What is Botox?
At BalMedSkin, we know it’s not about looking like someone else…it’s about feeling comfortable in your own skin. Botox is one of the most trusted treatments for softening lines and helping you look refreshed without changing who you are. Whether you’re smoothing crow’s feet, softening forehead lines, or giving your smile a little extra confidence, our team is here to guide you through every step.
What Is Botox?
Botox is an FDA-approved wrinkle relaxer that works by gently calming the muscles that cause lines to form with repeated facial expressions. It’s one of the most popular injectable treatments worldwide because it’s quick, safe, and delivers results you can count on. Many of our patients in Bismarck, ND choose Botox to:
- Reduce frown lines between the brows
- Smooth forehead wrinkles
- Minimize crow’s feet around the eyes
- Refine lip lines and “bunny lines” on the nose
- Soften a dimpled chin
- Relax a square jawline or tight neck bands
Botox can also be used for medical purposes, such as reducing migraines, but most patients here at BalMedSkin love it for the way it helps them look rested and confident.

Most healthy adults are candidates for Botox, especially if you’re looking for a nonsurgical option to refresh your look. During your consultation, we’ll talk through your goals and help you decide if Botox…or another injectable like Dysport® or Xeomin®…is the right fit.
You may not be a candidate if you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain muscle or nerve conditions. That’s why we always start with a conversation to make sure treatment is safe and tailored to you.
