Botox Cosmetic is one of the FDA-approved treatments for the temporary reduction of moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in patients 18-65 years of age. It is also used to treat the crow’s feet area, horizontal lines of the forehead, lowered brow positioning, neck lines, neck bands, the down-turned mouth, and lip lines, though this is considered off label use in a cosmetic way. Botox Cosmetic is also used to smooth the dimply chin or the chin with excess lines in the course of aging.

 

Botox Cosmetic is fast, simple, and minimally invasive. Ten minutes, a few tiny injections, and within hours or days there’s a noticeable improvement. There’s no recovery or downtime. Results last generally 3-6 months, and even longer.

 

Botox Cosmetic treats the muscles that create contractions causing wrinkles and lines to form with certain expressions of the face. We see that with sequential treatments when muscle activity returns, the muscles build a memory. In time the areas of repeated treatment will need less Botox Cosmetic to get the same results.
