First Time Tox Tips
Curious about cosmetic injectables but not sure what your first appointment will be like? Whether you’re considering Botox, Jeuveau, or Xeomin, your visit doesn’t have to feel intimidating. At Mindful Med Spa in Boise, we’re here to guide you every step of the way with expert care and a calm, supportive experience.
Below, we’re breaking down exactly what to expect from your first tox appointment — from consultation to post-treatment care — so you can feel confident before you even arrive.
Your Consultation Comes First
Before anything is injected, you’ll meet with Dr. Maria Jensen, our board-certified Anesthesiologist and cosmetic injector. She’ll take time to discuss your goals, assess your facial anatomy, and recommend a personalized treatment plan based on what you’d like to enhance.
Whether you’re hoping to soften forehead lines, reduce frown lines, or refresh your overall appearance, this is a collaborative process — your preferences always lead the way.
If you’re unsure which product to use (Botox, Jeuveau, or Xeomin), don’t worry. Dr. Jensen will explain the subtle differences between each neuromodulator, including how they work, how long they last, and which one best fits your facial structure and lifestyle.
What the Injection Process Feels Like
After your consultation, you can typically move forward with treatment the same day. The injection process itself is quick, precise, and minimally uncomfortable. Most clients describe the sensation as a few small pinches that last only seconds.
Our team uses gentle techniques and calming strategies to ensure a comfortable, stress-free experience. You’ll be in and out of the office in less than 30 minutes — making it an easy appointment to schedule over lunch or between errands.
What to Expect After Your Appointment
There’s little to no downtime after your tox treatment, but following a few simple aftercare guidelines helps ensure the best results:
Stay upright for 4–6 hours after treatment — avoid lying down right away.
Refrain from touching or massaging the area to prevent unwanted product movement.
Skip strenuous workouts and alcohol for the rest of the day to reduce swelling or bruising.
Mild redness or small bumps at the injection site are normal and typically resolve within a few hours.
When You'll See Results
Injectables don’t deliver results instantly — but they’re worth the short wait. Most clients begin noticing smoother skin within 3–5 days, with full results visible in about 10–14 days.
If it’s your first time receiving Botox, Jeuveau, or Xeomin, Dr. Jensen will start conservatively to ensure your results look natural. Follow-up visits can fine-tune your treatment for balance and longevity.
