One of the best‑known brands of botulinum toxin injections, Botox® has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for cosmetic use since 2002. At PUR Skin Clinic, we use this treatment to help clients put time on pause and soften the expression lines that develop with age. Dynamic wrinkles, those caused by repeated facial expressions such as frowning or squinting, can make you look older than you feel, and Botox® is designed to temporarily relax the muscles that cause them. By temporarily blocking nerve signals to the targeted muscles, Botox reduces their activity so the overlying skin can smooth out and recover.
A typical treatment is quick, requires no anesthesia, and involves little to no downtime, making it an attractive option for people with busy schedules. In addition, Botox is also used medically to treat hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) and other conditions, further underscoring its versatility.
Botox® is one of the most trusted and widely used treatments for softening lines and wrinkles. By relaxing targeted facial muscles, it helps create a smoother, more refreshed appearance without surgery or downtime.
Botox® is versatile and can address multiple facial concerns as well as certain medical conditions.
Botox® can be used on several areas of the face and neck. Our clients most often request treatment for frown lines and horizontal forehead wrinkles, crow’s‑feet at the outer corners of the eyes, and the “11” lines between the eyebrows. It can also be used to soften vertical lip lines, lift the corners of the mouth, relax a dimpled chin, or contour the jawline. For patients suffering from hyperhidrosis, tiny injections in the underarms dramatically reduce sweat production.
You Can Expect:
Botox®is a purified form of botulinum toxin that temporarily blocks the nerve signals that trigger muscle contraction. By relaxing specific facial muscles, it softens existing wrinkles and prevents new lines from forming.
Discomfort during injections is usually mild and short‑lived. We offer a cold pack or numbing cream to maximize comfort, and most patients are finished in 15–20 minutes with no downtime. Minor side effects such as redness, swelling, or bruising may occur but tend to resolve quickly.
Many people begin to notice results from Botox® within a few days, with full results visible in about a week. Lines continue to improve for up to 30 days, and results typically last three to four months. Some patients enjoy longer‑lasting results and can schedule their follow‑up treatments less frequently.
Yes, Botox® is frequently combined with other non-surgical treatments like dermal fillers, microneedling, and laser resurfacing for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Combining therapies can address multiple concerns, Botox® smooths dynamic wrinkles while fillers restore lost volume. During your consultation, our providers will create a personalized plan to help you achieve the best possible results.
To maximize your results and minimize side effects, we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, excessive heat (such as saunas or hot tubs), and alcohol for the first 24 hours after your treatment. Do not massage or rub the treated area, and try to keep your head elevated for at least four hours. Following these guidelines helps ensure the Botox® stays where it’s needed and reduces the risk of bruising or spreading to unintended muscles.
Botox® is not recommended for people who are pregnant or breastfeeding, have certain neuromuscular disorders, or are allergic to any ingredients in the product. During your consultation, our providers will review your medical history to determine if Botox® is the right choice for you.
When performed by an experienced provider, long-term side effects are very rare. Some patients who receive Botox® over many years may notice mild muscle weakening in treated areas, but this typically resolves if treatments are paused. There is no evidence that Botox® builds up in the body or leads to serious health concerns when administered safely.
