What Is BOTOX Cosmetic?
BOTOX Cosmetic is a prescription injectable treatment used to reduce muscle activity temporarily in specific facial areas, helping minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This minimally invasive treatment is commonly used to address:
- Forehead lines
- Crow’s feet around the eyes
- Frown lines between the eyebrows
At SH Facial Plastics, every BOTOX treatment is customized to your facial anatomy and aesthetic goals to ensure subtle, natural looking results.
How Does BOTOX Work?
As we age, repeated facial movements such as frowning, squinting, or raising your eyebrows can cause dynamic wrinkles to form. Over time, reduced collagen production, sun exposure, and environmental stressors can make these lines more noticeable.
BOTOX works by temporarily relaxing the targeted facial muscles beneath the skin’s surface. This helps prevent repetitive movements that create wrinkles, resulting in smoother skin and a more refreshed appearance.
Key Benefits of BOTOX Cosmetic
- Targets the underlying cause of wrinkles caused by muscle movement.
- Provides subtle, natural-looking results.
- Results can be seen within 24 to 48 hours.
Because BOTOX results are temporary, maintenance treatments are typically recommended every three to six months.
