In 2002, the FDA approved the use of Botox Cosmetic (a purified protein) for treatment for temporary reduction of lines and wrinkles of the face. With a few simple, tiny injections during a 10-30 minute treatment session, a patient’s frown lines and wrinkles will fade about 3 days following injection. The best part … it’s a non-surgical procedure with no downtime!

Botox Cosmetic is effective because it blocks nerve impulses which reduces muscle movement in the targeted areas. Because there is less muscle movement, the skin’s surface will smooth out and the lines begin to fade. Visible results can last up to 4 months (individual results may vary). Follow-up treatments will be needed to maintain desired results. If you decide not to continue with Botox Cosmetic, there aren’t any lasting affects. The treated areas will eventually return to their orginal appearance prior to treatment.
