Refresh Your Look with Botox at Herndon Dermatology
Wrinkles and fine lines can make you look tired or older than you feel. At Herndon Dermatology, our expert team offers Botox treatments to gently relax facial muscles and smooth away unwanted lines. This trusted, FDA-approved procedure helps patients achieve a naturally refreshed appearance without surgery or downtime.
What is Botox?
Botox is a neuromodulator derived from purified botulinum toxin type A. When injected by a trained provider, it temporarily relaxes the muscles that cause expression-related wrinkles, softening lines while maintaining natural movement.
Common treatment areas include:
- Frown lines (between the brows)
- Forehead creases
- Crow’s feet (around the eyes)
- Bunny lines (on the nose)
- Neck bands and jawline slimming (in select cases)
Beyond aesthetics, Botox can also be used to treat conditions such as migraines, TMJ-related jaw tension, and excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis).
How Does Botox Work?
During treatment, tiny amounts of Botox are injected into specific muscles using a fine needle. This temporarily blocks nerve signals, preventing the muscle from contracting and allowing the skin above to smooth out.
The process is quick and simple:
- Your provider maps the treatment areas based on your goals.
- A fine needle delivers precise injections with minimal discomfort.
- The procedure typically takes 10–20 minutes.
- Results appear within 3–7 days and last about 3–4 months.
With regular treatments, Botox can help prevent deep lines from forming and maintain a youthful, refreshed look.
After learning how Botox works, it’s easy to see why it remains one of the most popular cosmetic treatments worldwide. Here’s what you can expect:
