Botox (Anti-Wrinkle Injections)
Softening dynamic wrinkles by relaxing targeted muscles
Overview
Botox (botulinum toxin) temporarily relaxes targeted facial muscles, softening the dynamic wrinkles they create — commonly used on forehead lines, frown lines, and crow's feet.
It's also used for the masseter muscle to slim a square jawline, and for various other functional and cosmetic applications.
Candidacy
Is Botox (Anti-Wrinkle Injections) Right for You?
- Dynamic wrinkles (lines that appear with expression) on the forehead, between the brows, or around the eyes
- Wanting a softer, less "square" jawline via masseter treatment
- Realistic expectations that results are temporary and require maintenance
- No underlying neuromuscular conditions that would contraindicate treatment

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Botox actually made of?
Botox is a purified form of botulinum toxin that temporarily blocks nerve signals to targeted muscles, causing them to relax.
How long does it last?
Typically 3-4 months, after which muscle activity gradually returns and treatment can be repeated if desired.
Can Botox slim the jawline?
Yes — injecting the masseter (chewing) muscle can reduce its bulk over repeated treatments, softening a square jaw appearance.
