What BOTOX® Cosmetic Can Achieve
Reduction of Forehead Lines
- The repetitive motion of muscles over the years can lead to creases and lines across the forehead.
- BOTOX® Cosmetic, when injected into the muscles under the skin, will inhibit muscle contractions and reduce the appearance of horizontal forehead creases.
Smoother Skin Around the Mouth
- Aging increases the appearance of lines, wrinkles, and other facial imperfections on the lower half of the face, particularly around the nose and lips.
- BOTOX® Cosmetic will correct these imperfections and restore smooth, youthful skin.

BOTOX® Cosmetic Treatment
How It Works
BOTOX® Cosmetic is made from a sterile, purified form of botulinum toxin A. It works by blocking the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that activates muscle movement. In blocking the release of acetylcholine, BOTOX® Cosmetic keeps the injected muscles from moving, preventing lines and wrinkles from appearing.
Treatment Duration
BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments are done in our office and take approximately 10 minutes, though this can vary slightly depending on your desired treatment area.
Recovery & Results
It is typical to experience bruising at the injection site, but this can easily be concealed with makeup. You will notice your wrinkles gradually reducing over the next few days. Results from BOTOX® Cosmetic do not last forever, and for optimum results, treatment should be repeated every three to four months.
