Cosmetic Botox

What is BOTOX?

BOTOX® Cosmetic is the brand name for botulinum toxin type A, nature's most potent blocker of nerve impulses. BOTOX Cosmetic works by partially blocking the nerve to the injected muscle.  Facial furrows form mainly in response to normal aging (increased by sun exposure) and the pull of underlying muscles.  

How does Botox cosmetic injections work? 

BOTOX Cosmetic works by decreasing the pull of these muscles thereby allowing treatment of some skin creases without surgery.

Where do Botox injections work best?

BOTOX Cosmetic injections are best on the upper third of the face. Forehead lines, furrows between the eyebrows, and lines around the eyes (crow's feet) respond favorably to BOTOX Cosmetic . Frown lines (below the mouth) and chin creases may also be improved with a BOTOX Cosmetic injection, but response here varies by individuals.

Botox treatments for eyes

Wrinkles around the eyes can be especially prevalent as they are caused by facial expressions and muscle movement.  These wrinkles are very responsive to BOTOX treatments. One of the benefits of BOTOX injections is that BOTOX Cosmetic weakens the muscles responsible for squinting and crinkling of the eye area. The treatment effectively reduces or eliminates crow’s feet and other wrinkles around the eyes. Since BOTOX injections only affect muscle nerves, not nerves of sensation, patients do not experience a loss of feeling in the treated area.

Botox for forehead wrinkles

Forehead wrinkles form from many years of creating facial expressions.  Over many years, repetition of these facial expressions create permanent creases in the skin. One of the benefits of BOTOX injections is that they can be used to relax the facial muscles, resulting in smoother skin and fewer wrinkles. In areas such as the forehead, where horizontal wrinkles tend to form, the BOTOX benefits are particularly valuable. BOTOX treats the underlying muscles that cause wrinkles.  After treatment, the muscles that ordinarily cause wrinkles and lines to appear in the forehead are no longer as active for a period of several months.

BOTOX for the browline

Permanent brow wrinkles form from smiling, laughing, and frowning.  By treating the underlying muscles that create these wrinkles with BOTOX, deep brow furrows are reduced or eliminated for a period of up to several months.  FDA information on BOTOX approval for frownlines

Additional BOTOX health benefits

BOTOX was originally approved by the FDA for several non-cosmetic treatments, including blepharospasm, a condition in which the eyes twitch uncontrollably, migraine headaches, and excessive sweating. BOTOX has also been shown to reduce chronic back pain and jaw tension.
