HOW BOTOX WORKS

Botox works by relaxing the facial muscles that cause wrinkles from repeated expressions—smoothing existing lines and helping prevent new ones from forming.

For enhanced results, Botox may be combined with other non-surgical treatments such as:

Dermal Fillers for restoring volume
Morpheus8 for tightening and resurfacing
CO2Lift® Carboxy Gel for deep hydration

These treatments are often integrated into Dr. Hazen’s Longevity Protocols, designed to support healthy skin aging from within and create naturally radiant, long-lasting results.

For a deeper understanding of how Botox works and whether it’s right for you, Dr. Hazen has written two highly informative blog posts that offer expert insight:

“Is Botox Right for Me?” — a clear, honest guide to what Botox can (and can’t) do
“To Be or Not to B” — a thoughtful look at myths, expectations, and the art behind natural results

These articles provide valuable background before your consultation and help you understand how neurotoxins fit into a long-term longevity and skin-health strategy.
