WHAT IS BOTOX?
Botox is a purified protein derived from botulinum toxin type A that is used to temporarily relax specific facial muscles. When strategically injected in small, controlled amounts, Botox softens the appearance of fine lines and dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated facial expressions.
It is one of the most popular and well-studied cosmetic treatments worldwide for achieving a smoother, refreshed, and more youthful appearance — without surgery or downtime.
HOW BOTOX WORKS
Wrinkles such as frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet form from repeated muscle movement over time. Botox works by gently blocking the nerve signals that cause these muscles to contract.
When the muscles relax:
- Dynamic wrinkles soften
- Skin appears smoother
- New lines are prevented from deepening
- Facial expressions remain natural when properly administered
Results look refreshed — not frozen — when performed by a skilled provider.
WHAT CAN BOTOX TREAT?
Botox is commonly used to improve:
- Forehead lines
- Frown lines (11 lines between the brows)
- Crow’s feet
- Bunny lines (nose wrinkles)
- Lip flip (subtle upper lip enhancement)
- Chin dimpling
- Jawline slimming (masseter treatment)
- Neck bands
It can also be used preventatively to slow wrinkle formation.
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING TREATMENT
Treatment is quick and convenient, typically taking 10–20 minutes.
- A consultation is performed to assess facial anatomy and goals
- A fine needle is used to administer small, precise injections
- Discomfort is minimal and brief
- No anesthesia is required
Most clients return to normal activities immediately after their appointment.
RECOVERY & RESULTS
- Mild redness or slight swelling at injection sites may occur
- Results begin to appear within 3–5 days
- Full results are visible at 10–14 day
- Results typically last 3–4 months
With consistent treatments, muscles can become trained to contract less aggressively, often extending results over time.
WHO IS NOT A CANDIDATE?
Botox may not be suitable for individuals who:
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Have certain neurological conditions
- Have active infection at the injection site
- Have allergies to botulinum toxin products
A consultation is essential to ensure Botox is safe and appropriate for you.
Preparing for your appointment
Avoid blood thinners
Refrain from taking aspirin, NSAIDS, or any other blood-thinning medications for at least a week before treatment to reduce the risk of bruising. Consult with your healthcare provider before stopping any medication.
Avoid alcohol
Avoid consuming alcohol for 24 hours prior to your appointment, as alcohol can increase the risk of bruising.
Stay hydrated
Drink plenty of water leading up to your treatment for optimal skin hydration.
