Smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles
Botox is a trusted cosmetic procedure that involves the injection of botulinum toxin type A, which temporarily relaxes the facial muscles responsible for forming wrinkles. By limiting muscle movement, Botox helps smooth out the skin, reducing the appearance of common wrinkles like crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead lines. This minimally invasive procedure offers visible results with little to no downtime, making it a convenient option for those looking to refresh their appearance without surgery.
Common areas Botox treats:
- Crow’s feet around the eyes
- Frown lines between the eyebrows
- Horizontal forehead wrinkles
- Bunny lines on the nose
- Chin dimpling
- Neck bands and lines
How Botox works
Botox works by blocking the release of acetylcholine, a chemical that signals muscles to contract. By temporarily paralyzing specific facial muscles, Botox smooths out the lines created by repetitive facial movements like squinting, frowning, or raising the eyebrows. Over time, the skin relaxes, giving your face a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance. Typically, Botox effects last between three and six months before the treated muscles regain activity, at which point follow-up treatments are recommended.

What to expect during your Botox treatment
Before your treatment, a consultation with one of our experts will help identify your aesthetic goals and customize your treatment plan. During the procedure, Botox is injected into targeted areas using a fine needle. While you may experience a mild pinch, the process is relatively quick and causes minimal discomfort. Most sessions last between 15 to 30 minutes, allowing you to return to your daily routine immediately afterward.
Recovery and aftercare
Following Botox injections, you might notice minor side effects, such as slight redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites. These effects typically subside within a few days. There’s no downtime involved, but it’s recommended to avoid intense physical activities, direct sunlight, and facial massages for 24-48 hours post-treatment to ensure optimal results.
Onset of results and maintenance
Results from Botox become noticeable within three to seven days as wrinkles gradually smooth out. Maximum results are typically seen within two weeks. Botox’s effects generally last between three and six months, depending on your skin type and the areas treated. For long-lasting results, it’s advisable to schedule follow-up appointments before the effects completely wear off. Regular treatments help maintain a youthful appearance and prevent the deepening of wrinkles over time.
