Botox is a purified injectable derived from Clostridium botulinum that temporarily relaxes specific muscles to reduce movement. In cosmetic treatments, it’s used to smooth wrinkles caused by facial expressions—like frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines. Medically, Botox is also effective for treating chronic migraines, excessive sweating, and muscle spasms. Its results are safe, subtle, and typically last between 3 to 6 months.
What Is Botox?
Botox is a purified protein derived from botulinum toxin type A. When injected in small, controlled doses, it temporarily relaxes targeted facial muscles. This helps soften the appearance of dynamic wrinkles — the lines that form from repeated expressions like smiling, frowning, or squinting.
Unlike fillers that add volume, Botox works by reducing muscle movement, making it ideal for treating:
Forehead lines
Crow’s feet (around the eyes)
Frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines)
Bunny lines (on the nose)
Chin dimpling and jawline slimming

What to Expect During a Botox Treatment
At The Abram Clinic, every Botox session is tailored to your face and desired outcomes. Here’s what happens:
Consultation: We assess your facial expressions, muscle activity, and treatment goals.
Preparation: The target areas are cleaned and marked. No numbing is needed, though it can be applied upon request.
Injection: Botox is injected using a fine needle — most clients describe it as a quick, light pinch.
Aftercare: You’re free to resume normal activities right after, with minor precautions.
Recovery & Results
You may notice small bumps or redness at injection sites — these usually fade within 10–15 minutes.
Full results appear gradually over 3 to 7 days.
Results typically last 3–6 months, depending on metabolism and muscle activity.
With consistent treatments, results may last longer and require fewer units over time.
