BOTOX ® Cosmetic is an FDA-approved substance that is injected directly into facial muscles to reduce their movement. It is a highly effective, non-surgical procedure that can dramatically reduce the appearance of wrinkles. The results are apparent within days and can last up to 6 months. The procedure is fast, simple and minimally invasive, with no downtime or recovery.

You may be a candidate for BOTOX Cosmetic if you would like to treat facial wrinkles in the forehead, between the eyes and in the "crow's feet" areas. BOTOX Cosmetic works by weakening the muscles that cause facial expressions. Once the treated muscles are weakened, the pull of the muscle relaxes and the overlaying skin flattens. BOTOX Cosmetic is utilized to enhance your appearance, and lessen the wrinkles in the upper part of your face.

BOTOX is also FDA-approved for severe underarm sweating that is inadequately managed with topical agents. BOTOX® helps control this condition by temporarily blocking the chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands. When the sweat glands don't receive chemical signals, the severe sweating stops. Read more about BOTOX for hyperhidrosis.
