Facial Botox (botulinum toxin) is a medical procedure performed in a clinical setting that helps soften lines caused by overactive facial expression muscles and can make the face appear more rested. The goal is not to “freeze” the face. With a personalized plan and carefully selected doses, facial expressions can be preserved while achieving a natural result.
The most commonly treated areas include:
Note: The treatment area and dose are determined during the consultation based on your facial dynamics, proportions, and expectations.
The effect usually begins within 5-7 days and reaches its maximum around days 10-14. Duration varies from person to person; in most patients, results last approximately 3-6 months. With regular treatments, some individuals may experience a longer-lasting effect.

The key to a natural result is balanced dosing and accurate targeting of the relevant muscle groups, tailored to facial anatomy. The aim is to soften lines without eliminating facial expressions, creating a more rested appearance.
