Botox is a purified protein that is injected in small doses into specific facial muscles. It temporarily reduces muscle activity, so the lines caused by repeated contraction (frown lines, forehead lines, crow's feet) soften and new wrinkles form more slowly. Treatment is tailored to your anatomy: we inject the right muscles in the right doses so you still have natural expression while looking rested and refreshed. Over-treatment causes a frozen or heavy look; we aim for balance.

Results typically appear within a few days and peak at one to two weeks. The effect lasts three to four months on average; with regular use, some patients find they can extend the interval as muscles become trained to contract less. Botox does not fill lines or add volume—for that, dermal fillers or skin resurfacing may be recommended in addition. At The Sculptique Aesthetics we assess your lines at rest and in animation and explain which areas we recommend treating and what to expect.

Ideal candidates are adults who want to soften frown lines, forehead lines or crow's feet without surgery. Botox works best on dynamic wrinkles—lines that appear when you move your face. It is not a treatment for static lines that are visible at rest; those may need filler or skin treatments. Good candidates are in good general health and have no allergy to botulinum toxin or conditions that would make injection unsafe.

We do not inject during pregnancy or breastfeeding. During your consultation in Mumbai we will examine your face at rest and in animation, discuss your goals and explain the treatment plan and aftercare.
