Botox is a purified protein that temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for creating facial wrinkles. It works by blocking nerve signals that tell those muscles to contract. The result is smoother skin with a rested, youthful appearance. Botox has been FDA-approved for cosmetic use since 2002 and has a long-standing track record of safety and effectiveness.
Botox was originally developed in the late 1980s for medical use, particularly in treating eye muscle disorders. In 2002, the FDA approved it for cosmetic use to temporarily improve the appearance of frown lines between the brows. Since then, Botox has become one of the most widely performed aesthetic treatments in the world, celebrated for its ability to safely and effectively smooth wrinkles with little to no downtime.
Botox is the most popular non-surgical aesthetic treatment in the U.S., and for good reason. It effectively reduces the appearance of fine lines and dynamic wrinkles- those caused by repeated facial expressions like squinting, frowning, or smiling. Many patients in their 20s and 30s choose Botox proactively to prevent these lines from becoming deeply etched.
We provide Botox for both FDA-approved and off-label uses to address a variety of aesthetic concerns:
Botox is an FDA-approved, non-surgical solution designed to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. At our Boston-based medical spa, we specialize in Botox treatments that target both on-label and off-label areas, providing you with a refreshed, youthful look that fits your unique needs.
Your Botox treatment will be quick and comfortable. Many patients schedule their visit during a lunch break. The area is first cleansed and may be numbed with ice or a topical anesthetic. Botox is then injected using a fine needle. The number of units and treatment areas will be customized to your unique anatomy and goals.
There’s no required downtime. You may experience minor redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites, which typically resolves within a few days. Full results appear in 2 weeks and typically last 3–4 months.
You don’t have to wait for deep lines to appear before considering Botox. Many of our patients start Botox early to prevent the formation of wrinkles. When used consistently over time, Botox can help preserve smooth skin and delay visible signs of aging.

In addition to the FDA-approved treatments, Botox offers a range of off-label uses that can enhance various areas of the face and body. Here are some of the most popular and effective off-label Botox treatments:
Botox relaxes the masseter muscle, which can help with teeth clenching and jaw tension. Additionally, it can slim the jawline, creating a more sculpted, contoured appearance.
This innovative procedure subtly enhances the upper lip, increasing volume and preventing the lips from curling under when smiling. It’s a great option for those seeking a fuller, more defined smile.
Botox can target the muscles that lift the upper lip, reducing the amount of gum visible when you smile for a more balanced and harmonious smile.
By relaxing the trapezius muscles, Botox softens the area around the shoulders and neck, creating a more feminine, graceful neckline and helping relieve muscle tension.
Botox can smooth out small wrinkles on the nose, often caused by scrunching or smiling, leaving you with a smoother and more youthful nose area.
Botox is a game-changer for those with excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis). It effectively reduces sweating in the underarms, offering long-lasting relief and comfort.
If you’re bothered by dimples in your chin, Botox can smooth the area, creating a more even and youthful appearance.
Botox can subtly relax the muscles that cause nostrils to flare, slimming the appearance of your nose and giving you a refined profile.
Botox can subtly lift the brows, providing a refreshed and youthful look. This non-surgical brow lift rejuvenates the eye area and improves your overall facial expression.
Botox can enhance the mid-face area, helping to lift sagging cheeks and creating a more youthful, lifted appearance without the need for invasive surgery.
Botox can relax the Depressor Anguli Oris (DAO) muscles, which are responsible for the downward pulling of the corners of the mouth. This treatment softens marionette lines and creates a more lifted, youthful appearance.
Botox pairs beautifully with dermal fillers and skin rejuvenation services to achieve full-face enhancement. If you're also concerned about volume loss or skin texture, our team can recommend a personalized plan that may include fillers, microneedling, or laser treatments.
