Smooth, Natural-Looking Results With Botox® Cosmetic
Jan 20, 2026
Fine lines and wrinkles are a natural part of aging—but they don’t have to define your appearance. At Redwood Empire Dermatology, our board-certified dermatologists and cosmetic specialists offer Botox® Cosmetic, one of the most popular and effective treatments for softening expression lines and restoring a refreshed, youthful look.
Whether you’re starting to notice frown lines or want to maintain a smooth, confident appearance, Botox can help you look like the best version of yourself—never frozen, always natural.
What Is Botox® Cosmetic?
Botox is an FDA-approved injectable treatment made from a purified protein that temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles—creases that form from repetitive expressions like smiling, frowning, or squinting.
Common areas we treat include:
With precise technique, Botox smooths these lines while maintaining your natural expression.
How Botox Works
Movement-based wrinkles form because the underlying facial muscles contract over and over again. Botox temporarily blocks the nerve signal to those muscles, allowing them to relax. This softens existing lines and helps prevent deeper creases from forming in the future.
The treatment takes only 10–15 minutes, requires no downtime, and results look their best within 7–14 days.
