What is Botox?

Botox® is a purified protein that, when injected into targeted facial muscles, reduces their activity. These injections help diminish the appearance of expression lines such as crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines (also known as “11s”) between the eyebrows.

How Does Botox® Work?

When injected, Botox® temporarily blocks the nerve signals to the treated muscles. This leads to a reduction in muscle movement and allows the skin above to smooth out. With time, consistent treatments can also help prevent new wrinkles from forming. Treatment results usually last 3-4 months. We recommend quarterly treatments to our patients to help maintain their glowing, youthful appearance.

What Can We Treat?

• Crow’s Feet: These fine lines around the eyes develop from squinting and smiling. Botox® softens these lines, creating a more open, refreshed look.
• Forehead Lines: Whether from raising your eyebrows or expressing surprise, horizontal lines on the forehead can make you appear older. Botox® helps smooth these lines, giving you a relaxed and youthful appearance.
• Frown Lines: The vertical lines between the brows can make you look tired or upset. Botox® reduces their visibility, restoring a calm and relaxed expression.
