How Does BOTOX Work?

​

BOTOX is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that temporarily reduces the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead wrinkles. It works by relaxing targeted facial muscles, preventing the repetitive movements that cause wrinkles over time.

​

What to Expect from Your BOTOX Treatment

 

Before Your Treatment:

During your consultation, be sure to discuss your medical history, medications, and any conditions such as:

✔ Neuromuscular disorders

✔ Forehead muscle weakness

✔ Allergies to botulinum toxin

✔ Breathing or swallowing issues

✔ Recent facial surgery or infections

✔ Pregnancy or breastfeeding status

 

During Your Appointment:

✔ The procedure takes approximately 20-30 minutes.

✔ Your provider may use ice or a numbing agent to enhance comfort and minimize bruising.

✔ A series of small injections will be administered to the targeted areas.

 

After Your Treatment:

✔ Results begin to appear within 3-4 days and continue improving over two weeks.

✔ Effects typically last 3-4 months, though individual results may vary.

✔ Mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site is normal and should subside quickly.
