What Is Botulinum Toxin A?
Botox® is a purified protein derived from botulinum toxin that temporarily relaxes muscles responsible for fine lines and wrinkles. It’s FDA-approved and widely used for both cosmetic and medical purposes.
How Does It Work?
Botox works by blocking nerve signals to the targeted muscles, reducing their activity. This helps smooth dynamic wrinkles caused by facial movements like frowning or squinting.
Common Treatment Areas
Botulinum toxin is commonly used to treat:
- Forehead lines
- Frown lines (between the eyebrows)
- Crow’s feet (around the eyes)
- Bunny lines (nose wrinkles)
- Lip flip
- Jawline contouring (masseter muscles)
- Neck bands
Platysma Bands
FDA approved to temporarily improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet, forehead lines, and platysma bands in adults. Natural looking results.
Lip Flip – Your lips, but better
Achieve subtly enhanced lips without fillers.
- A lip flip is a great option for people who want a subtle enhancement to their lips.
- It won’t make your lips look dramatically different, but it can give them a fuller, more pouty appearance.
