What Is Botox?
Botox is a premier, FDA-approved injectable neuromodulator used to smooth out fine lines and prevent the formation of deeper wrinkles. It is most commonly used on the forehead, between the brows, and around the eyes to create a refreshed and well-rested appearance.
Individuals seek Botox to address dynamic wrinkles—lines that appear when we make facial expressions. By strategically relaxing the muscles responsible for these movements, the treatment allows the skin to smooth out naturally. It is a cornerstone of modern preventative anti-aging.
Biologically, Botox temporarily blocks the signal between the nerve and the muscle, preventing intense contractions that lead to creasing. Under the expert hand of Dr. Mary, the results are subtle and natural, never “frozen.”
As a medical procedure, Botox requires a professional consultation to ensure dosing and placement are tailored to the patient’s anatomy.
