Botox for Cosmetic Use in Baton Rouge

What Is Botox and How Does It Work?

Botox is a purified neurotoxin that temporarily relaxes overactive facial muscles, smoothing out wrinkles and preventing new lines from forming. It works by blocking nerve signals to the muscles, allowing the skin to appear smoother, firmer, and more youthful.

Botox is FDA-approved and one of the most popular non-surgical cosmetic treatments worldwide. Results typically last 3-4 months, with regular maintenance providing consistent, youthful results over time. If you’re interested in enhancing your overall smile, you may also consider porcelain veneers or teeth whitening for a more radiant look.

Cosmetic Concerns Botox Can Treat

Botox is highly effective for treating a variety of facial aesthetic concerns, including:

Forehead Lines

Softens horizontal lines that appear across the forehead due to repetitive expressions.

Frown Lines (Glabellar Lines)

Reduces the vertical "11" lines between the eyebrows for a more relaxed appearance.

Crow’s Feet

Smooth's fine lines around the eyes are caused by smiling, squinting, and aging.

Bunny Lines

Minimizes wrinkles on the sides of the nose that appear when smiling or scrunching the nose.

Lip Lines & Lip Flip

Reduces fine lines around the mouth and enhances the upper lip for a fuller look.

Gummy Smile Treatment

Botox can help reduce excessive gum display when smiling by relaxing the upper lip muscles. Learn more about gummy smile treatment for additional options.

Jawline Slimming (Masseter Botox)

Relaxes an overactive jaw muscle to create a slimmer, more defined jawline while also providing relief for TMJ pain and teeth grinding. Visit our TMJ therapy page to learn more about treatments for jaw discomfort.
