What Is Botox?
Botox® (onabotulinumtoxinA) is derived from Clostridium botulinum and is used in aesthetics to temporarily relax specific facial muscles that create dynamic wrinkles, such as lines that appear with expression. By reducing muscle contraction in targeted areas, the overlying skin can appear smoother and more refreshed.
Botox is considered a minimally invasive, in-office procedure performed using small injections. Treatment is customized based on facial anatomy, muscle strength, and your goals.

What Areas Can Botox Treat?
Botox is commonly used to address multiple cosmetic concerns, including:
- Forehead lines: Softens horizontal lines across the forehead.
- Crow’s feet: Reduces lines at the outer corners of the eyes.
- Frown lines (glabellar “11s”): Softens vertical lines between the eyebrows.
- Bunny lines: Reduces lines along the sides of the nose.
- Lip lines and gummy smile: May help soften upper lip lines and reduce gum show (when appropriate).
- Neck bands (platysmal bands): May improve the look of vertical neck bands.
If you’re unsure which areas are best for your goals, a consultation helps map the right plan.
