BOTOX® Cosmetic is an FDA approved treatment for the temporary reduction of moderate to severe lines of people 18 to 65 years of age. BOTOX® Cosmetic involves a few tiny injections and the results are noticeable within 3-7 days. There is no recovery or down time and the results of BOTOX® Cosmetic can last 3-4 months. BOTOX® Cosmetic works by blocking nerve impulses which reduce the movement of muscles. With less movement, the skin surface gradually smoothes out, and the moderate to severe lines begin to fade.
