What Is It?
Botox (botulinum toxin type A) is an injectable neuromodulator that temporarily relaxes overactive muscles to soften dynamic wrinkles — lines formed by repetitive facial expressions such as frowning, squinting, or raising the brows. Common treatment areas include the forehead, frown lines between the brows, and crow's feet.
How It Works
A tiny amount of botulinum toxin is injected directly into targeted muscles using a very fine needle. The toxin blocks the nerve signals that cause muscle contraction, causing the muscle to relax. Results begin appearing in 3–7 days and reach full effect at 2 weeks.
Realistic Results
Significant smoothing of dynamic wrinkles with a natural, refreshed appearance. Results last 3–4 months on average, after which the muscle gradually regains movement and treatment can be repeated. Regular treatment over time may train muscles to contract less forcefully.
Recovery
No downtime required. Mild redness or swelling at injection sites resolves within hours. Patients should avoid lying down, strenuous exercise, and rubbing the treated area for 4 hours post-treatment.

- !Headache on the day of treatment
