Botox is a purified protein that temporarily relaxes the small facial muscles responsible for expression lines — the ones that form frown lines between the brows, horizontal forehead lines, and crow's feet at the corners of the eyes.

A treatment is a series of small injections placed directly into the target muscles. Most patients describe it as a quick pinch per injection site, and the whole appointment is usually done inside twenty minutes.

It doesn't add volume or change facial structure — it softens the muscle movement that creates a line over time. Many patients pair it with filler for areas where volume, not movement, is the concern.
