What Is Botox?

Botox is a non-surgical injectable treatment that temporarily relaxes targeted facial muscles to reduce wrinkles, fine lines, and expression-related folds.
At QD Plastic Surgery, Dr. Hong uses genuine, medical-grade botulinum toxin to deliver smooth, natural-looking results — not a “frozen” expression.

Who Can Benefit from Botox?

Botox is suitable for both men and women who want to:

• Smooth forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines
• Soften smile lines or chin dimples
• Achieve a slimmer jawline (square jaw reduction)
• Reduce neck bands or wrinkles
• Control excessive sweating (armpits, palms, or face)
• Prevent early aging by stopping new wrinkles from forming

How Botox Works

Botox temporarily blocks nerve signals that cause muscles to contract. When injected in small amounts into specific facial muscles, it allows the skin above to relax and smooth out.
The result is a fresher, calmer, and more youthful appearance — typically lasting 4–6 months.
