Botox® is injected into specific facial muscles using a small, fine needle. This causes the targeted muscle to relax, which softens lines and contours. Botox can be injected into the forehead for forehead lines, into the frown to reduce frowning as well as to create an open-eyed appearance; and Botox can be injected around the eyes to soften crow’s feet and to lift the lateral eyebrows. Excessive perspiration (Hyperhidrosis) can be treated with Botox.

How long does the treatment take?
Your specialist will discuss your treatment goals and perform a facial analysis to determine the appropriate treatments for you. The actual injection process takes about 10 minutes.
