What is Botox®?

Botox is an FDA-approved injectable used to improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines. Repeated facial muscle contractions can cause lines and wrinkles to become present and are more significant as we age. Botox works to relax the muscle movement of the muscle injected. Therefore, when you smile, frown, squint, or raise your eyebrows by contracting the facial muscles, Botox temporarily reduces the muscle movement, allowing the lines to soften and become less noticeable.

What areas is Botox typically used for?

  • Forehead
  • Crow’s Feet
  • Glabellar Lines

Treatment

If you are experiencing unwanted lines or wrinkles on your forehead or around your eyes, Botox is the answer. Our skilled cosmetic injector will evaluate the area and severity of the lines to determine the best course of treatment, as well as the amount of Botox needed to provide optimal results. A Botox treatment takes only minutes and is virtually painless. After being treated with Botox, patients typically begin seeing results within 7 days, and those results can last 3-4 months. Routine Botox treatments will provide you with subtle and improved results, leaving you looking and feeling like your best self.
