What Is Botox?
Botox (botulinum toxin type A) is an FDA-approved neurotoxin that temporarily relaxes facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles. Botox has been safely used for cosmetic purposes since 2002,1 with millions of treatments performed worldwide each year.
This minimally invasive cosmetic treatment works by blocking nerve signals to targeted muscles, preventing the repetitive contractions that create lines and wrinkles over time. The result is smoother, more youthful-looking skin without the need for surgery or extended downtime.
Botox is a purified protein derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. When injected in small, controlled amounts by a qualified medical professional, Botox temporarily blocks nerve signals to targeted facial muscles, preventing them from contracting and forming wrinkles.

Botox is a purified protein derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. When injected in small, controlled amounts by a qualified medical professional, Botox temporarily blocks nerve signals to targeted facial muscles, preventing them from contracting and forming wrinkles.
“The beauty of Botox lies in its ability to soften expression lines while preserving natural facial movement,” explains Dr. Dadurian. “When administered properly, patients maintain their ability to express emotions naturally while enjoying smoother, more youthful-looking skin.”
How Does Botox Work?
Botox functions by temporarily interrupting communication between nerves and muscles. When injected into specific facial muscles, the neurotoxin blocks the release of acetylcholine, a chemical messenger that triggers muscle contractions.
The treatment process involves precise injections using ultra-fine needles, targeting specific muscles responsible for wrinkle formation. Dr. Dadurian’s extensive training in internal medicine and aesthetic procedures ensures optimal placement for natural-looking results while maintaining facial expression and movement.

“Every patient receives a customized treatment plan based on their unique facial anatomy, aesthetic goals, and medical history,” explains Dr. Dadurian. “This personalized approach ensures natural-looking results that enhance rather than alter your natural beauty.”

Can I combine other treatments with Botox?
Absolutely! Botox works beautifully in combination with dermal fillers, chemical peels, microneedling, and professional skincare treatments. During your consultation, Dr. Dadurian will assess your individual needs and may recommend a comprehensive treatment plan to address signs of aging and other concerns that includes complementary procedures, such as MD Beauty Labs’ signature treatments for facial rejuvenation, to achieve your optimal results.
How much does Botox cost in West Palm Beach?
Botox pricing varies based on the number of units needed and treatment areas. During your consultation, we’ll provide transparent pricing and discuss payment options, including CareCredit financing and Cherry, to make your treatment affordable and accessible.
Is there an age limit for Botox treatments?
While Botox is FDA-approved for adults 18 and older, the ideal age varies by individual. Some patients begin preventative treatments in their late twenties, while others start in their forties or fifties. Dr. Dadurian will assess your specific needs and recommend the most appropriate timing for your treatments.
How long do I need to wait between Botox treatments?
Most patients schedule maintenance treatments every 3 to 4 months to maintain optimal results. However, some individuals may find their results last longer with regular treatment, as muscles may become trained to contract less forcefully over time.
What is the difference between Botox, Daxxify, Xeomin, and Dysport, Letybo and Jeuveau?
Botox, Daxxify, Xeomin, and Dysport are all botulinum toxin type A injectables that soften dynamic wrinkles by relaxing targeted muscles, but they differ in formulation and performance. Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA) is the long-time benchmark. Dysport (abobotulinumtoxinA) has a different unit scale and can diffuse slightly more broadly, which some providers utilize to their advantage in larger areas. Xeomin (incobotulinumtoxinA) is a “naked” toxin, devoid of accessory proteins, a feature some clinicians prefer for patients who’ve plateaued with other brands. Daxxify (daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm) utilizes a peptide stabilizer and is designed for a longer duration—typically around 6 months, compared to ~3–4 months for the others. Units aren’t interchangeable, so brand and dosing are tailored to your anatomy and goals.
