What is BOTOX® Cosmetic?
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a protein injected in small doses into muscles that cause frown lines and relaxes the muscles to smooth the brow and facial lines.
Is BOTOX® Cosmetic safe?
BOTOX® has been around in various forms for the last 10 years and is an FDA approved treatment.
Where does the BOTOX® Cosmetic go once injected?
The BOTOX® Cosmetic generally stays localized in the treated muscle and eventually disappears without breaking down or traveling through the body.
How long does BOTOX® Cosmetic last for?
After the first treatment, the treated muscles will remain relaxed for about 4 months after which the lines will revert to their pretreated appearance. Subsequent injections of BOTOX® Cosmetic may last longer, even up to 6 months
What can I expect from a BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment?
In the 10 minute treatment, small amounts of BOTOX® Cosmetic are injected into specific areas of the facial muscles to produce the best results. It can take a few days or up to a week until the BOTOX® Cosmetic reaches maximum affect, dramatically reducing facial lines.
Are BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments painful?
The 10 minute treatment is virtually painless—some describe the feeling as being similar to a bug bite. Although an anesthetic is not necessary, some choose to use a topical anesthetic or cold packs to numb the area slightly before the treatment. Most people can return to work or normal activity immediately.
