What is Botox?
Botox is a purified protein derived from Clostridium botulinum that works by temporarily relaxing specific facial muscles. When injected in small, controlled amounts, it blocks nerve signals to the targeted muscles, preventing them from contracting.
Over time, repeated facial movements—like frowning, squinting, or raising your eyebrows—can create lines and wrinkles. By reducing this muscle activity, Botox helps soften existing lines and prevent new ones from forming, giving your face a smoother, more youthful appearance.
Botox is FDA-approved, safe when administered by trained professionals, and widely used for both cosmetic and medical purposes.
What is a treatment session like?
A licensed professional will assess your needs and perform a few quick injections into targeted facial muscles. The treatment takes about 10–20 minutes, with little to no discomfort. You can return to normal activities right after, and results typically appear within a few days—lasting up to 3–4 months.
