Botox

Refresh Your Look. Keep Your Expression.

Botox is a simple, non-surgical treatment that softens fine lines and wrinkles caused by repeated facial movement. It helps you look more rested and refreshed without changing who you are. At Puget Sound Work Injury Clinic, Botox treatments are performed by experienced medical providers who understand both facial anatomy and natural results. Our goal is subtle enhancement, not a “frozen” look.

What Is Botox?

Botox is the brand name for a purified form of botulinum toxin type A. When injected in small, precise amounts, it temporarily relaxes targeted muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles — the lines that form from smiling, frowning, squinting, and raising your eyebrows. By relaxing those muscles, the overlying skin appears smoother and softer.

Common treatment areas include:

  • Forehead lines

  • Crow’s feet around the eyes

  • Bunny lines (nose wrinkles)
