|  If
you’ve found that frown lines, forehead creases or
other facial expression lines are preventing you from looking
as good as you want, BOTOX ® Cosmetic may be your solution. BOTOX ® Cosmetic
is a purified therapeutic agent that removes lines and creases
in the upper part of the face by inactivating specific muscles
that pull on the skin. It works to eliminate the face’s
dynamic wrinkles – those wrinkles that are caused
not by aging or sun exposure, but by years of facial movement,
such as laughing, smiling or frowning. Treatment with BOTOX ® Cosmetic
in the affected areas causes the underlying muscles to relax,
giving the skin a smoother, more refreshed appearance. 
Common
places to inject include the horizontal forehead furrows,
vertical lines between the eyebrows and "crow's feet"
around the eyes. BOTOX ® Cosmetic is an office-based procedure
that does not require anesthesia and has little to no downtime.

BOTOX ® Cosmetic is injected with a
very tiny needle. After BOTOX ® Cosmetic injection, the muscles
will relax and the skin will smooth out over about 5 days.
The effect usually lasts about 4 months, and can be repeated
when needed.
There are very few side effects
to this procedure. An allergy to any medicine is possible,
but it is rare with BOTOX ® Cosmetic. While a small amount of
brow or lid droop is possible, it is unusual and can usually
be avoided by not treating the area just above the outer
portion of the brow. If it does happen, it goes away by
itself.
BOTOX ® Cosmetic is one of the most
popular cosmetic “mini-treatments” today. This
procedure can be done on a lunch break and requires no anesthesia
or recovery. Overall, the vast majority of patients love
this "quick fix" and return for a BOTOX ® Cosmetic boost
as soon as the wrinkles begin to reappear!
