Botox Cosmetics
BOTOX® Cosmetic is the only approved treatment to temporarily improve the appearance of both moderate to severe frown lines between the brows and crow’s feet lines in adults.
BOTOX® Cosmetic focuses on one of the underlying causes of frown lines and crow’s feet—the repeated muscle contractions from frowning and squinting over a generous period of time. Your specialist will inject these muscles with BOTOX® Cosmetic to temporarily reduce muscle activity. You will start to notice a visible smoothing of your crow’s feet lines and frown lines between your brows.
You may start to notice results within 24 to 48 hours for moderate to severe frown lines, with results lasting up to 4 months.
Some patients report that being injected with BOTOX® Cosmetic feels like a pinch. Your specialist may use ice to numb the treatment area. If you are concerned about discomfort, your specialist may apply a topical numbing cream before administering your treatment.
The actual injection process takes about 10 minutes. Your specialist will discuss your treatment goals and perform a facial analysis to determine the appropriate treatment areas for you.
Treatment requires minimal downtime or recovery so you can return to your daily routine immediately; it’s often called a lunchtime procedure.
