Quick answer
What Is Botox and How Does It Work?
Botox is an FDA-approved injection. It relaxes the muscles that cause lines on your face.
- A doctor injects a small, measured dose into specific muscles.
- The medicine blocks the nerve signal that tightens those muscles.
- Over time, expression lines and wrinkles soften.
- Your face does not freeze. You can still smile and show emotion.
Knowing how Botox works helps you feel ready before your visit.
How Long Do Botox Results Last?
Most results last 3 to 4 months. How long yours last depends on:
- The area treated
- The number of units used
- Your metabolism and lifestyle
- Regular visits can help results last longer over time.
You can find more detail on how long Botox lasts and on ways to make results last longer.
Some habits make Botox results wear off faster, so it helps to know them.
Our Botox and treatment options

- Brow lift: Gently lifts a drooping brow so you look more awake.
- Bunny lines: The small wrinkles across the nose.
- Lip lines and lip flip: Softens lines around the mouth and adds a little shape to the upper lip.
- Chin dimpling (peau d’orange): Relaxes the chin muscle for smoother skin.
- Neck bands (Nefertiti lift): Softens neck bands for a cleaner jawline and neck.

Botox vs. Dermal Fillers: Understanding the Difference
People often ask how Botox differs from dermal fillers. They fix different problems:
- Botox for wrinkles relaxes muscles to soften lines you get when you move your face.
- Dermal fillers add volume under the skin. They treat lines at rest, hollow areas, and lost shape.
Many patients use both. This is sometimes called a “liquid facelift.” It treats movement lines and lost volume together, and patients who want volume often add facial fillers to their Botox plan.
Here is a closer look at the difference between Botox and fillers.

Dr. B made my fiance and my first scrotox treatment absolutely wonderful. We were a bit nervous, but her bedside manner, kindness, and fun conversation made us wishing we lived closer, both to have more work done and to also just hang out with her!! 10/10 and come in for a consult to see for yourself how sincerely wonderful her and Olga are. We drove 5 and a half hours to see her, passing many other Botox practices, but it was worth the trip for HER. She is also very supportive of lgbtq and made us feel even more at home being with someone on our “side” against hate. Thank you, so so much Avellina Aesthetics!
