What is Botox®?
Botox® is a purified protein that temporarily relaxes targeted muscles, smoothing dynamic wrinkles caused by facial expressions. Commonly treated areas include the forehead, frown lines, and crow’s feet. The result? A refreshed and rejuvenated look that still feels like you.
The benefits of Botox®

- Natural-looking results: Enhances your appearance without looking “overdone.”

Quick answers to your questions
What is Botox® made of?
Botox® is a purified protein derived from botulinum toxin, used in small, safe doses to relax targeted muscles.
What is the difference between Botox® and dermal fillers?
Botox® and dermal fillers address different concerns:
- Botox®: Reduces the appearance of dynamic wrinkles caused by facial expressions (e.g., frown lines, crow’s feet) by relaxing targeted muscles. It’s ideal for smoothing lines and preventing wrinkles.
- Dermal fillers: Restore lost volume and enhance facial contours by filling in static wrinkles, folds, or hollow areas (e.g., cheeks, lips, jawline). Fillers are used to plump, lift, and reshape features.
Botox® focuses on muscle relaxation, while fillers focus on volume restoration and contouring. Both can be combined for a more comprehensive rejuvenation.
How long does Botox® last?
Results typically last 3–4 months, depending on the treated area and individual response. Regular treatments can help maintain results.
Does Botox® hurt?
Most patients report minimal discomfort, likened to a small pinprick. A numbing cream can be applied if needed.
Can Botox® be combined with other treatments?
Absolutely! Botox® is often combined with treatments like dermal fillers or skin rejuvenation for comprehensive results.
