Botox Simulator
See forehead, glabella and crow's feet lines rendered on your own face. One photo, one render — before you sit in a consultation room deciding from a verbal description.
Botox before and after — a simulated example
This is the same model that will run on your photo, applied to someone else's. It is here so you can see what the output looks like before spending anything — the framing, the level of change, and how much of the rest of the face it leaves alone.
Before
After — simulatedWhat a botox actually does
Botulinum toxin injected into specific muscles to reduce their contraction, softening the lines those muscles create. The common upper-face targets are the forehead, the frown lines between the brows, and the crow's feet at the outer eyes.
Which measurement points to a botox
No measurement on this site reads dynamic lines, because they are an expression rather than a proportion. What the symmetry test can show is a resting asymmetry, which is a different thing and sometimes a reason to treat one side differently.
How long a botox lasts, and what it costs
How long it lasts
Three to four months typically, shortening slightly with repeated treatment in some people.
Typical cost
Roughly $200–$600 per area in the United States, often priced per unit.
These are ranges commonly quoted in the United States, collected for orientation. They are not a quote and not a recommendation — price varies with surgeon, city, technique and what else is done at the same time, and the cheapest option in a medical procedure is rarely the relevant number.
What people get wrong about a botox
That it fills lines. It relaxes the muscle that creates them, so lines from movement soften while lines already etched into the skin at rest do not. That distinction explains most disappointment with the treatment.
How to read botox before and after photos
Ask for photographs with the muscle active — frowning or raising the brows — in both frames. A relaxed-face comparison shows almost nothing, which is why the flattering ones are usually taken that way.
Botox recovery — what is typically reported
No downtime. Small injection marks fade within an hour, occasional bruising. Effect starts in a few days and peaks at about two weeks.
Recovery varies with technique, extent and the individual. This is a summary of what is commonly reported, not what will happen to you, and your surgeon's figures are the ones that apply.
Three questions to ask before a botox
A render is most useful as something to take into a consultation. These are the questions specific to this procedure that are worth asking while you are there.
- 1How many units, in which muscles, and what is each one doing?
- 2What is your plan if one side responds more than the other?
- 3Am I better starting conservatively and adding at two weeks?
What this botox simulation cannot show
The render smooths lines in a still photograph. Botulinum toxin acts on movement, so the thing it changes most is what your face does — which no still image contains.
Alternatives to a botox
How the botox simulation works
Your photo is analysed for the landmarks that matter to this procedure, and the render changes forehead, glabella and crow's feet lines while leaving the rest of your face alone. That constraint is the hard part — a generic image model will happily redraw your whole face and hand you a stranger who looks better.
What a simulation is, and what it is not
It is an illustration of a plausible direction. It is not a prediction of your result, not a medical opinion, and not a substitute for a consultation. Your anatomy, your surgeon's technique and how you heal decide the actual outcome, and none of those are visible in a photograph.
What it is genuinely good for: finding out whether you even want the change. A large share of people who render one discover the difference is smaller than they had been imagining, and stop there. That is a useful outcome.
Start from a measurement, not a guess
The free analysis tools measure symmetry, facial proportion and face shape, and tell you which measurements sit outside the reference range. Choosing a procedure from that is a much better starting point than choosing one from a photo you saved.
Botox simulator — frequently asked questions
Does botox stop working over time?
Some people develop reduced response, and antibody formation is documented though uncommon at cosmetic doses. Longer intervals and lower doses are what practitioners cite in response.
Can I have it if I have never had it before and want to test it?
A small dose in one area is the usual way to start. It wears off, which makes it one of the few procedures on this site that is genuinely a trial rather than a commitment.
Does botox work on static lines?
Less well. Lines that are visible at rest have a skin component that relaxing the muscle does not remove, which is why resurfacing or filler is often discussed alongside.
How soon does it work?
Onset is typically a few days with the full effect by about two weeks.
Is it permanent?
No. The effect wears off as nerve endings recover, which is also why it is one of the lower-commitment options in this list.
Is the botox simulator free?
The face analysis is free and needs no account. A rendered simulation costs credits because it runs on a GPU — $4.99 buys five and does not require a subscription.
How accurate is an AI botox simulation?
It is an illustration of a plausible outcome, not a prediction of your result. Real outcomes depend on your anatomy, the surgeon and healing. Treat it as a conversation starter for a consultation, not a promise.
Do you keep my photo?
The free measurements never leave your browser. A simulation does send the photo to a rendering service, which is why it asks for explicit consent first, and you can delete the result from your dashboard at any time.
Can I show this to a surgeon?
Yes, and that is the most useful thing to do with it. Bringing a picture of the direction you want is far more precise than describing it in words.
Other skin simulations
This page is not medical advice and we are not clinicians. A simulation cannot tell you whether a procedure is appropriate for you, what it costs, or what the risks are. Those questions belong with a qualified surgeon.
