Relax facial muscles and soften wrinkles

BOTOX is a purified protein that temporarily relaxes targeted facial muscles to soften the appearance of lines caused by repetitive movements—like frowning, squinting, or raising your brows. It works by blocking nerve signals that trigger muscle contractions, allowing the skin to smooth and refresh. Most commonly used for frown lines, forehead wrinkles, and crow’s feet, BOTOX is a quick, minimally invasive treatment with no downtime. The results typically appear within a few days and last 3-4 months, helping you look naturally rested—never frozen.

BOTOX treats:

  • Frown lines (11s) between the brows
  • Forehead wrinkles
  • Crow’s feet around the eyes
  • Bunny lines on the nose
  • Lip lines and a gummy smile
  • Downturned corners of the mouth
  • Dimpled chin with creases
  • Neck bands (platysmal bands)

How BOTOX is done

During your BOTOX treatment, your provider will begin by discussing your goals and mapping out the muscles to target. Using a fine needle, they will make a series of precise injections into the treatment areas—typically taking less than 15 minutes.

Most patients describe the sensation as a quick pinch. There’s no downtime, so you can return to your day immediately. Your results will gradually appear over 3-7 days, revealing a smoother, more refreshed look.

Benefits of BOTOX:

  • Softens fine lines and dynamic wrinkles
  • Quick treatment with no downtime
  • Minimally invasive with little to no discomfort
  • Customizable for natural-looking results
  • Prevents deeper wrinkle formation over time
  • Enhances facial symmetry and balance

How long does BOTOX last?

Most people see their BOTOX results last about 3 to 4 months. Over time, your body naturally metabolizes the product, and muscle activity gradually returns. If you stay consistent with treatments, you may notice results lasting longer between visits.

BOTOX FAQs

Does BOTOX hurt?

BOTOX injections are very well-tolerated. Your provider uses an ultra-fine needle, and most people describe the sensation as a tiny pinch. If you’re nervous about discomfort, a topical numbing cream can be applied beforehand to make things even more comfortable.

Will I still be able to make facial expressions?

Yes, when done correctly, BOTOX doesn’t freeze your face. It simply relaxes specific muscles that are contributing to unwanted lines. The goal is always to preserve your natural expressions while softening the harsh lines that make you look tired, tense, or older than you feel.

When will I see the results from BOTOX?

You’ll start to see results gradually within 3 to 5 days after treatment, with the full results typically visible within 7 to 10 days. Your skin will appear smoother and more rested, but you won’t look like a different person—you’ll just look like the best version of yourself.

Is there any downtime after BOTOX?

There’s no required downtime after BOTOX— it’s a “lunchtime treatment.” You can return to your normal activities right after your appointment. You may have some slight redness, swelling, or pinpoint bruising at the injection sites, but this usually fades within a few hours to a day. Just avoid lying down or exercising for about 4 hours post-treatment.
