About Botulinum Therapy
Tox, commonly known as Botox®, is an FDA-approved treatment that has been safely used for
over 20 years to smooth fine lines and wrinkles by temporarily relaxing the underlying muscles.
It is most often used on areas such as the forehead, crow’s feet, and frown lines, helping patients
achieve a refreshed and more youthful appearance without surgery or downtime. In addition to
its cosmetic benefits, Tox has also been widely studied and used for various medical conditions,
making it one of the most trusted and effective treatments in aesthetic medicine.
Botox®
Botox® is the most well-known and widely studied neuromodulator, FDA-approved for
cosmetic use for over 20 years. It works by temporarily relaxing targeted muscles to soften
wrinkles and fine lines, most commonly in the forehead, frown lines, and crow’s feet. Botox®
has a long track record of safety and effectiveness, making it a trusted option for patients seeking
a natural, refreshed look.
Dysport®
Dysport® works in the same way as Botox®—by relaxing muscles to smooth lines and wrinkles
—but has a slightly different formulation. Many patients notice that Dysport® spreads a little
more easily, making it especially effective for treating larger areas like the forehead. Some also
report seeing results a bit sooner compared to Botox®. It is an excellent alternative for patients
looking for fast, natural-looking results.
Letybo®
Letybo® is one of the newer neuromodulators in the U.S., though it has been widely used in
other countries specifically South Korea for years with great success. It is designed to deliver
consistent, smooth results and has been shown to be highly effective for treating moderate to
severe frown lines. Letybo® provides another safe and effective option for patients seeking a
customized treatment plan.

Quick answers to questions you may have
What happens during this procedure?
During a Botox injection procedure, your provider will begin by gently cleansing the area and discussing any last-minute questions you may have. Using a very fine needle, they’ll carefully inject small amounts of Botox into specific muscles. Most people describe the sensation as a tiny pinch or slight pressure — it’s quick and usually over in just a few minutes. There’s no need for anesthesia, and you can return to your normal activities right after. It’s a simple, safe, and low-stress process designed to help you feel refreshed and confident.
Will I lack facial expressions after treatment?
It’s a common concern, but rest assured — when Botox is done correctly by a trained professional, you won’t lose your facial expressions. The goal is to soften lines and reduce overactive muscle movement, not to freeze your face. You’ll still be able to smile, frown, and look surprised — just with a smoother, more refreshed appearance. Most people find they look more relaxed and well-rested, not expressionless.
Will I lose my sense of feeling where I have the injections?
No, you won’t lose your sense of feeling where Botox is injected. Botox works on the muscles to reduce movement, not on the nerves responsible for touch or sensation. You may feel a little tenderness or slight swelling right after the procedure, but that fades quickly. Your skin will still feel completely normal — the only difference you’ll notice is a smoother, more refreshed look.
When is it safe to have another treatment?
It’s generally safe to have another Botox treatment about three to four months after your previous session. That’s when the effects typically begin to wear off and muscle movement gradually returns. Your provider will help you time your treatments based on your unique response and aesthetic goals. Staying consistent with treatments can help maintain smooth, natural-looking results without overdoing it.
