What
is BOTOX® Cosmetic?
Botox® Cosmetic is the only FDA-approved treatment for the
temporary reduction of moderate to severe worry lines, frown
lines, laugh lines, crow’s feet and other dynamic wrinkles.
It requires no recovery time and causes little discomfort.
How
does Botox® Cosmetic work?
Botox® Cosmetic blocks impulses from the nerve to the tiny
facial muscles that are related to expression lines. Botox® Cosmetic
relaxes the muscles so they do not contract. After the treatment,
the overlying skin remains smooth and unwrinkled while the
untreated facial muscles contract in a normal fashion, allowing
normal facial expression to be unaffected.
What is the treatment
like?
Botox® Cosmetic is a quick and minimally invasive treatment.
The doctor makes a few tiny injections into the desired muscle
area. No anesthesia is required, although the doctor can
numb the area with a cold pack or anesthetic cream prior
to injecting
for your comfort.
How long does Botox® Cosmetic
last?
Within days, you may see a noticeable improvement that can
last up to four months. Be sure to schedule your follow-up
treatments in advance. If you decide not to continue with
Botox® Cosmetic, the area treated will eventually go
back to its pretreatment appearance.
