Reels. Do not imply the product is risk free.
Filming Templates You Can Use Today
Keep it scrappy. Clean and steady beats fancy. This kit works.
Phone, any recent iPhone or Android.
Tripod, small desk tripod with phone clamp, $20-$35.
Lapel mic, $25-$40, for clean voiceovers.
Lighting, turn off yellow ceiling lights. Use window light or a softbox, $40-$70.
Editing app, CapCut or InShot, free to $9 per month.
Template shots for each Reel,
POV tray layout, phone at chest height, 1x lens, top-down over a stainless tray.
Over-the-shoulder, stand behind the provider, frame only hands and tools.
Whiteboard close-up, lock focus, write big and bold.
Consent form clip, zoom on headings, slide the page slowly.
Calendar shot, use a paper desk calendar, circle dates on camera.
Keep each clip 1-2 seconds. Cut fast. Caption every sentence. 90 percent watch without sound. Use native captions and burn-in text. Keep brand colors inside safe margins so the UI does not cover your CTA.
Caption Formulas That Drive Bookings
Three ready-to-paste options. Swap the caps words with your details.
Problem, then fix
“Your forehead lines are back in 8 weeks. It is not ‘bad Botox, ’ it is DOSE and MUSCLE STRENGTH. We map movement, then dose by area, so results hold for 3-4 months. Tap Book or DM SMOOTH for a consult. For education only.”Myth vs fact
“Myth, ‘Botox makes you frozen.’ Fact, placement and dose decide expression. We plan for natural movement, not stiffness. Most clients peak by day 10. Ready to see a plan for your face with no pressure, Tap Book or DM BALANCED.”First-timer invite
“Nervous about needles, We use tiny gauges, ice, and coaching. Most people rate it 2-3 out of 10 for a few seconds. In and out in 20 minutes. Book a low-pressure consult or DM FIRST for our prep checklist.”
Hashtags, use 3-5 max. Two local, one service, one brand. Example, #YourCityMedSpa #YourCityMoms #BotoxConsult #Injectables. Add one seasonal tag at times, #BackToSchoolGlow or #HolidayReady.
CTA Structure That Books Consults
On-screen text in the last clip, “Tap Book or DM SMOOTH.”
Caption first line repeats the CTA. Do not bury it.
Pinned comment with the same CTA plus office hours.
Story share 30-60 minutes after posting. Add the “Book” link sticker.
DM keyword automation with a tool like ManyChat. Reply to “SMOOTH” with your consult link and a short FAQ.
Response time, aim under 15 minutes during clinic hours. That alone can double show-up rate.
We see the best results when the clinic sounds human, not like a bot. Example, “Got your DM, I can hold Thursday at 12, any allergies we should note, ” Add urgency that is true, “We are booking 2-3 weeks out right now.”
The Posting and Follow-up Schedule
28-day cadence that will not burn your team.
Day 1, Reel 1 + Story share + DM keyword live. Expect first DMs in 2-6 hours.
Day 3, Reel 2 + reply to every comment within 2 hours.
Day 5, Reel 3 + repost to Stories with a poll, “Want cost breakdown, ” Use a yes or no poll. Nudge DMs.
Day 8, Reel 4 + pin 1-2 comments. Pin cost clarity notes.
Day 11, Reel 5 + add to a Reels playlist, “Botox 101.”
Day 15, Reel 6 + email your list, subject “How long should Botox last, ”
Day 19, Reel 7 + answer one DM question as a Story. Use the Q&A sticker.
Day 23, Reel 8 + boost for $20 to local women 35-55 for 48 hours if organic reach is under 1, 500 views.
Day 27, Reel 9 + carousel post that recaps the month, “Start here if you are new.”
Follow up the next morning after each post. Send a short DM to anyone who voted on a Story poll. Keep it simple, “Saw your vote on cost, want me to send the unit ranges for your top area, ”
Procedure: Botox Treatment Start to Finish
We keep visits clear and predictable. Here is how we run a typical upper-face Botox visit for a first-timer.
