Botox is the gold standard for diminishing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and facial creases, and is one of the most popular non-surgical treatments available today.
Botox (botulinum toxin type A) temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles.

Botox does not work instantly. Most people begin to notice results within 3 to 5 days, with the full effect visible around 7 to 14 days after treatment. Results typically last three to four months. With regular maintenance, many people find their lines soften over time as the treated muscles are used less.
