FAQ / Face / Botox Cosmetic

 

Q. What is BOTOX® Cosmetic?

A. BOTOX® Cosmetic is an injectable treatment derived from a purified protein. It is manufactured under strict quality control standards and is administered in extremely dilute dosages by a licensed medical professional.

Q. How is BOTOX Cosmetic used?

 A. A tiny amount of BOTOX® Cosmetic is injected into the muscle that creates the dynamic wrinkle. When BOTOX® Cosmetic is injected into a muscle, it blocks the nerve impulse from reaching the area, and as a result, the muscle relaxes. As the muscle relaxes, the dynamic wrinkle overlying the muscle is smoothed away.

Q. Will it give me a fake, frozen look?

A. Not if you are treated by an experienced doctor, who will be able to determine the right dose and injection technique for you. The treatment only relaxes the muscles beneath the wrinkle line at the injection site, so the other elements of facial expression remain active. It also has no effect on sensory nerves, so you will have normal feeling in the treated areas.

Q. What is the treatment like?

A. A tiny amount of BOTOX® Cosmetic is injected very precisely, into the muscle being treated. Because the needle is so fine and only a small amount of liquid is used, the pain associated with the injections is minimal. Most patients compare the sensation to a mild bug bite. No sedation or local anesyhetic is required, and you can resume normal activities immediately.

Q. How long does BOTOX Cosmetic treatment last?

A. The effects of BOTOX® Cosmetic usually last three to four months, at which time another injection is required. After several treatments, the effects of BOTOX® Cosmetic may begin to last longer.
