What does BOTOX treat and how long does it last?

BOTOX® is an FDA-approved injectable that relaxes the facial muscles responsible for forehead lines, frown lines, and crow's feet, while leaving untreated muscles free to move normally. Treatment is a quick in-office injection with no anesthesia and no downtime, and results typically last 3 to 4 months before a touch-up is needed.

BOTOX® is an FDA-approved injectable that addresses some of the most common signs of facial aging: forehead lines, frown lines between the brows, and crow's feet around the eyes.

How It Works

BOTOX works by blocking the nerve impulses that tell targeted facial muscles to contract. The product relaxes only the treated muscles, so the rest of your expression stays natural. A treatment session involves a series of small injections with a fine needle — most patients compare the sensation to a tiny bug bite — and no anesthesia is needed. You can return to your normal routine immediately afterward.

Results and Longevity

A single treatment typically lasts 3 to 4 months, though this varies from patient to patient. Many patients return for maintenance appointments to keep results consistent year-round.

Beyond Wrinkles

BOTOX isn't only cosmetic. It's also used to treat hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) and chronic migraine headaches. For underarm sweating specifically, BOTOX shuts off the nerve signals to sweat glands, with effects lasting approximately six months.
