Botox in Marietta,
refreshed, never frozen.
Botox and Dysport relax the muscles that etch lines into your skin each time you frown, squint, or smile. Done carefully, they smooth those lines without touching the way you look — you keep your own face, just less tired and less tense.
- 60-minute visit
- Results begin in 3–7 days

- Little to no downtime
What it treats
The lines we reach for a neurotoxin first.
Botox Cosmetic and Dysport are approved for adults seeking temporary improvement of moderate to severe lines caused by muscle movement. Those are the areas our injectors treat most often.
Frown lines
The vertical lines between your brows that deepen every time you concentrate, read, or squint.
Forehead lines
The horizontal lines that travel across the forehead as the muscle underneath lifts the skin.
Crow's feet
The fine fan of lines at the outer corners of the eyes — usually the first to show when you smile.
Neck bands
The vertical cords along the neck, softened by relaxing the muscle that pulls them tight.
A neurotoxin can also do quieter work — a lip flip uses a few units to soften vertical lip lines, and the same relaxant calms a jaw that clenches.
Your visit
How a Botox appointment at Skin Theory actually runs.
- 01
A complimentary consultation
Every new guest starts here. We talk through your health history, the medications you take, and what bothers you in the mirror — then decide together whether a neurotoxin is the right first step.
- 02
Facial mapping
Your injector marks your face while you move it: frowning, raising your brows, smiling. That map shows where the muscle is strong and where a few units will make the difference.
- 03
The treatment
Fine injections, a few minutes of work, and a plan you helped design. The whole visit is about 60 minutes, and you leave with written aftercare rather than a recovery room.
- 04
The reveal
Change begins in three to seven days and finishes at about two weeks — which is when you can judge the result honestly, and when we like to hear how you feel.
After your appointment
A short list of things worth getting right.
Most of aftercare exists to keep the product where we placed it and to minimize bruising. You will leave with these instructions in writing.
Do
- Move the treated muscles for the first hour — frown, raise your brows, squint on purpose.
- Keep your face upright and your routine gentle for the first few hours.
- Call or message us with anything that feels off. We would rather hear about it early.
Avoid
- Rub, massage, or exfoliate the treated area, and skip facials for 24 hours.
- Lie flat, lift heavy, or do hard cardio for the first three hours.
- Use a sauna, hot tub, or tanning bed for about four hours.
Botox and Dysport are prescription medications. We review your health history and current medications before treating, and this page is general information about our services rather than medical advice.
Choosing a product
Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin?
All three are botulinum toxin type A from different manufacturers. They work the same way, and they differ in formulation and how they are measured — which is why nobody should promise you a unit-for-unit comparison. Some guests respond a little more comfortably to one brand than another, and a handful of medical details tip the choice. We carry all three and will tell you which we would start with for your face.
Common questions
What guests ask before booking.
Will I still be able to make faces?
That is the whole point of dosing conservatively. We treat the lines, not the muscle's ability to exist, so you keep your own expressions — you simply stop etching the line into your skin every time you make them.
Does it hurt?
Most guests describe a quick, mild pinch and wonder what they were bracing for. The needles are very fine, the visit is short, and there is no numbing cream required.
When will I see the result?
The softening usually starts between three and seven days, and the full effect is visible about two weeks after your visit. Judging it before then is like judging a cake at ten minutes.
How long does it last?
Three to four months is typical. Some guests — especially at a first appointment — notice it fading a little sooner, and guests who keep a regular rhythm often find each round settles in for longer.
Can I get Botox while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. We do not offer botulinum toxin treatments to guests who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. Please tell us where you are in that journey at your consultation.
Who should mention something before treatment?
Anyone who has ever reacted to a botulinum toxin product, lives with a neuromuscular condition, takes muscle relaxants or blood thinners, or has an active skin infection on the face. Your injector reviews your full history and medications before anything is drawn up.
How much does Botox cost in Marietta?
We do not publish prices, because the honest answer depends on which areas we treat and how much product your face actually needs. At your consultation we tell you exactly what we recommend and what it costs before anything is booked.
