What is Botox?
Botox, or botulinum toxin, is a purified protein that works by temporarily relaxing specific muscles to soften and smooth wrinkles and lines. It’s a minimally invasive treatment that can be used for both cosmetic enhancements and therapeutic purposes. With no surgery and minimal downtime, Botox is a safe and effective way to improve your appearance and confidence.
While Botox is the name most commonly used for Botulin Toxin, there may be times when we suggest an alternative such as Xeomin or Dysport.
How Botox Works

Injecting Botox into the wrinkle-causing muscle results in temporary paralysis, effectively minimizing the visibility of wrinkles.
Step 2
Reducing the appearance of wrinkles, especially dynamic wrinkles that manifest the muscles contract for more pronounced and noticeable results.
Step 3
By blocking nerve impulses, Botox helps relax the contracted muscles, leading to a softening and relaxing of the wrinkles.
