How It Works
Botox is an FDA-approved neuromodulator used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. It works by temporarily relaxing specific facial muscles, which smooths the skin and diminishes the formation of new wrinkles. It is injected under the skin into areas surrounding the eyes, forehead and mouth. Every patient is different, but most people see optimal results one to two weeks after treatment. Botox results last for three to four months. You may experience some slight bruising and swelling right after your treatment. Otherwise, there is no significant downtime. Regular use can help maintain a youthful appearance and prevent the development of new wrinkles.
Popular treatment areas include forehead lines, frown lines, bunny lines, crow’s feet, dimpled chin, gummy smile, and lip lines.

Before and After
I have a special event like a wedding coming up. When should I have my treatment?
At Charleston Dermatology, we recommend you have this treatment 4-6 weeks prior to an event. This leaves time for touch-ups if necessary and plenty of time for the treatment to still be working for your big day.
