Lash Botox
Lash botox has nothing to do with botulinum toxin. No injection is involved, nothing is administered by a medical professional, and the name is purely a marketing borrowing meant to suggest a smoothing effect. What it actually is: a salon conditioning treatment in which a protein-rich mask — typically containing ingredients such as keratin, amino acids, collagen and vitamins — is applied to the lashes and left to sit before being rinsed off.

Overview
Because the name causes confusion so reliably, it is worth being blunt: this is a cosmetic conditioning service, not a medical procedure, and any salon presenting it as an injectable or as medical work is misrepresenting it. Ask what is in the product and what the salon expects it to do before you book.
As a treatment, it is aimed at how lashes look and feel — clients commonly describe them as softer, glossier, less dry and easier to brush after a session. It is often offered as an add-on to a lash lift or after a set of extensions is removed. Some product lines include a mild shaping step, in which case it overlaps with a lift; others are purely conditioning. Duration and the noticeable difference vary by salon and product line, typically a few weeks.
How it works
The lower lashes are shielded and the lashes are cleaned so nothing blocks the product. The mask is then applied along the lashes, sometimes in two or three stages from different bottles, and left for a set time, occasionally with gentle warmth. Everything is then removed, the lashes are dried and combed through. A session typically takes twenty to forty minutes on its own, or is folded into a lift appointment. The product coats the lash surface cosmetically; it washes off gradually over the following days.
