Botox Treatments in Ottawa - Smooth Wrinkles, Restore Confidence
What Is Botox and How Does It Work?
Botox is a purified form of botulinum toxin type A, a neuromodulator that temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for expression lines and dynamic wrinkles. It works by blocking nerve signals to the treated muscles, reducing their ability to contract. As a result, lines caused by repetitive facial movements—such as frown lines, forehead creases, and crow’s feet—are softened or eliminated.
The procedure is minimally invasive and performed using a series of precise injections into the targeted areas. Results typically begin to appear within 3–5 days and reach full effect within two weeks, lasting around 3–4 months depending on individual metabolism and muscle activity.
