Botox That Softens Lines, Not Expressions

Botox is the familiar name for botulinum toxin, a purified protein that relaxes the small muscles whose repeated movement folds the skin into lines. Used in tiny, precisely placed doses, it softens frown lines between the brows, horizontal forehead lines and crow's feet, and can slim a widened jaw from clenching or reduce excessive underarm sweating.

The result depends almost entirely on who injects it. A frozen forehead or dropped brow comes from too much product in the wrong place. Dr. Daksha Patel, an MD dermatologist, maps your muscles while you frown, raise your brows and smile, then doses each point conservatively, so lines soften while your face keeps moving.

Effects begin in 3 to 7 days, peak at two weeks and last 3 to 5 months. Patients at our Kalyani Nagar clinic are reviewed at two weeks, when a small touch-up is done if needed. It is one of the quickest procedures we offer, with no downtime, and one of the most satisfying when done with restraint.
