Use the Treatment Visualizer to see how BOTOX® Cosmetic can help smooth and soften those stubborn frown lines between your brows, while still allowing you to maintain your natural facial expression.

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a simple, nonsurgical, physician-administered treatment that can temporarily smooth moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in people from 18 to 65 years of age. It is the only treatment of its type approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Take a look at men and women who’ve had BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments, and see for yourself!
One 10-minute treatment—a few tiny injections—and within days there’s a noticeable improvement in moderate to severe frown lines between the brows, which can last up to 4 months. Results may vary.

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium, which reduces the activity of the muscles that cause those frown lines between the brows to form over time.

In 2005, almost 3.3 million procedures were performed with FDA-approved BOTOX® Cosmetic.

Wrinkle Relief

 After years of squinting, laughing, frowning, smoking, and worrying, the skin around the eyes and on the forehead develops deep lines and wrinkles often referred to as “expression lines”. A common concern is that they make us look older, tired, or stressed. Not to worry, expression lines and advanced furrows can be quickly and significantly reduced using BOTOX® Cosmetic.

How long does a BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment last?

Effects usually last three to four months, and then gradually fade away. Following several treatments, results may last four to eight months or even longer.

Are there any possible side effects?

Side effects from BOTOX® Cosmetic, if any occur, are usually mild and temporary. Botulinum toxins contain proteins that, in some circumstances, may be naturally safeguarded against by the body’s ability to produce antibodies. If antibodies are formed, the therapy will generate a lesser response. Temporary bruising sometimes is experienced but resolves within two to three days. In rare cases, there can be a slight drooping of an eyelid or asymmetry of expression. If this should happen, return to your physician.

What type of results will I see?

Typically, the effects of BOTOX® Cosmetic are visible within three days. Maximum benefits are reached between ten to fourteen days. Once the muscle becomes dormant and the skin softens, patients notice a more relaxed and youthful appearance. BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments are not a substitute for a facelift. Depending on your specific goals, optimal results in appearance may be maximized by incorporating BOTOX® Cosmetic therapy with a facelift, laser resurfacing, or a skin rejuvenation procedure.

What is BOTOX® Cosmetic?

 BOTOX® Cosmetic is a therapeutic muscle-relaxing agent derived from a bacterium called Clostridium Botulinum. For over a decade, ophthalmologists have employed BOTOX® Cosmetic for its original intention; the treatment of blepharospasm (abnormal blinking or eyelid tic). Physicians also have been utilizing BOTOX® Cosmetic for years as a cosmetic treatment for correcting visible sign of stress and aging.

How does BOTOX® Cosmetic work?

 The contractions and movements of our facial muscles are controlled by signals from the brain. BOTOX® Cosmetic simply prevents these muscles from allowing responses to such signals. As a result, the muscles relax and the overlying skin remains unwrinkled and smooth.

What is treatment like?

 With a very fine needle, BOTOX® Cosmetic is injected into the specific muscle that is contracting and causing the facial lines and wrinkles. Treatment is effective, safe, and takes approximately 10 minutes. Pain is a minimal (that of a “pin prick”) and no anesthetic is required. Following treatment, patients immediately resume regular activities.