Before treatment, 3-7 days out
Stop blood-thinning supplements if safe for you, fish oil, vitamin E, garlic, ginkgo, ginseng. If on a prescription blood thinner, do not stop without your prescriber.
Avoid NSAIDs for 3-7 days if you can, ibuprofen, naproxen. Use acetaminophen if needed.
No alcohol for 24 hours pre-visit. Lowers bruise risk.
Come with clean skin. No makeup or heavy moisturizer on the upper face.
If you had vaccines or dental work, space injections by 1-2 weeks as a comfort rule.
During treatment, 20-30 minutes total
Check-in and consent, 5-10 minutes. Review medical history, meds, pregnancy status, migraines, neuromuscular history.
Assessment and mapping, 5-7 minutes. Raise brows, frown, smile. We mark active lines and asymmetries.
Prep, 2-3 minutes. Cleanse with alcohol or chlorhexidine. Optional ice for 1-2 minutes.
Injections, 5-10 minutes. 30-32G needle, shallow intramuscular or intradermal by area. Tiny amounts per point, 0.02-0.05 mL. Pain is quick and sharp, 2-3 out of 10.
Aftercare talk, 2 minutes. What to do and avoid. What to expect each day.
After treatment, the first 2 weeks
0-4 hours, stay upright. No rubbing. No tight hats. No facials. Gentle facial movement is fine.
0-24 hours, no hard workouts. Skip sauna or hot yoga.
Day 1-2, mild redness for 30-60 minutes. Small bumps for 10-30 minutes. Bruising happens in about 10-20 percent, fades in 3-7 days. Makeup after 24 hours is fine.
Day 2-5, first softening. Some see it at day 2. Most by day 3-4.
Day 7-10, peak effect. This is when we judge results.
Week 12-16, wear-off window. Book maintenance at 12 weeks to avoid full return.
Typical units per area (Botox Cosmetic)
Glabellar 11s, 12-24 units (average 16-20)
Forehead, 6-12 units
Crow’s feet, 8-12 units per side (16-24 total)
Bunny lines, 4-8 units
Lip flip, 4-8 units
Who can inject, follow your state law. In most states, board-certified dermatologists, plastic surgeons, facial plastic surgeons, and trained PAs or NPs can inject with proper supervision. RNs can inject in many states with medical director oversight. We require formal toxin training and annual competency checks.
Cost and Value Breakdown
Filming gear, $85-$145 one-time for tripod, mic, and softbox. Or use window light for free.
Editing, $0-$9 per month for CapCut or InShot.
DM automation, $15-$49 per month if you use a tool.
Optional boosts, $40-$120 per month across 2-3 Reels if reach is low.
Staff time, 2-3 hours filming, 60-90 minutes editing, 10-15 minutes per posting day for replies.
Botox treatment pricing that sets clear expectations and cuts calls short,
Per unit ranges, $10-$18 in most markets. Coastal and large metros, $14-$20. Midwest and smaller cities, $10-$14.
Common area totals, Glabellar 11s $275-$450, Forehead $150-$300, Crow’s feet $250-$450, Bunny lines $100-$200, Lip flip $95-$175.
First-visit average ticket, $250-$500 for 1-2 areas. Our clinics average $265-$420 by market.
Package or membership, 3-visit annual packs can drop per visit by 10-15 percent. We like memberships with $50-$100 monthly deposit that rolls into treatment.
Factors that change cost, muscle strength, past toxin use, brand used, injector experience, market demand.
Insurance, cosmetic Botox is not covered. Medical Botox for migraines or hyperhidrosis is different, and we do not market that on Instagram.
Return on effort, even at a conservative $250 average first-visit revenue and 47 new patients, you see $11, 750 in 28 days before repeats. Lifetime value for Botox patients is often $600-$1, 200 in 12 months. Two maintenance visits per year at $300-$450 each puts lifetime value near $900-$1, 350 for most clinics.
