Botox is one of the most requested treatments at Lumara Aesthetic Clinic — and one of the most misunderstood. Here’s what it actually is, how it works, and what to expect.
What Is Botox?
Botox (Botulinum Toxin) is a purified protein that temporarily relaxes targeted facial muscles. When injected in small, precise amounts, it softens the dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated facial movement — like forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet.
How Does It Work?
Wrinkles in the upper face are often caused by muscle movement — smiling, frowning, raising your eyebrows. Botox works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals to these specific muscles, so they relax. The skin above smooths out, while the rest of your face moves naturally.
Is Botox Right for You?
Botox is best suited for dynamic wrinkles (lines that appear with movement). For volume loss or static lines, a dermal filler may be more appropriate — often, the two are combined for a balanced result. This is exactly why every Botox treatment at Lumara starts with a proper consultation, not a one-size-fits-all injection.
What to Expect
- The treatment itself takes about 10–15 minutes
- Minimal downtime — most clients return to normal activities the same day
- Results typically appear within 3–7 days and last 3–4 months
