The lines that appear across your forehead, around your eyes, or between your brows with each facial expression are part of what makes you unique, but over time, they can become deeper and last even when your face relaxes. Botox® smooths expression lines and wrinkles for a refreshed, youthful appearance without surgery or time off from your busy routine.
Botox® is the original cosmetic formulation of botulinum toxin, a neuromodulator or neurotoxin that causes muscle relaxation. Other versions of this compound include Dysport® and Xeomin®. Your Manhattan Aesthetics team can choose from any of these products to achieve your best results. Botox® is used to treat dynamic wrinkles, those caused by facial expressions. Popular uses include forehead lines, crow’s feet, lines between the brows, and creases around the mouth and nose.

When injected, Botox® targets the facial nerves that control the muscles causing your wrinkles. It does not damage the nerves, but it stops them from sending signals, stopping the muscles from contracting. As the muscles relax, the overlying skin becomes smooth and is no longer pulled into creases with each facial expression. Because your injector can precisely target the problem muscles, your expressions still look natural and animated.
How long Botox® lasts varies depending on many factors. Each person’s body will remove the compound from their facial nerves at a different rate. Most people will enjoy their rejuvenated appearance for three to six months. Those who have been receiving Botox® for a while may have longer-lasting results due to their muscles becoming accustomed to their relaxed state.
Botox® alternatives may last longer than Botox® for some people, so your expert injector will discuss all the pros and cons of each option and which one they recommend for your concerns. Offering the widest range of options lets you benefit from more personalized care.

Many people fit Botox® into a busy schedule by having treatment on their lunch break and returning to work immediately afterward. There is no downtime required, although you should avoid rubbing your face for the next few hours and limit strenuous activities for 24 hours. Some people notice minor redness, bruising, or swelling in the injection area that disappears within a few days.
Despite the name, botulinum toxin is FDA-approved and very safe for cosmetic and medical uses. Most healthy adults are good candidates for Botox®, whether they want to address wrinkles or prevent them from becoming noticeable. Candidates should have reasonable expectations, and you should not have injections in an area where you have an active skin condition or infection.
