What is Botox?
Botox is a purified protein that temporarily relaxes targeted facial muscles. By softening muscle movement beneath the skin, Botox smooths the appearance of lines caused by expressions such as frowning, smiling, or squinting. The result is a smoother, more youthful complexion that still looks like you—just more rested and refined.
Common Treatment Areas
Botox is commonly used to reduce the appearance of:
- Frown lines between the eyebrows (the “11” lines)
- Forehead wrinkles
- Crow’s feet around the eyes
- Bunny lines on the nose
- Smile lines and dimpling on the chin
- Neck bands or lines
What to Expect
After a brief consultation to discuss your goals, your dermatologist will use a fine needle to administer small, precise injections into the target areas. Most patients describe the treatment as quick and comfortable, and you can return to your regular activities immediately afterward.
You’ll begin to notice results within a few days, with full effects visible in about one to two weeks. The smoother, refreshed look generally lasts three to four months, and regular treatments can help maintain consistent, natural-looking results over time.
