BOTOX® Cosmetic is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles and used to improve the look of moderate-to-severe frown lines between the brows in people 18 to 65 years of age for a short period of time (temporary).
The Treatment
The administration of BOTOX® Cosmetic involves:
No anesthesia is required. However, your doctor may choose to numb the area with a cold pack or anesthetic cream. Discomfort is usually minimal and brief.
Your doctor will administer a few tiny injections of BOTOX® Cosmetic directly into the muscles that cause those moderate-to-severe frown lines between the brows.
Approximately 10 minutes for the
entire treatment.
After the Treatment
No downtime is needed – you're ready to get on with your day!
Your physician will give you specific aftercare instructions.
Side effects associated with the injection include localized pain, infection, inflammation, tenderness, swelling, redness, and/or bleeding/bruising.
Dysport is an alternative to Botox also used to temporarily smooth moderate to severe frown lines.
