BOTOX® Cosmetic is a simple, nonsurgical way to achieve a more youthful appearance. It is effective in treating frown lines between the eyebrows, wrinkles on the forehead, and crow’s feet in the corner of the eyes. And unlike surgery, Botox is fast, simple, and minimally invasive, with no downtime or recovery. That’s why Botox treatments are the most commonly performed cosmetic procedure in the United States.

How Does It Work?
Botox Cosmetic works by temporarily relaxing the tiny facial muscles in a precise area, causing the treated site to become smooth and wrinkle free. The surrounding facial muscles are not affected, which allows for normal facial expression.

How Is the Procedure Done?
During your treatment, Dr. Segal will first carefully determine exactly where to place the Botox. A tiny amount of solution is then injected into the facial muscles using a very small needle. No sedation or local anesthesia is needed.

What Kind of Results Can I Expect?
In about three days, you will start to notice the lines smoothing in the treated areas, leading to a more relaxed and youthful appearance. For your first treatment, the effects usually last 3 to 4 months. But studies have shown that the results will often last longer, up to 4 to 8 months, after several treatments with Botox.
