Botox® improves the appearance of facial wrinkles and results can last from 3 to 6 months. It has been FDA-approved for the treatment of moderate to severe wrinkles in the frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead. It is also used off-label for vertical lip lines, chin dimpling, gummy smile, neck bands, and to turn the corners of the mouth up. Botox® is also used for excessive sweating in the underarms (hyperhidrosis). You should expect to notice your wrinkles smoothing out within 2 to 10 days from your injections. Our mission with every treatment is for you to “Look fresh, not frozen”™️.
