What is Botox?

Botox is a purified form of botulinum toxin that temporarily relaxes the facial muscles responsible for expression lines and dynamic wrinkles. It works by blocking nerve signals to the targeted muscles, preventing them from contracting and creating visible wrinkles. Commonly used to treat forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines between the eyebrows, Botox delivers subtle, natural-looking results. At H-MD Medical Spa, Botox is skillfully administered to help you look refreshed and more youthful.

What can Botox treat?

Forehead lines

Repeated movement of the forehead muscles can lead to the development of horizontal lines that deepen over time. Botox smooths these wrinkles by relaxing the muscle responsible for raising the brows. This gives the forehead a more youthful, rested appearance.

Frown lines (glabellar lines)

These vertical lines between the eyebrows, often referred to as “11s,” form due to frequent frowning or concentrating. Botox targets the corrugator and procerus muscles to soften these lines. The result is a more approachable, calm appearance.

Crow’s feet

The delicate lines around the eyes form from years of smiling, squinting, and exposure to the sun. Botox gently relaxes the orbicularis oculi muscle to reduce the appearance of crow’s feet. This enhances the eyes, making them look brighter and more open.

Bunny lines

These fine lines appear on the sides of the nose when you scrunch your face. Botox relaxes the nasalis muscle to smooth out these wrinkles. Treating bunny lines can subtly refine your facial expressions, resulting in a more polished look.

Chin dimpling

Overactive chin muscles can cause a pebbled appearance, commonly referred to as an “orange peel chin.” Botox softens this muscle activity, creating a smoother and more youthful chin contour. This is a quick and effective solution for subtle lower-face rejuvenation.
