Botox Cosmetic®
What is Botox Cosmetic®?
Botox Cosmetic® is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles and used to improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) in people 18 to 65 years of age for a short period of time (temporary). Botox Cosmetic® is administered by a physician as a simple, nonsurgical treatment that is injected directly into the muscles between the brows. Individual results may vary.

How does Botox Cosmetic® work?
Botox Cosmetic® is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles and used to improve the look of the "11s"- the moderate-to-severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines). It works by blocking nerve impulses to the injected muscles. This reduces muscle activity that causes moderate to severe lines to form between the brows.

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 30 days, and results can last for up to 4 months. Individual results may vary.

Is treatment with Botox Cosmetic® painful?
Any discomfort related to Botox Cosmetic® is usually minimal and brief. Prior to injection, your physician may choose to numb the area with a cold pack or anesthetic cream. The entire procedure takes approximately 10 minutes. Most patients are in and out of the physician’s office without downtime following Botox Cosmetic® treatment. Potential side effects associated with the injection include localized pain, infection, inflammation, tenderness, swelling, redness, and/or bleeding/bruising.

Will I still be able to make facial expressions?
Although the results are visible, a treatment with Botox Cosmetic® (onabotulinumtoxinA) will not radically change your facial appearance or make you look as if you’ve "had work done." The muscle activity that causes frown lines between the brows is temporarily reduced, so you can still frown or look surprised without wrinkles and creases between your brows.
