Botox
Precise, restrained neuromodulator work. Expression preserved.
What botox does, in plain language.
Botox is a purified neuromodulator that briefly quiets the small muscles responsible for expression lines — the horizontal creases across the forehead, the vertical elevens between the brows, the fan of lines at the outer eyes.
The work is planned around how your face actually moves. We map dose and placement to your anatomy so that expression stays yours: eyebrows still lift, eyes still smile, foreheads still frown when they should.
Botox is best for dynamic lines — the ones that appear when you move — and for softening lines etched at rest. It also has well-established medical uses for jaw tension, migraine patterns, and excessive underarm sweating.
A consultation determines whether this treatment is right for you — every plan begins with a conversation and a physician assessment.

- Duration
- About 20 minutes.

Honest timelines.
- When results appear
- Softening begins around day 3–4; full effect at 10–14 days.
- How long they last
- Typically 3–4 months, sometimes longer with consistent treatment.
- Downtime
- None. Small pinpoint marks may appear briefly; makeup is fine after a few hours.
- Sessions
- A single visit; re-treatment every 3–4 months maintains results.
Simple steps that protect the result.
- —Stay upright for the first four hours; avoid strenuous exercise the same day.
- —Skip facials, massage, and headstands for 24 hours.
- —Daily broad-spectrum SPF supports the surrounding skin.
- —Call us if anything feels asymmetric at day 10 — small touch-ups are simple.
