How Botox & Neurotoxins Works
Consultation & Facial Assessment
Your provider examines facial muscle movement and discusses target areas such as forehead lines, crow's feet, or frown lines.
Marking Injection Sites
Precise injection points are marked on the skin to ensure symmetrical, natural-looking results.
Neurotoxin Injection
Using a fine needle, small amounts of botulinum toxin are injected into targeted muscles. The entire process takes 15-30 minutes.
Post-Treatment Care
You can return to normal activities immediately. Avoid rubbing the treated area and stay upright for 4 hours to prevent migration.

| Morpheus8 | Morpheus8 provides deeper collagen remodeling and skin tightening, but requires more downtime than Botox. |
