What is BOTOX®?
BOTOX® treatment utilizes a controlled formula known as botulinum toxin—a solution that’s been used for decades for certain medical conditions like muscle spasms and pain. After being injected in the areas of muscle discomfort, patients can typically expect unconscious muscle movements to be significantly reduced. For aesthetic purposes, the results from BOTOX® can even help minimize the muscle contractions in the face responsible for creating fine lines and wrinkles.
Who Is a Good Candidate for BOTOX®?
In most cases, those who are pregnant or struggle with complications like skin disorders, deep facial scarring, or a neuromuscular disease may not be eligible for BOTOX®. The best way to know if you’re a candidate is by visiting your primary physician and cosmetic professional for a consultation so they can thoroughly assess your overall health. However, you might be eligible for BOTOX® if you’re in your late 20s or older and wish to treat facial imperfections like:
- Crow’s feet
- Smoker’s lines
- Horizontal forehead lines
- Lines at the corners of the mouth
- Lines between the eyebrows
- Muscle spasms

BOTOX® FAQs
Why Is BOTOX® So Popular?

The process is also pain-free and straightforward, and your doctor can personalize your care so that you can reach your specific aesthetic goals. After a day or so, you can start to see a difference in your appearance, and you can enjoy your results for around 6 months before needing touchups!
Do I Need a Consultation Before Getting BOTOX®?
You certainly should visit our team to undergo a consultation about BOTOX treatment before committing to it. This procedure involves using a prescription medication that is only administered by a highly trained medical professional, so you’ll need to discuss your eligibility with them first. It is also legally mandatory that you undergo an initial visit before receiving this treatment. During your consultation, we will talk about your medical history and unique goals for BOTOX, assess your facial muscle movement and skin, go over any potential side effects, and provide aftercare instructions. Once we’ve walked you through everything you need to know and we determine that you’re a good candidate for this treatment, you can typically schedule your procedure on the same day or week.
Does BOTOX® Remove Wrinkles?
BOTOX treatment is designed to block signals from the nerves to the muscles. Since the affected muscle won’t be able to contract afterward, it’ll cause any wrinkles to soften and relax, effectively getting rid of them in your appearance. This can work for a variety of issues, such as frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines, but it won’t address wrinkles created due to sun damage or gravity. Also, it’s important to know how fine lines develop. “Dynamic wrinkles” are a result of muscle movement, such as smiling, squinting, or laughing, which can be treated with BOTOX. “Static wrinkles” are caused by loss of collagen and elasticity or damage from the sun or smoking tobacco. In these cases, dermal fillers may be more effective for treating the situation instead of BOTOX.
At What Age Is BOTOX® Most Effective?
BOTOX is considered a preventive treatment; the sooner you get it, the better the chances of avoiding wrinkles and fine lines. If you’re highly expressive, many dermatologists recommend receiving this procedure in the mid-twenties. Those who are in their thirties might undergo this treatment to keep any noticeable wrinkles or fine lines from deepening. That said, around 60% of BOTOX users are between 40-54, as this is the age when deeper lines around the eyes and lips become deep-set. Even if you start this treatment in your sixties, you’ll be able to see a fresher and more rejuvenated look to your skin.
