Start the Year Refreshed: Boost Your Confidence With Botox and Fillers
January is a time of new beginnings. But after the whirlwind of holiday celebrations and family gatherings, you might notice that stress and fatigue have left their mark. Perhaps you see new lines around your eyes when you smile, or your face appears more tired than you feel inside.
At Wink Medical Aesthetics in Lakeway, we understand that looking your best directly impacts how you feel. Our expert providers specialize in helping you enhance your natural beauty with injectables like Botox and dermal fillers. These proven treatments can help you step into the new year feeling refreshed and ready to tackle whatever 2025 brings your way.
Making Self-Care a Priority in 2025
Self-care means different things to different people. For some, it’s a relaxing massage or a quiet morning with a good book. For others, it’s taking steps to feel more confident when they look in the mirror. Whatever form it takes, prioritizing self-care isn’t selfish — according to most experts, it’s actually essential for your mental and emotional well-being.
When you feel confident about your appearance, that positive energy radiates through every aspect of your life. Your smile comes more easily in meetings, you carry yourself with greater assurance, and you focus less on those little imperfections that used to catch your eye.
Aesthetic treatments like Botox and dermal fillers can play a meaningful role in your self-care routine. These subtle enhancements can help soften the signs of aging and stress, allowing your inner vitality to shine through. The Wink team believes in creating customized treatment plans that respect your individual beauty while helping you achieve natural-looking improvements that boost your confidence.
Think of aesthetic treatments as an investment in yourself. Just as you might invest time in exercise or money in quality skincare, injectable treatments are another tool in your self-care arsenal. They can help you maintain a refreshed, well-rested appearance that matches your inner energy and determination to make this year your best yet.
Understanding Your Options for Facial Rejuvenation
Achieving a refreshed appearance starts with understanding which injectable treatments will best serve your goals. At Wink Medical Aesthetics, we specialize in creating customized treatment plans that might include neurotoxins like Botox or Dysport, dermal fillers, or a combination of both, depending on your needs and the concerns you’d like to address.
Smooth Away Dynamic Wrinkles With Botox or Dysport
That furrow between your brows from concentration, the crow’s feet around your eyes, the forehead creases that make you look worried — Botox and Dysport address these common concerns by targeting the facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles. When expertly injected, Botox smooths away these expression lines while preserving your natural ability to show emotion. The treatment takes effect gradually over several days, creating subtle improvements that leave others noticing you look more refreshed, not frozen.
Botox is one of the most popular wrinkle relaxers in the world, with millions of people receiving injections each year. Dysport works similarly to Botox but is formulated with smaller molecules, allowing it to work faster and spread further. Which one is right for you depends on your goals and preferences. Some patients prefer Botox, while others are more partial to Dysport.
Restore Lost Volume With Dermal Fillers
While Botox and Dysport work by temporarily relaxing the facial muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles to appear with every wink, frown or smile, dermal fillers restore lost volume to smooth away static lines and wrinkles — the ones that are visible even when your face is at rest. Most fillers are smooth gels made with hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance that your body produces to cushion the joints and keep your skin firm and hydrated.
At Wink, we offer a comprehensive selection of fillers, each designed for specific areas and concerns. From plumping up the lips to restoring youthful cheek contours, dermal fillers can create remarkable yet natural-looking results. The volumizing effects appear immediately and typically last six months to a year, depending on the product used and the area treated.
We Belong Together: Combining Botox & Dermal Fillers
Botox and dermal fillers work well together to reduce the signs of aging. While Botox smooths away dynamic wrinkles by relaxing the facial muscles, fillers restore volume and contour. Together, they provide comprehensive results that complement each other perfectly.
At Wink Medical Aesthetics, we frequently develop treatment plans incorporating both injectables to maximize your results. Our team of expert injectors understand the artistry of combining these treatments — knowing precisely where to place each product, how much to use, and when to schedule your treatments for optimal results. We take time to explain what kind of results you can expect and create a timeline that fits your goals and budget.
Building Your Bespoke Beauty Blueprint
Every face tells its own unique story. The laughter lines around your eyes might reflect years of joyful moments. The subtle furrow between your brows could be from concentrating deeply on work you love. That’s why we never take a one-size-fits-all approach to injectable treatments.
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation at our Lakeway office. During this time, we discuss your aesthetic goals while carefully evaluating your facial structure, skin quality and natural movement patterns. We’ll ask about your lifestyle and listen to what bothers you most when you look in the mirror. This detailed assessment helps us develop a personalized treatment plan that enhances your natural beauty while respecting your unique features.
