BOTOX® Cosmetic is a purified protein used to treat facial wrinkles. BOTOX® works by blocking the nerve signals from the brain to the muscle thereby relaxing the muscles that cause lines and wrinkles. BOTOX® is administered in very small amounts by injection into specific facial muscles that are responsible for forming lines and wrinkles. The most common areas to be treated are the lines between the eyebrows, forehead lines, and crows feet around the eyes.
When administered by a trained and qualified physician, BOTOX® patients experience very few and only temporary side effects. As with any type of injection there are a few potential side effects that may occur with treatment. Slight swelling and bruising may be present for a few days after treatment. In rare cases, a temporary drooping of the eyelids or eyebrows has occurred. Some patients have noted a transient headache following their treatment.
Noticeable results will occur in 24 hours to several days following a BOTOX® treatment. The peak effect of BOTOX® typically occurs 2 to 3 weeks after injection and the duration of effect is approximately 3 months.
