How Botox Works
Botox® is a purified neurotoxin that temporarily relaxes targeted facial muscles, smoothing the wrinkles caused by repeated expressions such as frowning, smiling, or squinting. By focusing on specific muscles, Botox allows other facial muscles to remain fully functional, ensuring a natural, balanced look.
What Botox Treats
Botox can effectively address:
- Crow's feet around the eyes
- Horizontal forehead lines
- Frown lines between the brows
Most people experiencing early to moderate signs of aging in the upper face are ideal candidates. Botox is not recommended for individuals who are pregnant or have certain neurological conditions.
The Treatment Experience
- Your provider will review your medical history and assess your facial structure to create a personalized plan.
- Using an ultra-fine needle, Botox is injected into precise areas — typically 4–10 small injections depending on your treatment goals.
- Mild redness or swelling may occur but typically fades quickly; makeup can be applied immediately.
- Treatments are quick, allowing you to resume normal daily activities immediately.
Results & Longevity
- Initial results appear within 24–48 hours, with full effects visible in up to 14 days.
- Results typically last up to four months, after which follow-up treatments can maintain your smoother, youthful appearance.
