Botox (botulinum toxin) is a minimally invasive injectable treatment that temporarily reduces or eliminates the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Botox works by relaxing the muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles, particularly around the forehead, eyes (crow’s feet), and mouth. It prevents these muscles from contracting, giving the skin a smoother, rejuvenated appearance. It is also used in preventative aging for younger patients who wish to maintain a youthful look.
The treatment typically takes 15-30 minutes and involves injecting Botox into specific facial muscles using a fine needle. Results begin to appear within 3-7 days, with full e ects visible in 1-2 weeks. The treatment lasts for 3-4 months before requiring a touch-up.
