What Is Botox®?

Botox® is an injectable cosmetic solution that smooths and softens facial expression lines between the brows, on the forehead, on the sides of the eyes, and around the mouth.

The treatment contains onabotulinumtoxinA and works by temporarily immobilizing the facial muscles at the injection sites. Each injection site gets carefully selected to offer good results while maintaining a natural facial appearance.

How Long Does Botox® Take to Work?

Botox® is one of the world’s top cosmetic treatments, and while you might see celebrities having Botox® injections, millions of ordinary Americans also opt for Botox® each year.

One of the reasons for its popularity is due to the time it takes to work. On average, you can expect Botox® to begin working in just three to four days after the treatment session.

How Long Will Botox® Last?

Although Botox® treatments aren’t permanent, they do last for three to four months on average. If you want to maintain the positive changes that Botox® makes to your facial features, it makes sense to have top-up treatment sessions.
