Whether you are looking to minimize frown lines between your eyebrows or wrinkles around the eyes (crow’s feet), or both, you can get a fresher look with Botox. This cosmetic injection is a safe, quick, and effective treatment that can provide results lasting 3 to 4 months or more.

This FDA-approved injectable targets the muscles that cause creases and wrinkles in the skin of the face. It relaxes them by blocking the release of acetylcholine, which transmits nerve signals to contract those muscles. It is injected directly into the targeted muscle with a fine needle. A topical numbing cream is rarely needed, and the procedure takes only about 30 minutes or less to complete. Patients can resume their normal activities right away.
