What Is BOTOX®?
BOTOX® Cosmetic is an FDA-approved prescription injectable treatment used to temporarily improve the appearance of certain facial lines and wrinkles caused by repeated muscle movement.
Expressions like smiling, squinting, frowning, and raising the eyebrows cause facial muscles to contract. Over time, these repeated movements can make lines more noticeable. BOTOX® works by temporarily reducing activity in targeted muscles, helping soften the appearance of expression lines while maintaining a natural, refreshed look.
Areas We Treat With BOTOX®
Every BOTOX® treatment is customized based on your facial anatomy, natural movement, and aesthetic goals. Common treatment areas include:
Forehead Lines: Softens horizontal lines that appear across the forehead when raising the eyebrows.
Frown Lines (11s): Reduces the appearance of vertical lines between the eyebrows.
Crow’s Feet: Softens fine lines around the outer corners of the eyes.
Lip Flip: A small amount of BOTOX® can be used to gently relax the muscle around the upper lip, allowing more of the lip to show without adding volume. This is an off-label use.
Masseter Muscle: BOTOX® may be used off-label in the masseter muscles to reduce the appearance of a prominent or wider jawline in appropriately selected patients.
Neck & Platysma Bands: BOTOX® Cosmetic may be used to soften the appearance of vertical neck bands and create a smoother-looking transition between the neck and jawline.
Excessive Underarm Sweating: BOTOX® may also be used therapeutically to treat severe primary underarm sweating when topical treatments have not provided adequate relief.
