BOTOX

Own Your Look

BOTOX Cosmetic is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles and used to temporarily improve the look of moderate to severe forehead lines, crow’s feet lines, and frown lines between the eyebrows in adults.

A combination of factors can cause facial lines. It’s not just about the cellular changes that may occur, or reduction of collagen, or damage caused by free radicals from the sun and the environment.

Repeated muscle contractions from frowning, squinting, or raising eyebrows cause skin to furrow and fold, gradually resulting in the formation of facial lines. BOTOX Cosmetic works beneath the surface and temporarily reduces the underlying muscle activity that causes moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead lines in adults to help them look better.

What To Expect

Some patients receiving BOTOX Cosmetic report the injections feel like a pinch. You may begin to notice a visible smoothing of frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead lines within 24 to 48 hours, with full results in 30 days lasting up to 4 months for moderate to severe frown lines.

BOTOX Cosmetic is not a permanent treatment. If you discontinue treatment the moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead lines will gradually return.

Frequently Asked Questions

BOTOX works by relaxing the muscles beneath your wrinkles. It reduces muscle movement to keep lines and wrinkles away, but you can still move your face and will look completely natural. In the underarms, BOTOX works by temporarily switching off your sweat glands in that area.

BOTOX can treat many different areas for exceptional results.

  • Frown lines: smooths the lines between brows
  • Crow’s feet: reduces lines at eye corners
  • Forehead lines: smooths long lines across the forehead
  • Eyebrow lift: subtle eyebrow elevation
  • Nefertiti lift: neck and jawline tightening
  • Smile enhancement: reduces a gummy smile
  • Necklines: cords around the neck
  • Mouth: corners of the mouth to lift drooping

In addition to all of the aesthetic uses, BOTOX can be very helpful in hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) and migraine headache treatment.

If you have fine lines and wrinkles and want to reclaim your youthful appearance without invasive procedures or surgery, you’re probably a great BOTOX candidate.
BOTOX is injected with a very fine needle and is well-tolerated by almost everyone. The treatment takes 10-20 minutes, and you’re back to your normal routine immediately.
BOTOX usually takes effect in three days to a week. It takes effect in some areas faster. For example, the International Hyperhidrosis Society says that BOTOX can take effect in the underarm area in as little as two days when injected for excessive sweating.
BOTOX prevents wrinkles for three to six months. In the underarms, BOTOX lasts anywhere from four months to a year, possibly longer.
As with all injections, there’s a risk of mild swelling and bruising. However, it typically recedes after a couple of days. To diminish swelling, we recommend ice packs. You can also take arnica, a natural bruise reducer. Avoid nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, fish oil, vitamin E, and ginkgo biloba for one week prior to, and one week after, your BOTOX treatment.

Before & After

XEOMIN

FDA Approved. Clinically Proven.

XEOMIN is a prescription medication that is injected into the muscles and is used to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) in adults. Xeomin contains botulinum toxin type A, a protein purified from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum.

XEOMIN

Frequently Asked Questions

When you squint or frown, the muscles between your eyebrows contract, causing the skin to wrinkle and fold. Over time, as skin ages and loses elasticity, these repeated contractions can cause permanent frown lines. Botulinum toxin type A: the active ingredient in Xeomin®, acts on muscle nerve endings to prevent muscle fibers from contracting. By reducing these twitches, Xeomin® can temporarily reduce the lines between the brows.

You may begin to see visible smoothing as early as 3-4 days after injection. The median first onset of effect was less than a week. The maximum effect occurred at 30 days. The typical duration of effect was up to 3 months in clinical trials but may last significantly longer or shorter in individual patients.

RESTYLANE

Restylane is crosslinked with BDDE, an ingredient that helps form a network of HA to provide a gel filler that lasts longer. Restylane is nonanimal based and free from animal protein.
