Softer lines.
Still unmistakably you.
A precise, personalized injectable treatment designed to temporarily soften moderate to severe expression lines while respecting your natural movement and facial balance.
Designed around your goals
What it can address.
Forehead lines
Temporarily reduces the muscle activity that contributes to moderate to severe horizontal forehead lines.
Frown lines
Softens moderate to severe lines between the brows for a more rested-looking expression.
Crow’s feet
Refines moderate to severe lines around the outer eyes while keeping the overall result balanced.
Platysma bands
May temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe vertical bands connecting the jaw and neck.
The technology
Precision beneath the surface.
Repeated facial expressions can cause the skin to furrow and fold over time. Botox Cosmetic works beneath the surface by temporarily reducing the underlying muscle activity that contributes to approved expression lines.
Placement and dosing are selected after assessing your anatomy, movement and goals. The intention is not to change your character, but to create a measured result that feels at home on your face.
Treatment settings and candidacy are individualized after consultation.
Your treatment journey
Clear, considered care.
Assess
We review your medical history, facial movement and the lines you would like to soften before creating an individualized plan.

A series of small injections is placed in the planned muscles. The appointment is generally brief, with temporary pinpoint redness or bruising possible.

Frequently asked
Good to know.
Will I still look like myself?
That is the goal. Your treatment is planned around your anatomy and movement, with a measured approach intended to soften specific lines rather than erase expression. Results vary.
How quickly will I see a result?
For moderate to severe forehead lines, frown lines and crow’s feet, visible change may begin in one to two days, with full results in up to 30 days. Platysma-band results may be fully visible at approximately 14 days.
How long does Botox Cosmetic last?
Results in approved upper-face areas can last up to four months. Botox Cosmetic is temporary, and treatments should be spaced at least 90 days apart. Individual timing varies.
Is there downtime?
Most clients return to normal daily activities soon after treatment. Temporary redness, tenderness, swelling or bruising at injection sites can occur. Follow all aftercare instructions from your provider.
Is Botox Cosmetic right for everyone?
No. A medical consultation is required. Tell your provider about medical conditions, medications, prior botulinum toxin treatments, pregnancy or breastfeeding, and any infection or weakness in the planned treatment area.
