Botox® Injections

Botox is a popular, FDA-approved cosmetic treatment designed to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by temporarily relaxing targeted facial muscles. This non-surgical procedure is especially effective for areas prone to wrinkles from repeated facial expressions, such as crow’s feet around the eyes, forehead lines, and frown lines between the eyebrows. Results from Botox injections typically appear within a few days and last for several months, offering a refreshed and more youthful appearance.

At our clinic, all Botox treatments are performed by board-certified dermatologists. This ensures that each procedure is safe, precise, and tailored to your unique facial structure and aesthetic goals. With the expertise of our dermatologists, you can feel confident that your treatment is handled with the highest standard of care.

How is Botox® used?

A few drops of Botox® are injected with a tiny needle into the muscle that creates a wrinkle. When Botox® is injected into a muscle, it blocks the nerve impulse from reaching that area and, as a result, the muscle relaxes..

When Botox® is injected, there is a minor stinging for a few seconds. Once the injection is complete, there is usually no discomfort.
