BOTOX® Cosmetic injections are directly injected into the muscles you want to relax. BOTOX® Cosmetic enters the nerve endings to block the release of acetylcholine, the chemical that causes muscles to contract. BOTOX® Cosmetic is extremely specific in how it reacts to block the release of acetylcholine so only the muscles I inject are relaxed. Once the muscles are at rest, the skin becomes smoother, creating a more natural and relaxed appearance.
BOTOX® Cosmetic injections typically last from 3-6 months. The rare side effects of getting a BOTOX® Cosmetic injection, such as a droopy eye, are only temporary. BOTOX® Cosmetic injections are a great way to reduce your facial wrinkles. With continued use of BOTOX® Cosmetic your wrinkles become less and less noticable and frequently disappear. BOTOX® Cosmetic injections are not a permanent solution to wrinkles. You must keep up with your BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments or your wrinkles will come back. Most people come in 2-4 times per year for BOTOX® Cosmetic injections.
