Every day we make many different facial movements, which require our muscles to move and contract. Over time, these repeated muscle contractions can lead to lines and wrinkles that appear when you make facial expressions, called dynamic wrinkles, which can make you appear angry or tired when you are not. Botox is an effective treatment option to temporarily smooth these facial wrinkles for a more youthful appearance.

Botox is a non-surgical injectable treatment used to reduce or eliminate fine facial lines or wrinkles. Botox works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals to the targeted muscles, hindering contractions that cause unwanted facial lines.

During your Botox treatment session, your injector will offer topical anesthetic cream to numb the targeted areas for the most comfortable experience. Then, Botox will be injected using a small needle into the muscles of the affected areas. People often describe these injections as feeling like a small pinch. This process is fairly quick, taking about 15-30 minutes to complete depending on the number of areas being treated.
After Botox injections, individuals may experience mild bruising, redness, or itching throughout the treatment site. There is no downtime required, so you can return to your normal activities right away. However, your injector may advise you to avoid exercise or strenuous activity for the next 24 hours to ensure the best possible results. Also be sure not to rub or massage the treated areas, as this may cause the Botox to move to other areas of the face.
Most people can see results within a few days, though it may take 1-2 weeks to see the full effect. Results usually last between 3-5 months before more injections are needed. If you discontinue Botox injections, your lines and wrinkles will return to how they were before you started injections.
For migraines
Migraine symptoms may be able to be helped by relaxing overactive or clenched muscles in the jaw, neck, or face with Botox.
For TMJ
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder can cause pain and other symptoms that Botox can alleviate with precise injections.
For sweating
Excessive sweating can be annoying and embarrassing, but Botox can help. Botox can deactivate overactive sweat glands in the underarms or practically anywhere you experience sweating.
For jowls
With a specific injection site, Botox can be used to help contour the face around the jawline to help reduce the appearance of jowls.
For bruxism
Jaw clenching and tooth grinding (bruxism) can cause damage to the teeth and pain in the jaw and mouth. Botox relaxes clenched muscles with non-invasive injections.
For forehead wrinkles
One of Botox’s satisfying results is eliminating deep folds in the forehead caused by facial muscles creasing the skin.
For gummy smile
If your smile shows too much of your gums, Botox can help by lowering your upper lip, concealing more of your gumline while keeping your smile looking natural.
For crow’s feet
Crinkles around the eyes due to the scrunching of your facial muscles during expressions like smiling and squinting can be smoothed out with a few injections of Botox.
For smile lines
Lines that form around the mouth due to a lifetime of smiling can be relaxed with Botox.
For wrinkles
Botox is a highly satisfying and popular way to get rid of dynamic wrinkles throughout the face with injections that only take a few minutes and that last for many months.
For neck
For some people, hyperextended neck muscles can form bands that many refer to as “turkey neck.” Botox may be able to help relax those muscles and give you a smoother-looking neck contour.
For jawline
Certain muscles and tissues in and around the jawline can become overactive, leading to an unflattering contour. With Botox, these areas can be softened with or without the added help of dermal fillers.
For eyebrow lift
A Botox brow lift is a way to help the outer portion of the eyebrows appear lifted with precise injections in the inner portions of the brow.
For neck pain
People who struggle with chronic neck pain can benefit from a combination of physical therapy and Botox injections to help relax tight muscles in their neck and shoulders.
For frown lines
The frown lines that form between your eyebrows can be all but eliminated with Botox treatments on a regular basis.
For dystonia
One of Botox’s first FDA approvals came for treating cervical dystonia in newborns and infants. Dystonia is an involuntary contraction of muscles similar to a spasm.
For laugh lines
Laugh lines or smile lines form around the mouth with age and thinning skin, but they can be smoothed over with Botox and/or dermal fillers.
