What is Botox?

How Botox Works

Botox is a purified protein that interrupts nerve signals to targeted muscles, reducing repeated contractions and softening the lines those movements create.

Treatment Process

The procedure involves quick, precise injections with a fine needle. Results appear in two weeks, and generally last three to four months.

Safety and FDA Approval

Botox has been FDA-approved for cosmetic use since 2002 and is among the most studied aesthetic treatments. When performed by trained providers, it is considered safe and predictable.

Areas Commonly Treated

The most frequent treatment areas include forehead lines, frown lines between the brows, and crow’s feet. Additional uses may be appropriate based on provider evaluation.

A Patient-Focused Approach

At Seaport Medspa, Botox® Cosmetic is performed with an emphasis on safety, education, and natural results. Each consultation begins with a thorough evaluation of facial anatomy and a discussion of patient goals. This ensures treatment plans are designed to achieve subtle improvements that preserve natural expression.

The Science Behind Botox

Botox is classified as a neuromodulator. It works by blocking the release of signals that cause muscle contractions. When specific facial muscles are relaxed, the lines that form from repeated expressions—called dynamic wrinkles—are softened. Unlike static wrinkles, which remain visible even at rest, dynamic wrinkles respond effectively to Botox.

The Treatment Experience

Treatment sessions are efficient, typically lasting 10 to 15 minutes. A fine needle is used to place small amounts of Botox into precise locations. Most patients describe the sensation as a brief pinch. While mild redness or swelling may occur at injection sites, these effects usually fade within hours. No recovery time is required, allowing patients to return to daily activities immediately.

Expected Results

Visible improvements often begin within seven days, with full results appearing at around two weeks. The effect lasts approximately three to four months before gradually wearing off. Regular treatments can help maintain results and may even prevent deeper wrinkles from forming as muscles contract less forcefully over time.

Safety and Research

Botox has a strong safety profile and is supported by decades of clinical studies. It was first FDA-approved for cosmetic use in 2002 and has since become one of the most widely performed non-surgical treatments worldwide. Side effects are typically mild and temporary, such as slight bruising or tenderness at injection sites. Serious complications are rare when injections are performed by experienced providers with knowledge of facial anatomy.

Areas of Treatment

The most common treatment sites include horizontal forehead lines, vertical frown lines between the brows, and crow’s feet at the corners of the eyes. In some cases, Botox may also be applied to concerns such as neck bands, jawline tension, or a gummy smile. These advanced uses are always customized to patient needs and require careful provider assessment.
