USES
The most common and widely-known use of Botox is to smooth-out wrinkles and lines on the face caused by damage and time. It is very effective at treating forehead wrinkles, reducing the appearance of frown lines, and making crow’s feet disappear. While many use it to counteract signs of aging that have already occurred, it is also very effective as a preventative measure. Younger people with smoother skin can also get Botox injections on sites where they may have wrinkles in the future- keeping them at bay for years to come!
Besides the cosmetic applications, there are also verified medical uses that Botox can help with. Injections can be used to treat muscle spasms, excessive sweating, and reduce the occurrence of migraine headaches. It can actually work for beauty and wellness at the same time!
HOW IT WORKS
By blocking nerve impulses to muscles and preventing them from contracting, Botox stops the nearby skin from being pulled and wrinkled. Over a short time, this helps those areas relax and smooth out, reducing the appearance of lines and stress. With one quick session, you can enjoy months of results!
Botox is injected into the face or other areas in small amounts at various points to treat the muscles beneath. While it is technically a neurotoxin that temporarily paralyzes the muscle, it comes formulated into a diluted compound that is very safe to use.

Yes, it has been approved by the FDA for use on people age 18 and over. While there is a small risk of side effects, less than 2% of users report any at all.
How much do I need?
Botox is measured in units, and each treatable area will require a certain number of units. Some areas require more than others, with an estimated range of 15-25 units per area.
