What is Botox® Cosmetic?

Botox® Cosmetic is a brand-name product manufactured by Allergan.
Millions of men and women use this popular non-surgical cosmetic treatment to smooth out facial lines and wrinkles temporarily.

  • It’s the first and only treatment FDA-approved to temporarily make moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines look better in adults.
  • Treatment requires minimal downtime. You can return to your daily routine immediately after you leave SkinOvations’s office.
  • You may notice results within 24 to 48 hours—full results in 30 days.
  • It delivers predictable, subtle results, enhancing natural beauty by making your facial lines and wrinkles less noticeable.

How does Botox® Cosmetic work?

A combination of factors causes facial lines, such as cellular changes, reduction of collagen, or damage caused by free radicals from the sun and the environment. The repetition of muscle contractions from frowning, squinting, or raising eyebrows causes the skin to furrow and fold, gradually forming facial lines.

BOTOX® Cosmetic works beneath the surface and temporarily reduces the underlying muscle activity by blocking nerve signals to the muscles, which prevents them from contracting and causing wrinkles.

What to expect with BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment?

Some patients receiving BOTOX® Cosmetic report the injections feel like a pinch. You may notice a visible smoothing of frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines within 24 to 48 hours, with full results in 30 days lasting up to 4 months for moderate to severe frown lines.
 
BOTOX® Cosmetic is not a permanent treatment. If you discontinue treatment, the moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead lines will gradually return.
