Our most popular non-surgical injection, Botox® Cosmetic is a treatment applied by a doctor that temporarily reduces or eliminates wrinkles and crow's feet around the eyes, giving the skin a more youthful appearance. It is the only treatment of this type approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Botox® Cosmetic is made up of a purified natural protein called Botulinum Toxin Type A, which relaxes the muscles to eliminate facial lines. The effect of Botox varies from person to person, but in general, it begins within the first 48 to 72 hours and lasts from 4 to 8 months, and some of the factors to consider are: individual physical structure, nutritional habits, physical activity, etc.
How does it work?
A small amount of Botox® Cosmetic is injected into the muscle tissue that controls the affected area. This block nerve impulses causing muscles to relax and wrinkles to disappear. Untreated muscles contract normally, so facial expressions are not affected and therefore continue to look very natural.
After treatment
Some patients experience bruises or minor headaches.
