Botox Cosmetic

What is Botox Cosmetic?

• Botox Cosmetic is the first and only FDA-approved treatment used to temporarily reduce moderate to severe frown lines, crows feet, and forehead lines in adults. Its potency is measured in units that cannot be compared to any other product.
• A combination of factors can cause unwanted facial lines. These factors include but are not limited to: cellular changes, a reduction of collagen, damage caused by the sun and other environmental factors, and repeated muscle contractions from frowning, squinting, and other everyday facial expressions.
• Botox cosmetic works beneath the surface to temporarily reduce the underlying muscle activity that causes facial lines and helps them to visibly look smoother. 
• Botox Cosmetic lasts up to 4 months and repeat treatments are necessary to avoid gradual return of those unwanted facial lines.
• Botox Cosmetic is also used to effectively treat migraines in adults. It is injected around pain fibers that are involved in headaches. It enters the nerve endings and blocks the release of chemicals involved in pain transmission, preventing the activation of pain transmission in the brain.
