BOTOX® Cosmetics - Spinak Medical Center

What is BOTOX® Cosmetic?
BOTOX® Cosmetic is the highly purified form of a natural protein produced by bacteria. This non-surgical treatment can smooth persistent lines on your face, even the furrows between your eyebrows.

What is a treatment like?
A treatment consists of a few tiny injections to the muscles that cause facial lines. No anesthetic is needed. The highly localized injections take about ten minutes and most people return to normal activities immediately. Discomfort is minimal and any temporary bruising can be easily covered with makeup.

When will I see results and how long will they last?
Improvement begins within days and continues for as long as a week. The improvement in appearance should last for up to four months before another treatment is needed. While BOTOX® Cosmetic can reduce the appearance of lines and furrows on your face, it does not take the place of cosmetic surgery.

 

Is it safe?
BOTOX® Cosmetic is approved by the FDA. Side effects are rare and you will be fully informed of the risks before your treatment. The most common side effects are headache, "flu" or respiratory infection, nausea or temporary eyelid droop.

Who is a candidate for BOTOX® Cosmetic?
Adult women and men who are conscious of their appearance are good candidates for BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments.

BOTOX® is a registered trademark of Allergan, Inc.
