Anti-wrinkle (Botox)
Anti-wrinkle injections (tox) relax targeted muscles to smooth lines, prevent wrinkles, and create a subtle, refreshed lift.
-
Anti-wrinkle injections are treatments that use neuromodulators such as Botox®, Dysport®, Xeomin®, or Nuceiva® to temporarily relax targeted facial muscles.
By reducing muscle movement, they soften existing lines (like frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet) and help prevent deeper wrinkles from forming over time. They can also create a subtle lifting effect in areas such as the brows or jawline by balancing muscle activity.
Results typically begin within 3–5 days, peak around 10–14 days, and last approximately 3–4 months. Treatments are quick, minimally invasive, and require little to no downtime.
When performed with an anatomy-based approach, results are natural and refreshed, not frozen.
