BOTOX® Cosmetic injection is among the most frequently performed cosmetic procedures because of its unique effectiveness and safety in treating certain types of facial wrinkles. BOTOX® Cosmetic is an excellent treatment for the vertical forehead creases that develop between the eyes, making you look sad or angry. BOTOX® Cosmetic can also be used in treating horizontal forehead lines and the crow's feet area around your eyes. BOTOX® Cosmetic injected in the lower face and neck muscle (platysma) may provide temporary improvement in some of the visible signs of aging in these areas.
BOTOX® Cosmetic works by blocking the transmission of impulses from the nerve cells to the muscle. This causes a temporary and harmless muscle weakening or paralysis, so the muscles that cause certain types of wrinkles become inactive. The result is the temporary elimination or reduction of those wrinkles.
BOTOX® Cosmetic injections can usually be performed in just minutes and with little or no discomfort. Most often, you will notice the effects of BOTOX® Cosmetic within 48 to 72 hours after injection. On average, results last about 4 months. You can keep your results with periodic maintenance treatments.
