What Is Botox and How Does It Work?
A Neuromodulator That Smooths Dynamic Wrinkles at the Source
Botox is an FDA-approved neuromodulator made from onabotulinumtoxinA, a purified protein that works by temporarily relaxing targeted facial muscles. These are the same muscles responsible for repeated expressions like frowning, squinting, and raising your eyebrows.
By interrupting nerve signals in overactive areas, Botox helps soften the appearance of:
- Forehead creases
- Frown lines (the “11s” between the brows)
- Crow’s feet around the eyes
Other brands that function similarly include Xeomin, Dysport, and Jeuveau, each with slight variations in formulation or onset time. At Integra, we tailor the selection to your facial anatomy, treatment goals, and lifestyle, not what’s on promotion.
Common Areas Treated With Botox
Targeted Injections Designed for Facial Precision and Harmony
At Integra Wellness & Aesthetics, Botox treatments are never one-size-fits-all. Dr. Busse evaluates facial movement patterns, skin elasticity, and your aesthetic preferences to determine where, and how much, Botox can provide balanced, natural results.
Most common areas treated include:
- Forehead lines – Horizontal creases from frequent raising of the brows
- Frown lines ("11s") – Between-the-eyebrow lines formed when concentrating or scowling
- Crow’s feet – Outer eye wrinkles that appear when smiling or squinting
- Bunny lines – Creases along the nose bridge
- Lip lines – Fine vertical lines above the upper lip
- Chin dimpling – Orange peel texture or muscular puckering
- Neck bands – Vertical lines or cords from the platysma muscle
- Masseter (jaw muscle) – For facial slimming, TMJ discomfort, or teeth grinding
Many patients also explore combination treatments with dermal fillers or TruSculpt iD to support more defined contouring and symmetry.
Botox for Every Patient Goal
From Early Prevention to Masculine Sculpting and Affirming Care
Botox can do far more than smooth lines; it can support how you feel in your skin at every stage of life. At Integra, we design your treatment based on your age, muscle movement, facial structure, and long-term goals.
Popular use cases include:
- Preventative Botox (20s–30s): Soften expression patterns before deeper lines set in
- Corrective Botox (40s–60s): Reduce visible lines without changing your natural expression
- Botox for Men ("Brotox"): Subtle jawline refinement, relaxed forehead tension, professional polish
- Gender-Affirming Botox: Support softer or more angular features, based on identity goals
- Confidence & Presence: Feel refreshed, expressive, and at ease in personal or public spaces
This level of personalization is what sets Integra apart. Botox is never rushed, never upsold, and always aligned with your lifestyle, emotional wellness, and facial anatomy.

How Long Does Botox Last?
Duration Depends on Muscle Movement, Lifestyle, and Treatment Consistency
Most Botox treatments begin working within 3–5 days, with full results in 7–10 days. On average, the effect lasts 3 to 4 months, though some patients notice longer-lasting results after several sessions.
What influences how long Botox lasts?
- Facial muscle activity (more movement = quicker fade)
- Metabolism, stress levels, and sleep quality
- Whether this is your first treatment or a maintenance dose
- Product used (Botox, Xeomin, or other neuromodulators)
Our approach encourages gradual muscle “training” over time, resulting in longer durations and fewer needed touch-ups.
Many Integra patients choose to fold Botox into their seasonal wellness visits or hormone therapy check-ins for added convenience and balance.
What to Expect From Your Botox Appointment
Clear Guidance From Consultation to Results
Every Botox treatment at Integra Wellness & Aesthetics starts with a full facial evaluation and conversation, not a needle.
Here’s how your visit typically flows:
- Personalized consultation: Discuss your goals, concerns, and facial movement patterns
- Facial analysis: Dr. Busse maps injection points based on muscle function and skin condition
- Treatment: Quick, precise injections using ultra-fine needles; most complete within 15–30 minutes
- Aftercare review: Guidance on what to do (and avoid) post-treatment
- Follow-up option: Reassessment and refinement in future appointments
Common post-treatment effects include:
- Mild redness or swelling at injection points (fades in hours)
- Occasional bruising (resolves quickly with Arnica or cool compress)
- Gradual softening of expression lines over the next 3–10 days
No downtime is required; many patients return to work or errands immediately.

How Much Botox Will I Need?
It Depends on the Area, Muscle Strength, and Aesthetic Goals
At Integra, Botox dosage is determined by facial anatomy, not marketing bundles.
Estimated Botox units by area:
- Forehead lines: 10–20 units
- Frown lines ("11s"): 15–25 units
- Crow’s feet: 5–15 units per side
- Lip lines: 4–8 units
- Masseter (jaw muscle): 25–50 units per side
- Neck bands: 20–40 units, depending on muscle strength
Factors like age, gender, muscle size, and desired level of softness all play a role. That’s why we always start conservatively and refine as your goals evolve.

Botox vs Fillers: What’s the Difference?
Understanding the Role of Neuromodulators vs Volume Restoration
Patients often ask: Should I get Botox or fillers? The answer depends on what you’re trying to address.
| Adds volume beneath the skin | Mechanism Relaxes muscle movement | Adds volume beneath the skin |
| Targets | Forehead lines, crow’s feet, frown lines | Lips, cheeks, under eyes, temples |
| Duration | 3–4 months | 6–24 months, depending on the product |
| Brands | Botox, Xeomin, Dysport, Jeuveau | Juvederm, Restylane, Sculptra, Bellafill |
At Integra, many patients use both in tandem, a technique often called a “liquid facelift”, to address both dynamic movement and volume loss.
