Botox Injections — Smooth & Soften Expression Lines
Botox (botulinum toxin type A) is an FDA-approved injectable used to temporarily relax facial muscles that cause wrinkles. By reducing muscle activity in areas of frequent movement—like the forehead, glabella (between eyebrows), and around the eyes—Botox softens lines, giving you smoother skin while preserving your natural expression.
