Botox is an FDA-approved, minimally invasive treatment designed to temporarily relax facial muscles that cause fine lines and wrinkles. It helps smooth out muscle which form over time from repetitive facial expressions like squinting, laughing, or smiling, as well as from sun exposure and the natural aging process. These wrinkles become more noticeable when facial muscles are engaged, but treatment can result in a more youthful and refreshed appearance. Results typically begin to appear within 3-5 days, with full effects seen in 2 weeks.
