How does it work?
Botox is an FDA-approved, safe, and highly regulated medication. It’s made of a purified protein produced by the botulinum toxin. Providers administer Botox at a therapeutic dose far below the dose that would cause toxicity, meaning it’s very safe. The injection works by blocking signals from the nerves to the chosen facial muscles, preventing the muscle from contracting. By relaxing the muscles that created the wrinkles, it can cause the wrinkle to soften and sometimes fade away with time. This can give you smoother-looking skin.

How long does Botox last?
These effects will last about three to four months. As muscle action gradually returns at the site of the injection, wrinkles will begin to reappear. That means it’s time for the next treatment. These Botox treatments are needed approximately three or four times a year. After repeated injections, your lines and wrinkles will often appear less severe.

Will my face look overdone or unnatural?
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a technique-sensitive treatment. You can trust BOTOX® Cosmetic to deliver subtle results when you are treated by someone who is licensed, trained, and a medical expert in facial anatomy. So you’ll look like yourself—only with less noticeable lines. No one should be able to tell you’ve had anything done.

Do I need to be over 40 to start using Botox® Cosmetics?
It’s not your age that determines when BOTOX® Cosmetic is right for you, it’s the severity of your lines. In fact, 64% of plastic surgeons report seeing a rise in cosmetic surgery or injectable treatments for patients in their early 30s.
The truth is, that everyone’s lines form differently. The timing can be influenced by a combination of factors, from cellular changes that may occur over time, to the reduction of collagen, to genetic factors, or damage caused by free radicals from the sun and the environment.

Is Botox® Cosmetic only for women?
Not at all! Many men make BOTOX® Cosmetic part of what they do to care for their appearance.
The number of men choosing treatments like BOTOX® Cosmetic has risen fast – in the past three years alone, men have received over one million botulinum toxin treatments. When surveyed, the majority of men say they want to look good and they’re bothered by the changes they see in the mirror. 80% would choose to treat their crow’s feet first, while 74% would prioritize their forehead lines, and 60% would most like to treat their frown lines.

What were common side effects seen in clinical studies?
Three percent of patients experienced eyelid drooping in the frown lines studies, one percent of patients experienced eyelid swelling in the crow’s feet studies, and one percent of patients experienced brow drooping in the forehead lines studies. Other possible side effects include dry mouth; discomfort or pain at the injection site; tiredness; headache; neck pain; eye problems: double vision, blurred vision, decreased eyesight, and dry eyes; and allergic reactions. These are not all of the possible serious side effects of BOTOX®
