BOTOX®
BOTOX® Cosmetic is an FDA approved injectable that temporarily improves the appearance of an aging face, particularly crow’s feet around the eyes and frown lines between the eyebrows.
BOTOX® targets one of the underlying causes of fine lines and crow’s feet: repeated muscle contractions from frowning and squinting over the years.
The folds created when you frown or squint are known as dynamic wrinkles, and they only appear as you make facial expressions. However, over time, dynamic wrinkles become static wrinkles: the fine lines and/or wrinkles you see when your face is relaxed. BOTOX® tackles these static wrinkles that appear over time.
Injecting BOTOX® will temporarily reduce muscle activity in the face, leading to a reduction in appearance. Patients may begin to notice results within 24 to 48 hours, with results lasting four to six months after treatment.
Benefits of Choosing BOTOX®
- Quick Procedure
BOTOX® is often referred to as the “lunch hour wrinkle remedy” because it takes only about 10 minutes to complete.

BOTOX® is not just for women! The procedure is effective in giving both genders a more youthful, natural look.
- Painless
Our patients experience little-to-no downtime after BOTOX®, and report that the injection feels like a small pinch.

How many injections will I need?
The number of injections required varies by the size of the muscles. Crow’s feet can be treated with as few as three injections, while a forehead can require four to ten injection sites.
BOTOX® vs. Dermal Fillers
BOTOX® is used to prevent wrinkles from developing, as muscles get larger and pull on the overlying skin. On the other hand, dermal fillers are injected to areas of hollowing and drooping, in order to lift and re-contour the face as we lose volume with age.
Since 2002, nearly 11 million doses of BOTOX have been performed in the United States. Join the millions of people who choose this simple procedure as part of their beauty regimen!
