Botox has become one of the most popular aesthetic treatments for people looking to reduce fine lines and wrinkles without surgery. But if you’re new to it, you may be wondering: What exactly is Botox, and how does it work? At Rejuve Aesthetics & Wellness, we specialize in safe, customized Botox treatments designed to help you look refreshed and confident. Here’s everything you need to know to get started.
What Is Botox?
Botox is the brand name for a purified form of botulinum toxin type A, a protein that temporarily relaxes muscles. While it might sound intense, Botox has been FDA-approved for cosmetic use since 2002 and has a long-standing reputation for safety when administered by trained professionals.
It works by blocking signals from the nerves to the muscles. When injected into targeted facial muscles, Botox helps reduce muscle movement, which in turn smooths out wrinkles and lines—especially those caused by repetitive facial expressions like smiling, frowning, or squinting.
How Does Botox Work?
The science behind Botox is simple yet powerful. When your muscles contract (such as when you raise your eyebrows or squint), they create folds in the skin that eventually become wrinkles. Botox works by interrupting the nerve signals that cause these contractions.
Here’s what happens during a Botox treatment at Rejuve Aesthetics & Wellness:
- Consultation: Our licensed aesthetic experts assess your skin, discuss your goals, and create a personalized treatment plan.
- Injection: Botox is injected using a very fine needle into specific facial muscles. The treatment typically takes 10–15 minutes.
- Post-Treatment: There’s minimal downtime, and you can return to most normal activities right away.
- Results: You’ll begin to see results in 3 to 7 days, with full results visible in about 2 weeks. The effects usually last 3 to 4 months.
What Areas Can Botox Treat?
Botox is most commonly used to treat:
- Forehead lines
- Crow’s feet (lines around the eyes)
- Frown lines between the eyebrows (also called “11” lines)
At Rejuve Aesthetics & Wellness, we also offer Botox for:
- Brow lifts
- Lip flips
- Jawline slimming
- Treatment of excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis)
Is Botox Right for You?
Botox is ideal for adults who want to prevent or reduce the appearance of wrinkles without surgery. Whether you’re in your late 20s or beyond, Botox can be part of a proactive skincare plan. However, the best way to know if you’re a good candidate is through a professional consultation.
