Botox Cosmetic
1. What is BOTOX Cosmetic and how does it work?
A: BOTOX Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxina) is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles to temporarily treat moderate to severe frown lines between the brows of adults 18 to 65 years of age. It works by blocking nerve impulses to the injected muscles. This reduces muscle activity that causes those lines to form between the brows.
2. Why should I consider BOTOX Cosmetic?
A: Years of squinting concentrating or frowning can cause your skin to furrow and crease. As time passes, your skin becomes less elastic and those moderate to severe frown lines between your brows remain even when your muscles aren't contracting.

A: BOTOX Cosmetic will not radically change your facial appearance or make you look as if you've "had work done." The muscle activity that causes moderate to severe frown lines between the brows is temporarily reduced, so you can still frown or look surprised without the wrinkles and creases between your brows.
4. How quickly will I see a difference?
A: Within 1 week you may notice a softening in the appearance of your moderate to severe frown lines between your brows. It may take up to two weeks for maximum results .
