Botox injections use a toxin called OnabotulinumtoxinA to temporarily prevent a muscle from moving, typically used for treating facial wrinkles and creases. Botox was the first botulinum toxin-based medicine brand, although there are other brands including Dysport, Myobloc, and Xeomin. The procedure itself is relatively quick and painless.
Results appear within a few days and typically last three to six months, after which repeat treatment is needed to maintain the effect. Cost depends on how many units you need, which varies with the area treated and the strength of the muscle, so treating frown lines alone costs far less than a full upper face. Patients often combine it with an injectable filler, which restores lost volume rather than relaxing muscle.