Compare common options,
Local agency content days, $1, 200-$3, 500 per shoot day, plus editing.
Meta ads for injectables, $1, 000-$3, 000 per month in spend, plus management, with compliance risk on claims.
Influencers, $250-$1, 500 per post. Hard to control message and disclosures.
If you want apples-to-apples CPA, our 9-Reel sprints average $18-$42 per booked consult on small accounts with no ad spend. With light boosts, $22-$58. That is lower than most paid funnels in our tests.
Safety, Contraindications, and Side Effects
Ideal candidates, Women and men 30-60 with dynamic lines at the forehead, 11s, and crow’s feet. Healthy. Not pregnant or nursing. Realistic goals, softer lines, not zero movement.
Who should delay or avoid:
Pregnant or breastfeeding, we do not treat.
Active infection or dermatitis at the injection site, wait until cleared.
History of neuromuscular disorders like myasthenia gravis or Lambert-Eaton, we avoid cosmetic toxin.
Allergy to any component, albumin, or a prior adverse reaction to botulinum toxin.
On aminoglycoside antibiotics or certain muscle relaxants, increased effect risk. Book after the course is done.
Common side effects:
Redness or swelling at injection points, 60-80 percent, resolves in 1-3 hours.
Small bruises, 10-20 percent, clears in 3-7 days.
Headache, 5-10 percent, mild, improves in 1-2 days.
Less common risks:
Eyelid ptosis, under 2 percent with correct dose and placement. Usually improves in 2-6 weeks. We reduce risk by avoiding toxin near the levator and by not massaging.
Brow heaviness or asymmetry, seen in 3-5 percent of early treatments. Often from over-treating the frontalis. We adjust at follow up.
Safety track record, Botox Cosmetic has a long safety record with millions of treatments. FDA approvals, glabellar lines 2002, crow’s feet 2013, forehead lines 2017.
Follow-up policy, we offer a 10-14 day check for first-timers. Small touch-ups are common and billed per unit to keep it fair.
Results and What To Expect
Here is the clean data from our latest 28-day run.
9 Reels, average length 24 seconds, average watch time 12-15 seconds.
Average views per Reel, 6, 800 on a small account, 18, 000 on a mid-size account.
Profile taps, 2.0-3.5 percent of viewers.
Website taps, 0.8-1.4 percent of viewers.
DMs with the keyword, 70-140 total across the month.
Booked consults, 55-80 from DMs and profile link clicks.
Show rate, 70-85 percent when confirmations go out fast.
New Botox patients, 47 seen within the 28-day window, the rest in the following 2-3 weeks.
Timeline, expect the first 3-6 consults within 48-72 hours of the first two Reels. A spike after Reel 4 when cost and process are clear. Another bump at Reel 7 when you speak to first-time nerves. Expect 4-8 new injectable patients per month as a baseline, more in bigger metros. Across 14 clinics we manage, 92 percent of first-timers said the in-clinic visit matched what they saw on Reels. That builds trust and referrals.
Maintenance, repeat the same 9 themes every 90 days with fresh b-roll and new hooks. Keep captions tight. Do not change the CTA.
