Botox cosmetic is a purified protein. It is nonsurgical, physician-administered treatment that can temporarily reduce moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in patients 18 to 65 years of age. During the treatment, very low doses of Botox cosmetic are administered via a few tiny injections directly into the muscles that cause those stubborn lines between the brows.
Botox cosmetic is a a quick and minimally invasive treatment. It requires no recovery time and causes little discomfort.
Your doctor will determine exactly where administer the injections to achieve the best results. The entire procedure takes approximately ten minutes. Most patients compare the sensation to a bug bite. You may resume normal activity immediately.
You can expect to see results within days after your treatment. The appearance of the area between your brows may continue to improve for up to a week. Visible results can last up to four months. After that, you may be ready for a follow-up treatment.
Patients with neurological disorders such as ALS, Myasthenia Gravis, or Lmabert-Eaton syndrome may be at increased risk of serious side effects. The most common side effects include headache, respiratory infection, flu syndrome, temporary eyelid droop, and nausea.
Other side effects include pain and redness where the medicine is injected, pain in the face, and muscle weakness. These effects generally occur within the first week and usually go away on their own.
Your own results may vary—be sure to talk to your doctor about what you can expect.
