Frequently asked questions about using Botox injections for facial wrinkles
Drs. Lisa Ohman Erhard and Mark Erhard of LAK MedSpa in Wayzata, Minnesota, are doctors who are readily available to help men and women treat the signs of aging. This includes facial wrinkles and folds. Many of our patients will benefit from Botox injections for face wrinkles and imperfections with our specialists. Under the care and attention of our experienced team, you can feel confident in the final results of your facial rejuvenation services–whether you choose Botox or other injectable treatments available at our state-of-the-art medical spa. Below are a few frequently asked questions about using Botox injections for facial wrinkles and lines.
How does Botox work to address the unwanted signs of aging?
Botox works by temporarily paralyzing the specific muscles responsible for causing wrinkles and fine lines. It blocks the nerve signals that tell these muscles to contract, thereby smoothing out the skin and reducing the appearance of wrinkles. Drs. Lisa Ohman Erhard and Mark Erhard of LAK MedSpa believe in providing this and other solutions for patients seeking nonsurgical ways to address fine lines, wrinkles, and facial folds.
Is Botox safe?
Yes! Botox is considered a safe treatment when administered by a licensed and trained medical professional just like our team at LAK MedSpa. However, there are potential side effects that may occur, such as bruising, pain at injection site, headache, and temporary drooping of eyelids. Be sure to discuss any concerns with our doctors before undergoing treatment.

What can I expect during my upcoming Botox injection appointment?
During your Botox injection appointment at LAK MedSpa, our doctors first evaluate your desired treatment areas and create a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. They then use a small needle to inject the Botox into targeted muscles, which might cause a slight pinching sensation. The entire process usually requires about 10-15 minutes, and you can return to your daily activities immediately after.
How long does Botox last?
Results from Botox injections last anywhere from three to six months, depending on individual factors such as metabolism and muscle strength. Maintenance treatments are recommended every few months to maintain optimal results.
Can I combine Botox with other cosmetic procedures?
Absolutely! In fact, Drs. Lisa Ohman Erhard and Mark Erhard offer a wide range of solutions for patients in the Wayzata, Minnesota, area who are seeking ways to enhance their appearance and turn back the signs of aging. When you consult with them at their office, located at 1120 Wayzata Boulevard East, Suite 100, you will find out about other treatments that may be used alongside Botox for the best possible results, including chemical peels, laser therapies, and even hyaluronic acid dermal fillers.

It really has changed my life because I felt like the dermatologist always said, you have to keep waiting it out. And it was so hard to wait it out. I never went to bed worrying, you know, that I’d have, you know, something go on with my skin the next day before a client meeting or something really important in my life or before a major event going on. And so I just think that coming to Wayzata Skin Care really made a huge impact in my professional life, in my career. Just knowing that everything with my skin was going to be consistent and reliable has really brought such a calm peace of mind. And I’m really appreciative of that.

I had tried diet and exercise for weight loss. My mood just didn’t seem right. I know myself, and I just feel like my health could be more optimal and one of the things that I had not investigated yet was hormone balancing. So once you decide you’re going to pursue that, it’s like, where do you go? Because I feel like there’s a lot of places doing it, probably not doing it well and I knew I wanted to go to a female provider because it’s just a different kind of care, woman to woman, which led me to finding Wayzata Cosmetic Surgery and Spa.
