Frequently Asked Questions

What is BOTOX® Cosmetic and why is it used?
BOTOX® Cosmetic is an FDA approved safe and effective non-surgical physician administered treatment used to temporarily reverse the visible signs of aging and deep lines and wrinkles such as crow's feet, frown lines and forehead lines. During treatment, very low doses of BOTOX® Cosmetic are administered via a few tiny injections directly into the muscles that cause those stubborn lines. The treatment is usually done in about 10 minutes, and no recovery time is needed. Within days, you may see an improvement that can last up to 4 months. Results may vary.

What are BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments like?
BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments are simple with only minimal discomfort and take only a few minutes time. No preparation is needed prior to a treatment. Using a tiny micro-needle, a small amount of BOTOX® Cosmetic is injected into the overactive facial muscles in the regions to be treated. Normal activity can be resumed immediately following a treatment.

How does BOTOX® Cosmetic work?
Those moderate to severe frown lines between your brows form over time as the result of muscle activity. BOTOX® Cosmetic is injected directly into the muscles between your brows. It works by blocking the transmission of nerve impulses to the injected muscles; this reduces the activity of the muscles that cause those persistent lines to form.

What are the expected results of BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments?
BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments are a very effective means of reducing dynamic facial wrinkles such as crow's feet, frown lines and forehead lines leading to a more youthful, pleasant appearance. The vast majority of patients are very pleased with their results and find their results improve with sequential treatments.

How do BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments work?
Dynamic facial wrinkles, one of the most prominent visible signs of aging, result from repeated contraction of certain facial muscles. Botox injections cause these muscles to relax which softens overlying skin wrinkles.

When will I see results from a BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment?
Within days, you may see a marked improvement in the moderate to severe frown lines between your brows. Lines continue to improve for up to a month, and results can last for up to 4 months. In clinical trials, nearly 90% of men and women rated the improvement in their appearance as moderate to better 1 month after treatment. Results may vary.

How long do BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments last?
BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments generally last between three to six months so that two or three treatments a year are sufficient to maintain a more youthful, pleasant appearance. The first few times you will probably need to have the injections every 3 months. After this the facial muscles weaken significantly so that you may be able to 4 to 6 months between injections.

Will my facial expressions continue to look natural?
Although the results are visible, a treatment with BOTOX® Cosmetic will not radically change your facial appearance or make you look as if you "had work done." The muscle activity that causes frown lines between the brows is simply reduced, so you can still frown or look surprised without the wrinkles and creases between your brows.

Are BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments safe?
BOTOX® Cosmetic has been safely used for over a decade to treatment a variety of medical conditions. When used to treat facial wrinkles, the most common side effect is temporary bruising at the injection site. Rarely, BOTOX® Cosmetic injections can cause temporary weakness of adjacent facial muscles leading to asymmetry of facial expression or a drooping eyelid. All side effects are temporary, with most lasting no more than a few weeks.
