Refined. Reliable. Recognizable.
At Metamorphosis, we believe subtle, artful enhancements create the most beautiful transformations. Botox
has been the gold standard in wrinkle softening and prevention for over 20 years. While other neurotoxins like
Dysport, Jeuveau, Xeomin, and Daxxify are also FDA-approved, Botox remains one of the most trusted
names in aesthetics - delivering consistent, natural-looking results for millions worldwide.
What Makes Botox Different
Botox contains onabotulinumtoxinA, a purified protein that temporarily relaxes targeted facial muscles. This
precision targeting softens existing lines, prevents new wrinkles, and allows your expressions to remain
natural.
Although other neurotoxins work similarly, Botox stands out for its:
- Proven track record with decades of safety and efficacy data
- Consistency in results across treatment areas
Recognition as the most widely known neurotoxin worldwide - Precise formulation that allows for refined, predictable outcomes
Patients often choose Botox because they know exactly what to expect - a refreshed look without appearing
'frozen'.
How Botox Works
Dynamic wrinkles form over time from repetitive muscle movements like frowning, squinting, and smiling.
Botox works by blocking the nerve signals that cause these muscles to contract. As the muscles relax, the
skin above them smooths, softening lines and preventing new ones from forming.
The result? A natural, well-rested appearance that still looks like you - just more refreshed.
Who Benefits Most from Botox
Botox is ideal for adults who want to:
- Reduce the appearance of frown lines between the eyebrows ('11' lines)
- Smooth horizontal forehead lines
- Soften crow's feet around the eyes
- Refine nasal 'bunny' lines
- Lift the brow for a more open look
- Enhance the lips with a subtle 'lip flip'
- Correct a gummy smile
- Soften a downturned mouth (DAO treatment)
- Relax chin dimpling ('pebble chin')
- Slim the jawline and ease jaw tension (masseter/TMJ treatment)

BOTOX Cosmetic Procedure and Results
Using a very fine needle, BOTOX Cosmetic is injected directly into facial muscles that are causing furrows and lines. Receiving the injections requires no anesthetic, but some providers choose to numb the area to be injected with ice packs or a topical anesthetic cream. Results can usually be seen within a few days of treatment, and typically last up to four months, although areas that are treated on a regular basis may retain results longer. Injections should be given only by qualified medical professionals.
Side Effects of BOTOX Cosmetic
Injection-site side effects of BOTOX Cosmetic are usually mild and temporary, and include the following:
- Redness, swelling, mild tenderness, or bruising where the Botox was injected.
- Drooping eyelid or eyebrow (ptosis): Usually temporary, occurring if Botox affects nearby muscles.
- Flu-like symptoms: Mild fatigue, body aches, or low-grade fever.
- Difficulty swallowing, speaking, or breathing: Extremely rare, more likely when used in higher medical doses
rather than cosmetic ones. - Allergic reactions: Rash, itching, or swelling (seek immediate medical attention if severe).
Normal activities may be resumed immediately after receiving injections.
