Wrinkles result from a combination of many factors. These can include, but are not limited to, cellular changes that can occur over time, reduction of collagen, or damage caused by free radicals in the sun and the environment. When you frown or concentrate, the muscles between your brows contract, causing your skin to furrow and fold. When you squint, the muscles around your eyes contract and cause crow’s feet.

BOTOX® Cosmetic works beneath the skin’s surface and targets the underlying muscle activity that causes dynamic lines and wrinkles. Only BOTOX® Cosmetic is FDA-approved to temporarily make moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines look better in adults.

• BOTOX® injections take about 10-20 minutes and most patients report that it feels like a slight pinch
• Your specialist may use ice to numb the treatment area but no anesthesia is needed
• Treatment requires minimal downtime or recovery and is often called a lunchtime procedure
• Wrinkles begin to fade within 24 hours and full results are expected within 6 days
• Results last 3-4 months
