Botulinum toxin relaxes the specific muscles that crease the skin when you frown, raise your eyebrows or squint.
In the right dose your face still moves naturally and the lines simply soften. Results show in 3 to 7 days and usually last 3 to 4 months.
What is Botox?
Botox is a purified protein, botulinum toxin type A, injected in tiny amounts to relax the specific muscles that cause expression lines. The skin above smooths out while the rest of your face moves normally.
Who is Botox for?
- Forehead lines
- Frown lines between the brows

It may not be the right time if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have an active infection in the treatment area, or have reacted badly to a similar treatment before. Dr. Kajal checks this at your consultation.

Botox: frequently asked questions
Will I look frozen?
Not with the right dose. The aim is to soften lines while keeping your natural expressions.
How long does Botox last?
Usually 3 to 4 months. With regular sessions, many people find the lines stay softer for longer.
