Botox

What is Botox®?

Botox® is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that temporarily relaxes targeted facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles. These wrinkles form from repeated movements such as frowning, squinting, or raising your eyebrows. By reducing muscle activity in specific areas, Botox® helps smooth existing lines and prevents deeper wrinkles from forming over time. It’s a widely used, well-studied treatment known for delivering subtle, natural-looking results when administered by a trained medical provider.

Which concerns can Botox® treat?

Botox® is commonly used to improve the appearance of:

• Forehead lines
• Frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines)
• Crow’s feet around the eyes
• Bunny lines on the nose
• Lines around the mouth
• Neck bands
• Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis)

Treatment results in a more relaxed, refreshed appearance while preserving natural facial expressions.

What happens during a Botox® appointment?

Before treatment, Meghann completes a personalized consultation to understand your goals and evaluate your facial anatomy. She reviews your medical history and discusses the areas you’d like to address. Botox® is administered using a fine needle, and the injections typically take just a few minutes to complete.

Most patients describe the injections as a mild pinch, and no anesthesia is required. There is little to no downtime, allowing you to return to most daily activities shortly after your visit.

When will I see results, and how long do they last?

You may begin noticing smoother skin within three to five days, with full results visible in about 10–14 days. The effects of Botox® typically last three to four months. Regular treatments can help maintain results and may reduce the formation of deeper wrinkles over time.

Am I a candidate for Botox®?

Botox® is safe for most healthy adults seeking to reduce fine lines or address specific cosmetic or medical concerns. Meghann will determine if Botox® is right for you based on your health history, skin condition, and treatment goals.