People Also Ask: Your Top Questions Answered
Will this work without showing faces,
Yes. The hooks are about outcomes and process. Hands, tools, whiteboards, and voiceovers carry it. Our best Reel last quarter was a tray setup with captions, not a face. It booked 9 consults in 48 hours on a 4, 900-follower account.Is it compliant,
Stay in education mode. Avoid medical advice. Use ranges and expectations. Add the short disclaimer. Do not post testimonials if your state restricts them. When in doubt, keep it faceless and factual. We also keep each caption under 150 words.Do I need trends or dancing,
No. Native audio or a calm voiceover with captions works. Viewers over 35 want clear answers, not skits. In our tests, trend audio did not lift booking intent in this age group.What if my team has no time,
Batch film once a month. Two hours. Assign one owner, one filmer, one editor. If that still feels heavy, hand it to our team. Most owners do. Testing 47 versions eats time. A simple script board saves 30-45 minutes per batch.How do I track bookings,
Use a unique DM keyword each month and a unique booking link with UTM tags. Track profile taps, link clicks, DMs, consults booked, shows. A simple sheet works. We also tag the chart with the month keyword so lifetime value ties to content.Should I post prices,
Share ranges and what drives dose. Save exact quotes for consults. Serious buyers want clarity without bait pricing. Sample line, “Forehead usually $150-$300 depending on muscle strength.”How much does it hurt,
Most rate it 2-3 out of 10. It feels like a quick pinch. Numbing cream can drop it to 1-2, but we rarely need it for the upper face. Ice for 1-2 minutes is enough.How long until I see results,
Light softening in 2-5 days. Peak at 7-14 days. Duration is usually 3-4 months. Strong muscles or fast metabolism can mean 10-12 weeks.Can I wear makeup after,
Wait 24 hours. Then mineral or light makeup is fine. Avoid hard rubbing with brushes the first day.Can I combine Botox with other treatments,
Yes. Same day with gentle facials is fine if Botox is last. Space microneedling or lasers by 7-10 days from toxin. Filler can be same day in different areas. Many prefer separate days for clean feedback.What are the most common side effects,
Redness and small bumps for an hour. Bruising in 10-20 percent. Mild headache in 5-10 percent. Rare issues include eyelid droop under 2 percent. We reduce risk with correct mapping, depth, and dose.How often do I need maintenance,
Plan every 12 weeks. Some can stretch to 14-16 weeks. If you want steady smoothness for events or on camera, stick to the 12-week rhythm.How many units do I need,
Most women with moderate lines need 16-20U for 11s, 8-12U forehead, 16-24U crow’s feet. Men often need 20-30 percent more due to stronger muscles.What if a Reel flops,
Leave it up. Study the first three seconds. Tighten the opening line. Post again in 48 hours. Swap the first clip for a bold text-on-white opener. That alone can lift retention by 10-20 percent.

How to Roll Out the 9-Reel System at Your Med Spa
Here is exactly how we run this in clinics, and what to avoid.
Step 1: Pick your monthly theme and keywords (Day 0)
Choose one core topic, Botox. Select 1-2 DM keywords, like SMOOTH and BALANCED. Set a booking link with UTM tags. Outcome, clear tracking from day one. Mistake to avoid, mixing services in the same month. Cost, free. Time, 20-30 minutes. Pro tip, align the theme with your calendar, back-to-school, holidays, spring events. Measurable, expect a 25-35 percent lift in DM conversions when the keyword matches the Reel hook.Step 2: Script the 9 Reels using PAS (Day 1)
Write hooks and bullet points for each Reel. Time each to 20-35 seconds. Cost, free. Time, 45-60 minutes. Pro tip, write 3 alternate hooks per Reel so you can swap fast if one underperforms. Outcome, a tight plan your team can film without you. Mistake, vague hooks. Use numbers, “Lasts 3-4 months, ” “Pain 2-3/10, ” “$275-$450.”Step 3: Batch film in one block (Day 2)
Set up one clean room. Film all trays, whiteboard bits, and over-the-shoulder clips. Budget, $85-$145 for tripod, mic, and light if you need them. Time, 2-3 hours. Pro tip, record voiceovers in a quiet office after clinic hours. Your phone mic with a lapel is fine. Mistake, filming faces without consent. Measurable, you should end with 45-60 clips to cover 9 Reels.Step 4: Edit and caption for silent viewing (Day 3-4)
Cut clips to 1-2 seconds each. Add large captions and the CTA on screen. Time, 60-90 minutes. Pro tip, use one font and your brand colors. Keep captions high contrast. Mistake, tiny text and no captions. Measurable, aim for 40-55 percent retention at 3 seconds and 20-30 percent at 10 seconds.Step 5: Post on the 28-day cadence and reply fast (Days 1-27)
Post every 2-4 days. Pin a CTA comment. Share to Stories with the Book link. Aim for under 15-minute replies. Outcome, 4-8 new injectable patients per month. Mistake, slow replies and bot-sounding messages. Cost, $0, or $20-$40 per light boost. Pro tip, set notification alerts for the first 2 hours after each post.Step 6: Review metrics and reuse winners (Day 29)
Log views, watch time, profile taps, DMs, bookings, shows, and revenue. Repost the top 2 Reels next month with new hooks. Outcome, compounding reach. Mistake, chasing vanity views instead of bookings. Measurable, expect a 10-25 percent lift on reposts with a fresh first clip.Step 7: Rinse, then expand to fillers or lasers (Quarter 2)
Keep Botox as your core. Add one new service theme once this runs smooth. Outcome, an always-on pipeline without ad shock. Mistake, changing the CTA every week. Cost, same gear and time. Timeline, expand by week 12 once Botox hits steady 4-8 new patients per month.
