Botox® Cosmetic is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that temporarily improves the look of moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines in adults. It works by targeting the underlying muscle activity that causes these lines, reducing their appearance.
The effects of Botox® Cosmetic typically last between three to four months. Regular maintenance treatments are necessary to sustain the desired results.
Common side effects include swelling, bruising, and headaches. Less common risks involve eyelid drooping and facial muscle weakness. It’s essential to have treatments administered by licensed professionals to minimize risks.
Results are usually noticeable within 3 to 5 days after the treatment, with full effects appearing around two weeks.
Botox® Cosmetic treatments involve minimal discomfort, often described as a slight pinch. The procedure is quick, and most individuals can resume their normal activities immediately afterward.
