Reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles and fine lines by temporarily relaxing the underlying muscles for a smoother, more youthful look.
What Is BOTOX?
BOTOX is an FDA-approved, minimally invasive cosmetic treatment designed to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles and fine lines. It utilizes a purified form of botulinum toxin type A to temporarily relax the underlying muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles—those caused by repetitive facial expressions like frowning or squinting. By inhibiting nerve signals to these muscles, BOTOX smooths the overlying skin, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
At Nashville Plastic Surgery Institute (NPSI), the procedure is performed by our skilled professionals under the guidance of Dr. Jacob Unger. The treatment involves a series of small injections using fine needles, targeting specific areas such as the forehead, between the eyebrows (glabellar lines), and around the eyes (crow’s feet). The process typically takes about 10 to 15 minutes and requires minimal downtime, allowing you to resume your daily activities immediately. Results become noticeable within a few days, with optimal effects appearing within two weeks and lasting up to four months.