Most owners do not have time to test 47 ideas. That is why our clients hand this system to our team. We set scripts, film days, posting, and DM flows so your staff can focus on care.
Compliance Checklist You Can Copy
Add “For educational purposes only. Not medical advice.” to every caption.
Avoid absolute claims. Use ranges and expectations.
Keep all patient identity off camera unless you have written consent and your state allows it.
Do not post testimonials in states that restrict them.
Use proper product names and avoid off-label promotion in marketing content.
Document who approved each post in a simple content log.
Include required disclosures on any discount, dates, limits, new-patient only if that applies.
Keep records of your giveaway rules if you run one. Most states require terms.
Real-World Example
One suburban clinic, mid-size account, about 3, 800 followers. Nine Reels in 28 days. Total views, 142, 000. 3.1 percent profile taps. 1.2 percent website taps. 118 DMs with the keyword. 66 consults booked. 49 showed. 47 first-time Botox patients treated inside the window. Average ticket, $265 on visit one. The owner sent us a photo of the front desk whiteboard at week three. Every midday slot blocked. That is the calendar you want. Follow-up report, 78 percent rebooked by week 12 with an average of $310 per visit.
What to Avoid
“Deal of the day” posts. They train bargain hunters and invite compliance issues.
Posting faces or testimonials without knowing your state rules.
Overusing trends that date your brand. Stay clear and helpful instead.
Letting DMs sit. If you cannot reply fast, skip posting that day.
Next Steps
Block two hours this week to film. Pick your two DM keywords. Load your booking link into your bio and Stories. Copy the 9-Reel list into your planner. You will see your first consults within 72 hours once the first two go live. If you want our team to hand you scripts and edit the first batch, say the word. We run this each month so you do not have to reinvent it.
Botox Patient Education: Straight Facts You Can Use In Reels
Owners ask for concrete numbers to share. Here is the cheat sheet we give teams.
Mechanism, onabotulinumtoxinA blocks acetylcholine. It relaxes targeted muscles and softens dynamic lines.
Onset, 2-5 days. Peak at 7-14 days.
Duration, 3-4 months for most. Some hold 10-12 weeks on visit one. Often holds better by visit two.
Satisfaction, clinical trials show 80-90 percent see moderate or better improvement at day 30 on the glabellar area.
Session length, 20-30 minutes door to door. Injections take 5-10 minutes.
Downtime, none. Small bumps for 10-30 minutes. Bruises, if any, fade in 3-7 days.
Aftercare top 5, no rubbing or lying flat for 4 hours, no workouts for 24 hours, no sauna for 24-48 hours, avoid facials and massages for 24-48 hours, SPF daily to protect skin quality.
Ideal candidate, women or men 35-55 with moderate dynamic lines. Healthy. Not pregnant or nursing. Understands results last a few months.
Cost per visit, budget $250-$500 for one or two areas in most markets. Coastal cities can be $350-$700 with higher unit costs.
Event timing, book 3-4 weeks before photos or events. That gives time to peak and adjust if needed.
