Botox
What is Botox?
Botox is a popular cosmetic treatment that reduces wrinkles and fine lines by relaxing the underlying facial muscles. It is commonly used to address forehead lines, crow’s feet, frown lines, and other facial wrinkles.
The procedure involves injecting a purified form of botulinum toxin into targeted areas, which blocks nerve signals to the muscles, resulting in a smoother complexion.
At White Pearl Medical Spa, we administer Botox injections for a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.
Our skilled professionals ensure safe and precise application, helping clients achieve their desired aesthetic goals with natural-looking results.

How Does Botox Procedure Work?
Botox injections using a fine needle into targeted facial muscles. Before the procedure, we carefully assess the individual’s facial anatomy and determine the optimal injection sites. The amount of Botox required varies depending on the treatment area and desired results.
The injections are strategically placed, temporarily relaxing the muscles and reducing wrinkles. The procedure is relatively quick and does not require anesthesia.
Patients may experience minimal discomfort, and any potential side effects are typically mild and temporary. Results can be seen within a few days and last for several months.
