What is Botox and What Does it Do?
Botox is a neurotoxin that is used to relax the muscles. It is used to treat conditions such as hyperhidrosis, migraines, and chronic pain. Botox works by blocking the signals from the nerves to the muscles. This prevents the muscles from contracting.
Where to Inject Botox for the Best Results
When it comes to Botox, there are a few key areas you want to target for the best results. The first is the area between your eyebrows, also known as the glabellar region. This is where you’ll typically see the most pronounced lines and wrinkles.

How Much Does Botox Cost?
Botox injections can cost a few hundred dollars or more, depending on where you live and the type and amount of Botox you get. Consult your local Medspa to get a more precise estimate.
