Neuromodulator injections are among the most popular cosmetic treatments in the U.S., and Botox® has become a household name thanks to its proven results and versatility. From smoothing frown lines on the brow to slimming the lower face and subtly reshaping the nose, Botox is a favorite for non-surgical facial rejuvenation. At Eden Plastic Surgery Institute in Miami, Florida, we offer expert Botox treatments performed with precision and artistry to deliver natural-looking results.
What Is Botox and How Does It Work?
Botox Cosmetic has been FDA-approved for aesthetic use since 2002, though its medical applications date back even further—originally gaining FDA approval in 1989 to treat certain eye spasms. Botox works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that cause muscles to contract. This relaxation effect reduces dynamic muscle movement, softening lines and preventing new wrinkles from forming.
For cosmetic use, Botox is most commonly used to smooth the forehead lines, glabellar “11” lines, and crow’s feet, but it can also address bunny lines across the nose, masseter hypertrophy for facial slimming, and even create subtle lifts such as a nasal tip lift or brow lift. Results typically last 3–4 months, with minimal downtime and a high safety profile. Millions of Botox injections are performed each year, and many patients use it regularly to maintain a youthful appearance.

Botox treatments are quick and convenient, often completed in less than 30 minutes, and can easily be scheduled during a lunch break. While results are not immediate, most patients begin to see visible improvement within 5–7 days. To maintain results, treatments can be repeated every few months as part of a personalized anti-aging plan.
Is Botox Right for You?
If you have dynamic lines or wrinkles—such as frown lines, crow’s feet, bunny lines, or enlarged masseter muscles—or if you experience migraines or hyperhidrosis, Botox may be an excellent treatment option. Neuromodulator injections are safe for most healthy adults, though they are not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
