Botox Treatments – Smooth Wrinkles, Refresh Your Look at Minnerva Clinic
Visible lines and wrinkles, like crow's feet or forehead furrows, can make you look older or more tired than you feel. These "expression lines" often develop over time from repeated facial movements. At Minnerva Clinic, we offer Botox treatments, a highly trusted and effective non-surgical solution to safely relax these muscles, smoothing out wrinkles and giving your face a more youthful, refreshed appearance.
Our experienced doctors at Minnerva Clinic in Lucknow specialize in using Botox with precision and an artistic touch. We aim to reduce unwanted lines while maintaining your natural expressions, helping you look like the best version of yourself.
Understanding Wrinkles & How Botox Helps
Facial wrinkles can be broadly categorized:
- Dynamic Wrinkles: These are caused by muscle movement when you make expressions (like frowning, smiling, or squinting). Common examples include forehead lines, frown lines (between the eyebrows), and crow's feet (around the eyes).
- Static Wrinkles: These wrinkles are present even when your face is at rest. They can result from sun damage, aging, loss of collagen, and lifestyle factors.
How Botox Works:
Botox is a purified protein that, when injected in tiny amounts into specific facial muscles, temporarily relaxes them. By reducing the muscle activity that causes dynamic wrinkles, Botox helps to:
- Smooth out existing expression lines.
- Prevent new lines from forming or deepening.
It is most effective for dynamic wrinkles. Our doctors will assess your concerns to determine if Botox is the best solution for you.
Common areas treated with Botox include:
- Forehead lines
- Frown lines (glabella)
- Crow's feet
- Bunny lines (on the nose)
- Chin dimpling
- Lines around the mouth (smoker's lines - though often combined with fillers here)
- Neck bands

Botox Results & Aftercare: Look Refreshed
Seeing Your Results:
You'll typically start to see the effects of Botox within 3 to 5 days, with the full results becoming visible around 10 to 14 days after your treatment. Your skin will appear smoother, and facial lines will be noticeably softened.
How Long Do Results Last?
The results of Botox usually last for about 3 to 4 months. As muscle action gradually returns, the lines and wrinkles will begin to reappear, and you may choose to have a repeat treatment to maintain the effect.
Simple Aftercare:
- Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated areas for at least 24 hours.
- Try to remain upright for about 4 hours after treatment.
- Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, or heavy alcohol consumption on the day of treatment.
- You can usually apply makeup a few hours after the procedure if desired.
Our doctor will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions.
