BOTOX Cosmetic
Your skin develops the most telling signs of aging. Over time, you may notice unwanted wrinkles and creases that weren’t there before.
BOTOX® Cosmetic relaxes specific facial muscles, making lines and wrinkles much less prominent. Treatment usually takes only 10 minutes.
What makes BOTOX Cosmetic such a popular treatment?
Satisfying Results In a Very Short Amount of Time
Fast Treatment
Although the actual length of your procedure will vary depending on your desired outcomes, most BOTOX Cosmetic treatments are completed in a 10-minute session.
Fast Recovery
Your doctor will use a small needle to inject BOTOX Cosmetic with minimal discomfort. A topical anesthetic is available upon request. You can return to all non-strenuous activity immediately after treatment.
Fast Results
The rejuvenating effects of BOTOX Cosmetic are noticeable within a few days, and most patients achieve their desired results within two weeks. You can expect the results to last three to six months before requiring re-treatment.

Does BOTOX Cosmetic Hurt?
While any injection can hurt, BOTOX Cosmetic treatment uses very small needles, resulting in minimal discomfort. The treatment area can be numbed with a topical anesthetic or a cold pack for further comfort.
After treatment, it is possible to experience some redness, minor pain, and light bruising. However, side effects typically subside within days of treatment.

What to Expect
Preparing for Your Appointment
In order to ensure the best possible outcomes, you should avoid using alcohol, tobacco, and anti-inflammatory medications prior to treatment. These can increase the risk of bleeding and bruising.
Consultation with Your Doctor
During your consultation, you should point out your areas of concern to help your doctor determine the best placement of your injections.
Day of Treatment
Although most patients do not require anesthesia, your doctor can apply a topical numbing cream to your skin. Next, he or she will use a small needle to inject BOTOX Cosmetic.
After Your Appointment
You can return to your normal activities immediately after treatment. However, be careful to avoid applying pressure to the treatment areas. You should also avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours.
Enjoy Your Results
Results should be visible within three days, with maximum effects visible within two weeks.

Investing in BOTOX Cosmetic Provides Many Benefits
Long-term use can stop wrinkles from getting worse over time for an overall more youthful appearance.
No matter what "miracle cream" you choose, you won't see the same results as with a BOTOX Cosmetic treatment.
Undergoing surgical rejuvenation involves more money, more downtime, and more discomfort.
Will BOTOX Cosmetic solve all of my aging concerns?
Deciding What's Right for You
BOTOX Cosmetic injections are extremely popular, but there are other ways to turn back the clock. For example, deeper folds and wrinkles may be better treated with dermal fillers. Surgical procedures such as fat grafting may be more appropriate for patients with allergies. Alternatively, a facelift can provide more comprehensive and long-lasting outcomes for patients with pronounced signs of aging that BOTOX Cosmetic cannot address. Your doctor can help you decide which procedure is right for you during your consultation.
As a less invasive and less expensive alternative to cosmetic surgery, BOTOX Cosmetic can improve your self-confidence without incisions, sutures, or downtime. Schedule a consultation to find out if BOTOX Cosmetic is right for you.
