What is Botox?
Botox is a prescription neuromodulator medication injected into the facial or neck muscles in order to temporarily reduce the appearance of fine lines between the eyes, in the brow area, eye area, near the mouth (smile lines) and on the neck. Made from purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium, it reduces the activity of the muscles that cause frown lines and smile lines. It is the only treatment of its type approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration. After treatment, you will notice immediate improvement in moderate to severe frown lines with results lasting up to four months.

By and large, a neurotoxin lasts for roughly 3 to 4 months, depending on skin type and other factors.
