What is Botox?
Botox® is an FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to smooth fine lines and wrinkles caused by repeated facial expressions. At Hayes St. Med Spa in Kansas City, we use Botox to help clients look refreshed and natural—not frozen. By relaxing targeted muscles, Botox softens dynamic wrinkles while preserving your natural beauty and facial expressions.
What does botox treat?
Botox is effective for improving the appearance of:
Forehead lines, Frown lines, Crow’s feet around the eyes, Bunny lines on the nose, Gummy smile, Chin dimpling, Neck bands and Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis). Botox works by relaxing overactive muscles, giving you smoother skin without changing your natural expressions. At Hayes St. Med Spa, we don't over do it. We want you to look like you, just a more refreshed you.

The benefits
After your Botox treatment, you can expect smoother skin and a refreshed, more youthful appearance. Wrinkles and fine lines gradually soften over the course of several days, with full results appearing within 1–2 weeks. The outcome is a natural, relaxed look that still allows you to express yourself—without the heaviness or frozen feel. Results typically last 3–4 months, giving you consistent confidence and a refreshed glow.

Botox is a neuromodulator that temporarily blocks the signals between nerves and muscles. When injected into precise areas, it prevents overactive muscle contractions that cause creases, allowing your skin to relax and appear smoother.
