What is Botox?
Botox is an FDA and Health Canada-approved purified non-animal protein that relaxes selected animation muscles. The most commonly targeted areas are between the frown lines, crow’s feet around the sides of the eyes, and worry lines on the forehead.
Botox injectable treatments take 15 – 30 minutes, and most patients return to work immediately after the procedure. Botox may cause muscle spasms, but this is a rare side effect.
How Long Does Botox Last For?
The results of a single Botox injectable last between 3 to 6 months.

What is a Botox Unit?
Just like “mg” measures medication and “ml” measures liquids, “units” measure the strength and amount of Botox Injectable.
One unit of Botox is the amount required to attain a specific level of muscle relaxation. The more units used, the greater the degree of muscle relaxation. Larger animation muscles require more units than smaller, more delicate areas.
