Botox is a purified protein derived from Botulinum toxin. It works by temporarily relaxing specific muscles, which helps reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles (those caused by facial expressions like frowning or squinting). By relaxing the targeted muscles, Botox smooths out fine lines and gives your skin a refreshed, youthful appearance.

The effects of Botox typically last between 3 to 6 months. Over time, as the muscle activity gradually returns, you may start to notice your wrinkles reappearing. Regular treatments can help maintain your results and may even improve the longevity of the effects.

Yes, Botox is FDA-approved and considered safe when administered by a trained and qualified professional. Botox has been used for over 20 years in both medical and cosmetic treatments, and when performed correctly, side effects are rare.

Most people begin to see results within 3-5 days after their Botox treatment, with full effects visible in about 2 weeks. This is why we do a free 2 week review to see how your results are. *A review after 2 weeks is an additional cost*

No significant downtime is required after Botox. You may experience slight redness, bumps or bruising at the injection site, but these usually subside quickly. It’s recommended to avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, and lying down for the first 4 hours after your treatment, but most people can resume normal activities immediately.

Yes! Botox is a highly versatile treatment that can be used for a variety of cosmetic and medical purposes beyond just reducing wrinkles. Here are some of the popular uses:

• Jawline Slimming: By relaxing the chewing muscles (masseters), Botox can create a more contoured jawline and reduce the appearance of a square or bulky jaw, this can also help reduce jaw clenching and teeth grinding by relaxing the masseter muscles, alleviating pain in the jaw and surrounding areas.

• Gummy Smile: Botox can relax the muscles around the upper lip, reducing excessive gum exposure when smiling for a more balanced smile.

• Pixie Lift: Botox can lift the tip of the nose to create a subtle "pixie" or upward lift without the need for surgery.

• Brow Lift: Botox is often used to lift the eyebrows, creating a more open, youthful look.

• Bunny Lines: Botox can smooth the lines that appear when you scrunch your nose (often called "bunny lines").

• Downturned Smile: Botox can relax the muscles around the corners of your mouth to give you a more lifted, neutral smile.

• Pebble Chin: Botox can smooth out the dimpled appearance in the chin (often called "orange peel" texture) caused by overactive chin muscles.

• Lip Flip: A subtle Botox treatment on the upper lip can create a gentle "flip" that enhances the shape and volume of the lips without filler.

Masseter Botox is the use of Botox injections in the masseter muscles, which are the large muscles at the back of your jaw that are responsible for chewing. Botox relaxes these muscles temporarily, which can help with cosmetic jawline slimming and medical issues like teeth grinding or jaw clenching (bruxism). This treatment also pairs perfectly with chin filler for a snatched look.

if the frown lines are treated without also addressing the forehead area, the forehead muscles may contract more forcefully, which can pull the brows down and lead to droopy or uneven brows.
