In-Depth
What You Need to Know
Botox works by blocking nerve signals to the muscles, preventing them from contracting and creating wrinkles. Common treatment areas include forehead lines, frown lines (glabellar/"11" lines), crow's feet, bunny lines, and chin dimpling. Results typically appear within 3-7 days, peak at 2 weeks, and last 3-4 months. Botox is also used therapeutically for migraines, excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), TMJ/jawline slimming, and neck bands. Treatment involves multiple small injections and takes about 10-15 minutes with minimal downtime. Dosing is measured in units, with typical treatments ranging from 20-64 units depending on the area.
