Botox is a popular non-surgical injection that temporarily reduces or eliminates frown lines, forehead creases, crow's feet near the eyes and thick bands in the neck. Botox blocks the nerve impulses, temporarily relaxing the underlying muscles that cause wrinkles while giving the skin a smoother, more refreshed appearance. Studies also suggest that Botox is effective in relieving migraine headaches, excessive sweating and muscle spasms in the neck and eyes.

Botox Cosmetic is a quick and minimally invasive treatment. Your surgeon makes a few tiny injections into the muscles that cause moderate to severe frown lines. No anesthesia is required, although your surgeon may choose to numb the area with a cold pack or anesthetic cream prior to injecting. The entire procedure takes approximately ten minutes. Discomfort is minimal and brief. You may resume normal activity immediately. There is no recovery or downtime and you can expect to see results within days after your treatment. Results last up to four months, although individual results may vary.
