Botox in New Hampshire
Want to smooth fine lines or ease tension headaches? At Optimized Health, our expert Botox treatments are customized to help you look and feel your best.
What Is Botox and How Long Does It Take to Work?
Botox is a purified protein derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. It works by gently relaxing targeted muscles, which helps soften fine lines and wrinkles. Most clients start to notice visible improvements within 3 to 5 days, with full effects in about two weeks. This temporary muscle relaxation not only smooths existing lines but also helps prevent new ones from forming.
How Long Does It Last?
Results typically last 3 to 4 months, though this can vary slightly depending on the treatment area, your muscle strength, and how your body metabolizes Botox. Staying consistent helps maintain your results and can even slow the return of deeper lines over time.

What to Expect During Your Botox Appointment
Your comfort and satisfaction are our top priority. Botox sessions at Optimized Health are quick, precise, and performed with the highest level of care.
Who Administers the Treatment?
All injections are performed by a licensed PA-C with 14 years of experience in medical aesthetics. They’ve completed advanced coursework in aesthetic injectables, including Botox and dermal fillers, for both cosmetic and therapeutic use.
Comfort and Care
We use ultra-fine “comfort tox” needles that glide more smoothly. You’re welcome to ice beforehand, though most people find the treatment surprisingly easy.
Session Time
Appointments typically last around 15–20 minutes. You’ll be in and out quickly, with minimal interruption to your day.
Pre-Treatment Guidelines
Proper preparation helps prevent bruising and ensures the best results. Skipping these steps can lead to more swelling, bleeding, or even altered results. Here’s how to get ready:
1–2 weeks before:
- Avoid NSAIDs (aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen)
- Avoid fish oil, vitamin E, ginkgo biloba, garlic, ginseng, and turmeric
24–48 hours before:
- Avoid alcohol
- Stay hydrated and get plenty of rest
Day of treatment:
- Avoid facials, waxing, or microneedling
- Eat a small meal or snack to reduce lightheadedness
Botox Aftercare
Good aftercare helps Botox settle smoothly and do its job effectively. Ignoring these instructions could reduce the effectiveness of your treatment or increase the risk of bruising and swelling.
Avoid for 24 hours:
- Rubbing or massaging the treated area
- Strenuous exercise
- Makeup or skincare over the injection sites
- Alcohol or blood-thinning medications
- Hats, headbands, or tight accessories if the forehead was treated
Also:
- Stay upright for 4 hours after your treatment
- Avoid facials, chemical peels, lasers, or intense heat for 48 hours
Your Botox Maintenance Schedule
To maintain your results, we recommend maintenance treatments every 3 to 4 months. This keeps results fresh and natural-looking. Staying consistent can help reduce the appearance of deeper lines over time and extend the benefits of Botox. We’ll even send appointment reminders so you stay on track without having to think about it.

What Our Clients Say
I’ve been going to Lori Gagne at Optimized Health monthly for almost 9 months, and I couldn’t be happier with the care and service I receive. From the very first visit, Lori made me feel comfortable and well-informed about my treatment. She takes the time to listen, answer all my questions, and ensure everything is tailored to my individual needs. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable, but she genuinely cares about her patients and their success. Optimized Health is professional, welcoming, and efficient—appointments are always smooth and on time. If you’re looking for top-notch care in a supportive and friendly environment, I highly recommend Lori at Optimized Health!
Michelle A
Very nice and clean place I always do my botox there ! Nurse Lori is an excellent professional and she explains everything before procedure. I am very happy with my results. She makes me look beautiful and young again!
Ana Chermont
I highly recommend Optimized Health. Lori is wonderful! I started seeing her in December for help with weight loss and am very happy with my results so far. She is thorough, listens carefully and without judgment and answers all my questions. For the first time in years I am optimistic that I can reach a healthy weight again.
Janet Anderson-Ray
I could not recommend Optimized Health enough! I was in a rut after two babies and really struggling to lose weight. Lori was incredibly patient and knowledgeable. She took the time to answer all our questions and really made me feel excited about the future again. Today there are so many doctors that are more invested in the profits than ensuring that they are recommending what is best for the patient and Lori could not be more opposite. She genuinely cares for the best interest and health of her patients. She really enabled me to start living life again.
Briana Cwalinski
Lori is the best at what she does! She is excellent at helping you achieve your weight loss goals and helped me get my groove back! Book an appointment with her! You won’t regret it! I wish I would have done it sooner! I have never been more motivated in achieving my health goals than I am now.