The timing of your treatments matters, too. We’ll help you plan your injectable sessions around important events, considering factors like initial swelling and the time needed for results to fully develop. If you’re preparing for a special occasion, we typically recommend scheduling Botox or Dysport at least two weeks in advance and fillers three to four weeks before your event.
Your consultation also includes a discussion about what to expect after your appointment. We’ll talk about realistic outcomes, potential side effects and how to maintain long-term results. Our goal is to ensure you feel completely informed and confident about your treatment.
Your Botox/Filler Experience at Wink
Walking into Wink Medical Aesthetics feels different from a typical medical office. Our warm, inviting space in Lakeway — just outside of Austin, Texas — creates an atmosphere where you can relax and feel confident about your treatment. From the moment you arrive, you’ll notice our attention to detail and commitment to your comfort.
Your experience begins with a friendly welcome from our team. We’ll escort you to one of our private treatment rooms, designed to feel more like a luxury spa than a cold, clinical setting. Before administering your treatment, we take time to review your goals and answer any last-minute questions you might have.
Our expert injectors bring technical precision and an artistic eye to every treatment. They understand the subtle nuances of facial anatomy and take a conservative approach that respects your natural features. Whether you’re receiving Botox, dermal fillers, or both, each injection is carefully placed to achieve optimal results that never look frozen or overdone.
After treatment, your provider will give you a mirror so you can review the results together, explaining what to expect over the following days or weeks. Before you leave, we’ll also provide you with detailed aftercare instructions and schedule any follow-up appointments. We encourage our patients to reach out with questions during their recovery — you’ll have direct access to our team throughout your healing process.
Planning Your 2025 Treatment Schedule
The key to maintaining your refreshed appearance lies in thoughtful treatment timing. Starting your injectable treatments in winter creates an ideal foundation for year-round confidence. At Wink Medical Aesthetics, we help you develop a schedule that anticipates your needs while fitting seamlessly into your lifestyle.
Think of your treatment plan like a calendar that flows with the seasons. Starting Botox treatments in January or February means you’ll look refreshed for spring events and early summer activities. Your results typically last three to four months, so scheduling follow-up treatments in late spring ensures you maintain your rejuvenated appearance through summer’s outdoor activities and lake days.
For dermal fillers, timing depends on the specific products used and the areas treated. Cheek fillers might last up to a year, while lip enhancements typically need refreshing every six to nine months. We help you track these intervals and schedule maintenance treatments at the optimal time — before your results fully fade but not so early that you’re overtreating.
Consider your social calendar when planning treatments. If you have significant events coming up, like a wedding, reunion, or another important professional engagement, we’ll work backward to ensure your results look their absolute best. Remember that Botox takes about two weeks to fully develop, while fillers might have some initial swelling that takes a few days to resolve.
FAQs About Injectables
Will the cooler weather affect my recovery from Botox or fillers?
Winter weather actually provides ideal conditions for recovery. The cold helps reduce swelling, and you’re less likely to experience excessive sweating that could impact your results. However, protect your skin from sun exposure and harsh winds in the first few days after treatment.
Do I need to adjust my skincare routine after treatment?
Proper skin care after your injectable treatment helps optimize your results and ensure a smooth recovery. At Wink, we recommend using gentle, hydrating products that support your skin’s healing process. Start with a mild cleanser that won’t irritate treated areas, followed by a hydrating serum containing hyaluronic acid to maintain skin plumpness. Your provider at Wink can recommend specific medical-grade skincare products for optimal results and healing.
Will my results look natural?
Absolutely. Michele and our expert injectors at Wink specialize in creating subtle, natural-looking improvements. We take a conservative approach that enhances your features while ensuring you still look like yourself – just refreshed and rejuvenated. Our patients often tell us that friends notice they look better but can’t quite put their finger on what’s different.
I’m nervous about pain. What should I expect?
Your comfort is our priority at Wink. We use ice packs and specialized techniques to minimize discomfort. Most patients describe Botox as feeling like a quick pinch, while fillers might cause a slight pressure sensation. Some brands of filler — especially those used in more sensitive areas, like the lips — are formulated with lidocaine to ensure a comfortable experience. Many people find their treatments to be easier and more tolerable than they expected.
How can I get the most value from my treatments?
Following your aftercare instructions carefully helps extend your results. We also offer Wink Club membership options that provide savings on regular treatments. Maintaining a consistent treatment schedule often provides the most cost-effective way to preserve your results.
