Botox®
Botox® is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment that reduces wrinkles and fine lines. These injectable treatments use purified neurotoxins, such as botulinum toxin type A and incobotulinumtoxin, to temporarily relax targeted muscles. By inhibiting muscle contractions that cause wrinkles, these treatments result in smoother, younger-looking skin. Common treatment areas include forehead lines, crow’s feet around the eyes, and frown lines between the eyebrows.
These treatments are ideal for adults looking to minimize visible signs of aging without surgery. Results typically appear within 3-7 days after treatment, with full effects visible in about two weeks. The effects generally last 3-4 months, though individual results may vary.
