What is
Botox Cosmetic?
When you smile, laugh, or frown, you contract the muscles of your face. With time, these contractions produce permanent lines in the skin. These wrinkles can make you look older, sad, tired, or permanently angry. BOTOX® Cosmetic not only prevents you from deepening these lines during natural facial expressions, it eliminates these signs of aging, leaving you looking younger and more revitalized.
BOTOX® Cosmetic is one of the most frequently performed non-surgical procedures in the U.S. This anti-aging treatment involves a series of tiny injections into the skin to inhibit muscle activity that causes wrinkles to form.
BOTOX Cosmetic is an FDA-approved injectable product that contains a purified form of botulinum toxin type A. It temporarily prevents certain muscle groups from contracting and creating folds in your facial skin. Interference in the action of these muscles allows these dynamic wrinkles to soften and become much less noticeable.

How Many
Botox Cosmetic Treatments Are Needed in a Year?
Depending on the extent of wrinkles and the areas that need to be treated, patients may need to visit three to four times in the first year and fewer injections may be needed subsequently as the muscles adapt to the relaxation. Since each individual responds differently, the medical professional is the best person to advise on the required number of treatments in a year.

Side Effects of Botox Cosmetic?
Refrain from strenuous activity such as a cardio workout for 24 hours after the injection.
Immediately following BOTOX® treatment, some patients may experience minor bruising at one or more of the injection sites. Results are apparent as soon as several days after the treatment and continue to improve up to ten days. The effects of BOTOX® Cosmetic typically last 3-4 months, although results may vary.
