What is Botox used for?
- Forehead lines: Soften horizontal wrinkles.
- Frown lines: Soften lines between the eyebrows.
- Crow’s feet: Soften lines around the eyes.
- Masseter muscles: In selected patients, treatment may reduce jaw muscle bulk after a doctor’s assessment.
- Excessive sweating: Botulinum toxin can reduce underarm sweating in appropriate patients.
- Other medical uses: Botulinum toxin is also used for certain muscle spasms. Ask the doctor which treatments are available here.
How does Botox work?
It blocks the release of acetylcholine, a chemical signal that activates muscles. This temporarily reduces muscle contraction and softens some expression lines.
When will I see results?
Effects may begin within a few days. Many people notice a clearer change within 10–14 days; full results can take longer, depending on the product and area treated.
How long does it last?
Results commonly last around 3–4 months, but duration varies by product, treatment area and person.
