BOTOX is a prescription drug made from a neurotoxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum called botulinum toxin. When injected into specific muscles, it temporarily disarms the muscles to smooth away the frown lines, forehead wrinkles, and crow’s feet etched into the skin by repeated facial expression.

In a recent survey conducted by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), of the 1,000 patients polled, 97% were “definitely satisfied” with their results.

BOTOX is most commonly used to smooth away frown lines (glabellar lines) between the eyebrows, worry lines across the forehead, and crow’s feet (periorbital lines) that radiate from the outer corners of the eyes.

That depends upon how many areas you’re treating as well asyour skin condition and the severity of your frown lines, forehead wrinkles, and crow’s feet.

The results of Botox injections typically last between 4-6 months. To maintain thisyounger-looking appearance, you will need to schedule about 2-3 treatments a year.
