What Is BOTOX Cosmetic and How Does It Work?
BOTOX is the most popular cosmetic injectable skin treatment in the United States. It is a derivative of botulinum type A, a bacterium-produced neuromuscular toxin which affects the muscles that cause lines and wrinkles. By temporarily blocking the nerve signals to these muscles, it can create a smoother, more refreshed and youthful appearance.
BOTOX Cosmetic has been approved by the FDA to treat glabella lines, or the frown lines between the eyebrows, and can also help to temporarily address the appearance of:
- Brow lines
- Crow’s feet
- Smile lines
Is BOTOX Right for Me?
BOTOX Cosmetic is an effective skin rejuvenation treatment for almost everyone. But, like any cosmetic procedure, it’s important to meet certain requirements to ensure the success and safety of your treatment.
Generally speaking, you may be a good candidate for BOTOX injections if you:
- Are at least 18 years old
- Are free of BOTOX Cosmetic allergies
- Have good facial muscle strength
- Have good facial symmetry
- Are free of facial scars or pre-existing skin conditions
