Description

BOTOX® Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA), a prescription medicine, is a purified protein that temporarily improves the look of moderate-to-severe frown lines between the brows and around the eyes in adults younger than 65 years of age. We were also one of the first practices to utilize BOTOX® Cosmetic for the reduction of the masseter muscles that can cause the jaw to look too square or bulky.

Introduced in 2002, BOTOX® Cosmetic is the first botulinum toxin to be approved by the FDA for stubborn frown lines between the brows. Approximately 11.8 million BOTOX® Cosmetic procedures have been administered in the United States since 2002. 92% of 303 patients surveyed were satisfied with the results of their BOTOX®Cosmetic experience.

How it works

BOTOX® is a simple, nonsurgical treatment that is injected directly into the muscles between the brows and works by blocking nerve impulses to the injected muscles. This reduces muscle activity that causes persistent lines to form between the brows.

Good for

Smoothing the frown/worry lines and wrinkles on the forehead, between the eyebrows and around the eyes, and improve the appearance of an angry or unhappy look caused by these furrows for a more flawless, youthful complexion.

Recovery Time

Normal activities can be resumed immediately after treatment. Just like any injection, you may experience mild irritation, swelling, itching, redness, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site. These side effects typically resolve on their own.
