How Do Botox Injectables Work?

Botox Injectables are a prescription medicine. It’s injected into the muscles and works beneath the skin’s surface targetting the underlying muscle activity, which causes frown lines and crow’s feet to form over time.

It temporarily improves the look of both moderate-to-severe crow’s feet lines and frown lines between the eyebrows. It also improves moderate-to-severe crow’s feet lines in adults.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Botox?

Botox Cosmetic is a prescription medicine that is injected into facial muscles; it is used to improve the look of moderate to severe lines in people 18-70 years of age for a short period of time (temporary).

How does Botox cosmetic work?
Botox cosmetic is administered by our physician Dr. Sahar Moussa as a simple nonsurgical treatment that is injected directly into the muscles. It works by blocking nerve impulses to the injected muscles. This reduces muscle activity that causes moderate to severe lines to form. Individual results may vary.

When will I see results from a Botox Cosmetic Treatment & how long will it last?
Within days, you may see a marked improvement in the moderate-to-severe lines. Lines continue to improve for up to 30 days, and results can last up to 4 months. Individual results may vary.

Is the Botox Cosmetic treatment painful?
Discomfort is usually minimal and brief. Prior to the injection, your physician may choose to numb the area with a cold pack or anesthetic cream. The entire procedure takes approximately 10 minutes. Most patients are in and out the physician’s office without downtime following Botox Cosmetic treatment..

Will I still be able to make facial expressions?
Although the results are visible, a treatment with Botox Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA) will not radically change your facial appearance or make you look as if you’ve had “work done”. The muscle activity that causes lines is temporarily reduced, you can still frown or look surprised without the wrinkles and creases.

What will happen to the moderate to severe lines if I choose not to continue treatments?
