How Botox Works
Botox works by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for dynamic facial expressions — such as frowning, squinting, or raising the eyebrows. Over time, repeated muscle activity leads to lines and wrinkles. By reducing this movement, Botox smooths existing lines and helps prevent new ones from forming.
Where It's Used
It's most commonly used in the forehead, between the brows, and around the eyes. Our certified physicians administer Botox with precision, preserving your natural expression while delivering visible, refined results.
Botox
Dr. Ortiz plans each indication separately so dosing, device settings, downtime, and follow-up match the exact concern.
Masseter Botox for jaw tension and lower-face slimming
Precise neuromodulator placement can soften overactive masseter muscles, reduce clenching-related bulk, and create a more tapered lower-face contour over several weeks.
- Duration
- 15–30 min
- Downtime
- None
- Planning
- Dose based on muscle strength
- Conservative dosing protects chewing strength.
- Results build gradually over 4–8 weeks.
- Maintenance is commonly every 4–6 months.
Neck Botox for platysmal band softening
For visible vertical neck bands, Botox can relax selected platysma fibers and help the neck look smoother at rest and during expression.
- Duration
- 20 min
- Downtime
- None
- Planning
- Per clinical dosing plan
- Best for dynamic bands, not loose skin alone.
- Can pair with Sculptra or energy treatments when collagen support is needed.
Trap-tox for shoulder line refinement
Strategic trapezius dosing can soften bulky upper traps and create a longer-looking neck and shoulder line when anatomy and muscle pattern are appropriate.
- Duration
- 20–30 min
- Downtime
- None
- Planning
- Higher-dose area
- Planning prioritizes posture, comfort, and strength.
- Visible contour change is gradual and dose-dependent.
Botox brow lift for subtle lid opening
Small, balanced injections can reduce downward pull around the brows and create a subtle lifted look without changing your natural expression.
- Duration
- 15 min
- Downtime
- None
- Planning
- Often paired with forehead planning
- Best for mild heaviness from muscle pull.
- Not a substitute for surgical correction when skin excess is significant.
Crow's-feet Botox for brighter expression
Targeted treatment around the outer eyes softens smile lines while preserving enough movement for a natural, warm expression.
- Duration
- 15 min
- Downtime
- None
- Planning
- Usually bilateral
- Dosing is adjusted for smile strength and eye shape.
- Can pair with CO2 or PRF when texture is also a concern.
Glabella Botox for frown lines
Treating the corrugator and procerus muscles helps soften the 11 lines between the brows and reduce the tired or tense look they can create.
- Duration
- 15 min
- Downtime
- None
- Planning
- Core Botox area
- A conservative plan protects brow position.
- Results usually appear within several days and refine over two weeks.
Forehead Botox for horizontal lines

- Duration
- 15 min
- Downtime
- None
- Planning
- Dose varies by frontalis strength
- Often planned together with glabella or brow lift dosing.
