BOTOX is an FDA approved injectable that can address the formation of wrinkles that are an inevitable part of the aging process non-surgically. Routine daily actions such as squinting in the sunlight or laughing cause certain facial muscles to contract. Over time, these muscle contractions ultimately create lines and wrinkles on your face.
Unlike dermal fillers, which are used to restore volume, BOTOX directly addresses the cause of these wrinkles by temporarily paralyzing your facial muscles, preventing them from contracting. Within a few days, the wrinkles formed by these muscle contractions will fade, revealing a smoother, more youthful complexion.
BOTOX is typically used to treat:
Wrinkles on the forehead and face
Crow’s feet
Frown lines
Neck creases and wrinkles
Nose “bunny” lines
Lower eyelid wrinkles
What to Expect
The entire treatment usually takes about 15 to 20 minutes. Patients will see the effects begin to take place in as little as one to two days, with continued ongoing improvement for up to 30 days following treatment typically lasting up to four months.
