Botox Treatment
Botulinum toxin type A, placed conservatively into the specific muscle causing the line — so you look rested rather than expressionless.
Dynamic lines versus static lines
This single distinction explains most disappointment with Botox, so it is worth getting straight before you book.
Dynamic lines appear when you move — when you raise your brows, frown or smile. They are caused by muscle contraction, and neurotoxin treats them well.
Static lines are visible when your face is completely still. They are etched into the skin over years. Neurotoxin softens them somewhat, over repeated treatments, but it does not erase them — and anyone promising otherwise is overselling.
Which of the two you have is assessed in person — and it is worth knowing before you book what neurotoxin can realistically change.
