Have you ever wished you could get rid of those "frown lines" between your eyebrows? What about those fine wrinkles known as "crows feet" around your eyes? The use of BOTOX® Cosmetic in these areas of the face can improve or eliminate those lines and wrinkles associated with muscle contraction.

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a therapeutic muscle-relaxing agent that works at motor nerve endings. It is derived from the bacterium, Clostridium Botulinum, also known as Botulinum Toxin Type A. Once injected, it paralyzes the muscle temporarily stopping the muscle contraction, which leads to wrinkles.

The results are not permanent and most injections are repeated every 3-5 months. The injections only take several minutes to perform and you may experience slight tenderness and swelling at the injection sites which may last several days. The effect of the BOTOX® Cosmetic should take effect within 2 weeks with most patients indicating they have no pain.
