Smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles
Botox is a popular cosmetic treatment that uses botulinum toxin type A to temporarily relax the muscles that cause facial wrinkles. By reducing muscle movement, Botox softens the appearance of lines and wrinkles, such as crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead wrinkles. This minimally invasive treatment provides visible results without the need for surgery, making it an ideal option for those seeking a refreshed look with minimal downtime.

- Crow’s feet around the eyes
- Frown lines between the eyebrows
- Horizontal forehead wrinkles

How Botox works
Botox works by inhibiting the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter signaling muscles to contract. By temporarily relaxing targeted facial muscles, Botox reduces the appearance of wrinkles caused by repetitive facial expressions like frowning, squinting, or raising your eyebrows. As the muscles relax, the skin smooths out, giving the face a more youthful and refreshed look. Botox typically lasts between three to six months, after which the muscle activity gradually returns, and follow-up treatments are recommended.

What to Expect During Your Botox Treatment
Before your treatment, you’ll have a consultation with one of our specialists to discuss your goals and develop a personalized treatment plan. Botox is administered using a fine needle to target specific facial muscles. While you may feel a small pinch, the procedure is generally quick and causes little to no discomfort. Most sessions last 15 to 30 minutes, allowing you to resume your regular activities immediately after the treatment.
Recovery and Aftercare
After your Botox injections, you may experience mild side effects, such as slight redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites. These effects typically fade within a few days. While there is no downtime, it’s best to avoid strenuous activities, direct sun exposure, and facial massages for the first 24-48 hours to ensure optimal results.
Onset of Results and Maintenance
You’ll start to see the effects of Botox within three to seven days, as wrinkles gradually fade. Full results typically appear within two weeks. Botox treatments generally last between three and six months, depending on the individual and treatment areas. To maintain a youthful look, follow-up treatments are recommended before the effects wear off entirely. Regular sessions can help preserve smooth skin and prevent deep wrinkles from forming over time.
