What is Botox used to treat?
Botox is an injected liquid used to treat frown lines, smile lines, crows feet, nasal crunch lines, and horizontal forehead wrinkles. By relaxing the underlying muscles, these lines become less deep and soften the face.

Botox treatments typically last 3-6 months. Patients who receive regular treatments will notice that the treatments start to last longer after the first year.
How long does Botox take to work?
Botox treatments tend to be noticed within 72 hours after the injection. The full effect of the treatment is determined after 7 days.
