How Botox Works
Botox works by gently relaxing the facial muscles that cause lines and wrinkles to form from repeated expressions like frowning or squinting. Once injected into targeted areas, it temporarily blocks nerve signals to those muscles, allowing the overlying skin to smooth out and appear more relaxed.
The result is a softer, more refreshed look that still allows you to express yourself naturally. Most people start to see results within a few days, with the full effect appearing after about two weeks. Botox is not a permanent treatment and requires maintenance throughout the year. Most patients will have results that last 3 months.
In addition to facial wrinkle relaxing Botox can be also be used to help ease TMJ issues and is effective for temporarily treating Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating)

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do Botox results last?
Results typically last three to four months, depending on your metabolism, muscle activity, and the area treated.
Regular maintenance sessions can help extend your results and keep your skin looking smooth and refreshed year-round.
Will my face look frozen or unnatural?
No. When performed by an experienced injector, Botox should look completely natural. The goal is to relax specific muscles just enough to soften lines while preserving your normal facial expressions.
How soon will I see results?
You may begin to notice subtle changes within a few days, with smoother, more refined skin appearing after about one to two weeks. Results continue to improve as the muscles fully relax, revealing a more youthful, rested look.
