BOTOX®

BOTOX® Cosmetic is the first and only FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines, forehead wrinkles, and crow’s feet. Over time, repeated muscle contractions from facial expressions like frowning, squinting, and raising eyebrows can lead to the formation of wrinkles and creases. BOTOX® targets the muscles responsible for these lines, temporarily reducing their activity and resulting in a smoother, more youthful appearance. Treatment typically takes just a few minutes, and you can expect visible results within 24 to 48 hours, lasting up to 4 months.
