The Science Behind Botox How It Works and What to Expect

Written by

Botox is one of the most popular non-surgical treatments, but how does it actually work?

The Science:

Botox® contains a purified protein that temporarily blocks nerve signals to targeted muscles. This prevents muscle contractions, smoothing wrinkles caused by facial expressions (e.g., frown lines, crow’s feet).

What to Expect: 

  • Procedure:  Quick, with minimal discomfort (numbing cream is optional).
  • Results: Visible in 3–7 days, peaking at 2 weeks.
  • Longevity: Lasts 3–4 months; regular treatments can prolong results.

 Is Botox Safe?

Yes, when administered by certified professionals like the team at Pristine Aesthetics. We use only FDA-approved products to ensure your safety.
