What Causes Deep Lines and Wrinkles Referred?
We use our facial muscles everyday to express ourselves. Over time these repeated muscle contractions cause the lines and wrinkles that appear in our faces – as part of the aging process, and loss of skin elasticity from sun damage. Genetics, family history and lifestyles such as smoking, and excessive sun exposure also factor into the wrinkle creation process.

Results
Results take around 10-14 days to appear and are FDA-indicated to last 3-4 months. Your metabolism and a wide variety of factors can vary the onset and your results with Botox. As the product wears off, the previously treated lines & wrinkles may begin to reappear. It’s similar to getting a haircut or highlights, and requires maintenance!
If lines are treated with Botox on a regular basis, they tend to remain more superficial. The longer you are treated, the longer your results will last! Studies have shown that after two years of denervation, muscles atrophy; which means they get smaller and weaker. So if you continuously treat the muscles that are causing your lines with Botox, they will be less likely to create wrinkles!

Frequently Asked Questions
IS BOTOX® COSMETIC ONLY FOR WOMEN?
Not at all! Many men make BOTOX® Cosmetic part of what they do to care for their appearance.
The number of men choosing treatments like BOTOX® Cosmetic has risen fast – in the past three years alone; men have received over one million botulinum toxin treatments. When surveyed, most men say they want to look good, and they’re bothered by the changes they see in the mirror. 80% would choose to treat their crow’s feet first, while 74% would prioritize their forehead lines, and 60% would most like to treat their frown lines.
WHAT TO EXPECT WITH THE BOTOX TREATMENT?
Some patients receiving BOTOX® Cosmetic report the injections feel like a pinch. You may begin to notice a visible smoothing of frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines within 24 to 48 hours, with results lasting up to 4 months for moderate to severe frown lines in adults.
BOTOX® Cosmetic is not a permanent treatment. If you discontinue treating moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead lines will gradually return. To temporarily make moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead lines look better in adults.
DO I NEED TO BE OVER 40 TO START USING BOTOX® COSMETIC?
It’s not your age that determines when BOTOX® Cosmetic is right for you. It’s the severity of your lines. 64% of plastic surgeons report seeing a rise in cosmetic surgery or injectable treatments for patients in their early 30’s.
The truth is, everyone’s lines form differently. The timing can be influenced by a combination of factors, from cellular changes that may occur over time, to the reduction of collagen, to genetic factors or damage caused by free radicals from the sun and the environment.

HOW DOES BOTOX® COSMETIC WORK?

Your specialist will inject these muscles with BOTOX® Cosmetic to temporarily reduce muscle activity. You will begin to notice a visible smoothing of the frown lines between your brows, crow’s feet, and forehead lines.
