How much does Botox cost in Fort Myers?

Botox at Solace Wellness Aesthetics is $13 per unit. Most areas require 10–30 units depending on muscle strength and desired effect. A typical full-face Botox treatment (forehead, glabellar lines, and crow's feet) averages 30–50 units or $390–$650. Your provider gives a specific unit estimate during consultation.

How long does Botox last?

Botox results typically last 3–4 months before the muscle activity gradually returns. Regular maintenance every 3–4 months is recommended to sustain results. With consistent treatment over time, some clients find they need slightly fewer units as the muscle response diminishes.

Botox injections use very fine needles and the procedure takes 10–20 minutes. Most clients describe the injections as brief pinpricks — tolerable without numbing for most. Ice or topical numbing is available for sensitive clients. There is no significant downtime.

What areas can Botox treat?

Botox treats: forehead horizontal lines, glabellar lines (between the brows — the 11s), crow's feet (lateral eye lines), brow lift, bunny lines (nose), lip flip, chin dimpling, neck bands (platysmal bands), jawline slimming (masseter), and excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis).

Will Botox make me look frozen?

Natural-looking Botox is a technique and dosing decision. Frozen results come from over-dosing or incorrect placement. At Solace, we use conservative dosing — enough to soften dynamic lines while preserving natural movement. You will look rested, not altered.

How quickly does Botox work?

Botox begins to take effect within 3–5 days of injection, with full results visible at 10–14 days. A complimentary 2-week follow-up is recommended for first-time clients to assess results and make any minor adjustments.

What should I avoid before a Botox appointment?

Avoid blood thinners (aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, vitamin E) for 7–10 days before your appointment to minimize bruising. Avoid alcohol 24 hours before. Come with clean skin — no makeup or sunscreen on treatment areas. Do not get Botox if you have an active skin infection or cold sore in the treatment area.

What should I avoid after Botox injections?

After Botox: avoid lying flat for 4 hours, avoid rubbing or massaging the treated areas for 24 hours, avoid strenuous exercise and heat exposure (saunas, hot tubs) for 24 hours, and avoid facials or other skin treatments for 2 weeks. Minor redness at injection sites resolves within a few hours.

What is preventative Botox and what age should I start?

Preventative Botox is starting treatment before deep static lines form — usually in the mid-to-late 20s or early 30s. By relaxing the muscles before repetitive movement etches lines permanently into the dermis, you prevent the very lines that become harder to treat later. Prevention is significantly less expensive than correction.

How is Botox different from fillers?

Botox relaxes muscles to soften dynamic lines (lines caused by movement). Dermal fillers restore volume and fill static lines (lines present at rest). They work differently and are often complementary. Botox is ideal for forehead, 11s, and crow's feet. Fillers are better for nasolabial folds, lips, cheeks, and under-eye hollows.

Can I get Botox the same day I call?

Yes — Solace frequently accommodates same-day and next-day Botox appointments based on availability. Call (239) 323-9549 or book online at solacewellnessaesthetics.com to check current openings. Fort Myers and Cape Coral clients are within easy reach of our location at 12545 New Brittany Blvd.

Is Botox safe for first-time clients?

Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA) has been FDA-approved for aesthetic use since 2002 and has an extensive safety record. At Solace, all injections are performed by licensed providers under medical oversight. A thorough medical history review is completed before every first treatment. Botox is not appropriate during pregnancy or for clients with certain neuromuscular conditions.

What is medical weight loss at Solace in Fort Myers?

Medical weight loss at Solace is a physician-supervised program led by Dr. Flávio, DNP, AACC that combines GLP-1 receptor agonists (semaglutide, tirzepatide) with metabolic peptides, nutritional guidance, and body composition monitoring. It is designed for patients who have not achieved results through diet and exercise alone.

What is semaglutide and how does it work?

Semaglutide (the active ingredient in Ozempic and Wegovy) is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that mimics a gut hormone to regulate appetite, slow gastric emptying, and improve insulin sensitivity. It produces significant and durable weight loss by working on hunger and satiety signaling in the brain, not just willpower.

How much weight can I lose with this program?

Clinical trials show average weight loss of 15-20% of body weight over 68 weeks with semaglutide, and up to 22% with tirzepatide. Individual results depend on starting weight, adherence, and protocol. Dr. Flávio's program pairs GLP-1 therapy with metabolic peptides and nutritional support to maximize and maintain results.

Is the Solace weight loss program only pills or injections?

Our program is a comprehensive metabolic protocol, not just a medication. It includes GLP-1 therapy, metabolic peptides (AOD-9604, CJC-1295/Ipamorelin for those who qualify), functional nutrition guidance, body composition tracking, and integration with Solace aesthetic services like body sculpting for optimal results.

How long does it take to see results with medical weight loss?

Most patients notice appetite suppression within the first 1–2 weeks and measurable weight loss within the first month. The full titration protocol (typically 16–20 weeks) is needed to reach the maintenance dose where maximum results occur. Clinical trials show 15–21% average body weight reduction over 68–72 weeks.
