Botox Cosmetic is a quick and painless procedure designed to restore freshness, youth and beauty to faces that have been damaged by the process of living. It is the first treatment approved by the FDA for the temporary relief of moderate to severe frown lines between the brows. Botox is a purified protein that is injected into a specific muscle. This protein blocks the contraction of the muscle. The muscle relaxes, allowing wrinkles in the skin to soften or disappear.

The injections are a non-surgical procedure that generally only take ten minutes. While anesthesia is not required, the doctor or RN may numb the treatment area before injecting Botox Cosmetic. You may experience a brief, stinging sensation that can be minimized by using an ice compress. Within a few days, Botox Cosmetic dramatically decreases frown lines, forehead furrows and crow’s feet. Results last three to four months. Three to four treatments annually may be necessary to maintain the effects of Botox Cosmetic.
