Botox is the most popular cosmetic treatment in the world for good reason. This FDA-approved neurotoxin temporarily relaxes the facial muscles responsible for expression lines giving you a smoother, more refreshed appearance without surgery and without downtime. Whether you are addressing forehead lines, the frown lines between your brows, crow’s feet around your eyes, or exploring a lip flip or jaw slimming treatment our experienced providers will create a personalized plan designed specifically for your face and your goals.
BOTOX® is a purified form of botulinum toxin A, a neurotoxin that works by temporarily paralyzing muscles. When injected into specific facial muscles, it blocks the nerve signals that cause muscle contractions. This relaxation of muscles smooths out wrinkles and prevents the formation of new lines with expressive facial movements.
BOTOX® Cosmetic works beneath the skin’s surface, targeting the underlying muscle activity that leads to frown lines and crow’s feet. It is carefully injected into the muscles responsible for these expressions, allowing the skin above to smooth out and appear more refreshed and rejuvenated.

Ideal candidates for BOTOX® are adults who wish to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles and fine lines. It is crucial for candidates to have realistic expectations and understand that the results are temporary, typically lasting between 3 to 6 months.
Most patients begin to notice the effects of Botox within three to five days after their appointment. Full results are typically visible within 10 to 14 days. If you feel your results are not quite where you expected them to be after two weeks contact us and we will be happy to assess your results and determine if a small touch-up is appropriate.
For most patients Botox results last between three and four months. Factors that affect longevity include your metabolism, muscle strength, and how consistently you stay on a treatment schedule. Patients who maintain regular appointments often find their results last longer over time as the muscles gradually become conditioned to remaining in a more relaxed state. We recommend scheduling your next appointment around the three month mark to maintain consistent results.

Both Botox and Dysport are FDA-approved neurotoxins that relax the muscles responsible for expression lines. The primary differences are in their formulation and how quickly they take effect. Dysport tends to spread slightly more which can be advantageous for larger treatment areas like the forehead. Botox is more precise which makes it ideal for smaller targeted areas. At The Moore Center we offer both and our providers will recommend the best option based on your specific goals and facial anatomy during your consultation.
