BOTOX Treatment in Woodbury, MN
Placeholder

You drank your water, got eight hours of sleep, and feel perfectly energized. Yet, a glance in the rearview mirror or a Zoom reflection shows a face that looks stressed, tired, or even angry. That disconnect between your internal energy and your external expression is the most common reason our patients in Woodbury choose Botox.
We don't view this treatment as "freezing" your face or erasing your history. We view it as a way to turn down the volume on overactive muscles so your exterior matches the calm, confident person you are on the inside.
Botox Cosmetic is an FDA-approved neuromodulator that temporarily relaxes specific facial muscles to soften existing wrinkles and prevent new ones from forming. It works by blocking the nerve signals that tell muscles to contract, allowing the overlying skin to smooth out.

Many people associate Botox strictly with the forehead, but we use it strategically across the face to balance muscle movement. It’s not just about stopping wrinkles; it’s about adjusting how light hits the face and opening up your features.
Beyond the obvious aesthetic smoothing, consistent treatments offer benefits that compound over time.
Most adults in good health who want to refresh their appearance are great candidates. However, safety is our baseline at Petal + Stem. We will likely disqualify you or ask you to wait if:
We know needles can be intimidating. We don't sugarcoat it, but we do make it manageable.
You will feel a pinch. Most patients describe it as comparable to a quick bug bite or a fingernail press. It is not a lingering pain. The needle we use is incredibly fine—much smaller than what you see at a doctor's office for a flu shot.
We take our time mapping out your face before we start. We may ask you to make silly faces—frown, raise your brows, smile huge—so we can see exactly how your unique muscles pull and move. This ensures we place the product precisely where your anatomy needs it, not just where a textbook says it should be.
We call this a "lunch break" procedure because the downtime is minimal. You can likely go back to work or out to dinner right after, provided you follow a few simple rules.
The Immediate Aftermath
You might see small, mosquito-bite-like bumps at the injection sites. These typically vanish within 20 to 30 minutes. Bruising is possible but rare; avoiding alcohol and blood thinners (like ibuprofen) 24 hours before your appointment helps reduce this risk.
The "Rules":
Patience is key here. You will not look different when you leave the chair.
Pricing for Botox is determined by the number of units used. We do not offer a "flat rate" for facial areas because no two foreheads are the same. One patient may need 20 units for a smooth result, while another with stronger muscles may need 40.
During your consultation, we will give you an exact quote based on your muscle strength and aesthetic goals. We also accept Cherry Financing to make maintaining your results easier on your budget.
Adam, one of our patients, said it best: "I don't want to look like I've had something done. I just want to look like the best version of myself."
That is our philosophy. We aren't here to give you a generic "Botox face." We are students of anatomy who understand that preserving your unique expressions is vital. Whether you are a busy parent in Woodbury, a professional commuting to the Twin Cities, or someone who just wants to look less tired, we build the treatment plan around you. We listen first, map second, and inject with an artist's precision.
Let’s create a plan that fits your face and your lifestyle. Call us at (612) 615-STEM to schedule your consultation or book online today.
Not here. The "frozen" look usually comes from over-treating or poor placement. Our goal is a natural reduction in movement. You will still look like you, just more rested.
They are all safe, FDA-approved neuromodulators. Think of them like Coke and Pepsi—different formulations of a similar product. We choose the brand that best suits your specific anatomy and desired longevity.
There is no "right" age. Some patients start in their mid-20s for prevention, while others wait until their 40s or 50s. If you find that your makeup is settling into lines or you have wrinkles that stick around even when you aren't making a face, it might be time to chat.
The sensation is the same, but men often have stronger facial muscles and higher distinct hairlines, meaning they typically require a higher dosage (more units) to achieve the same smoothing effect as women.
Absolutely. We often combine them for full facial rejuvenation. Botox relaxes the muscles, while fillers restore lost volume. We can discuss a holistic plan during your consultation.
