BOTOX® Cosmetic is a naturally occurring, purified protein. When injected in tiny amounts into muscles, it allows them to relax. BOTOX® Cosmetic has been used for years to treat medical problems such as muscle spasms of the face and neck, migraine headaches and double vision. Most recently, the FDA approved its use for treatment of certain unsightly facial creases. BOTOX® Cosmetic relaxes the muscles naturally. Within a few days, and for months afterwards, the facial creases that can make you look tense or aged have visibly smoothed. And because BOTOX® Cosmetic doesn’t involve any surgical incisions, you can return to full activities immediately.
Is it painful?
Because the amount of BOTOX® Cosmetic injected at each location miniscule, discomfort is minimal. Various methods numb the treatment area, including topical anesthetic creams and ice. Most patients compare the sensation to a mild bug bite, and are usually surprised at how little discomfort they experience.
Is it expensive?
Compared to other cosmetic surgeries, BOTOX® Cosmetic is amazingly affordable.
