Understanding BOTOX: How It Works
BOTOX Cosmetic is an FDA-approved injectable treatment for relaxing the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles. When strategically administered, BOTOX blocks nerve signals to specific muscles, preventing them from contracting and creating lines on the skin’s surface.
Unlike dermal fillers, which add volume beneath the skin, BOTOX addresses the root cause of inevitable wrinkles—muscle movement. This makes it particularly effective for expression-related wrinkles when you smile, frown or raise your eyebrows.
The science behind BOTOX is precise and targeted. Our skilled practitioners at Luminance understand facial anatomy and inject just the right amount in exactly the right locations to deliver natural-looking results. We focus on reducing wrinkles while preserving your natural expressions, avoiding the “frozen” look resulting from inexperienced administration.
