BOTOX is the most common medical cosmetic treatment. As people age, the effects of gravity and stress of daily life can be seen on their faces. BOTOX does not stop this process, but it can return youthfulness to your face. It is most commonly used to treat wrinkles such as forehead lines, “crow’s feet” and frown lines for patients of any age. BOTOX® “paralyzes” the injected muscle so that muscles you use to squint or frown are no longer able to contract.
BOTOX® Cosmetic is one of the most extensively studied medical aesthetic treatments and is approved for cosmetic use in 78 countries.* BOTOX® Cosmetic has a record of experience that aesthetic specialists know and trust. And, the safety and efficacy of BOTOX® Cosmetic have been evaluated in both Allergan sponsored clinical trials as well as in 417 peer-reviewed articles in scientific and medical journals.
*VISTABEL® outside of North America.
BOTOX® Cosmetic contains tiny amounts of a highly purified botulinum toxin protein refined from the bacterium, Clostridium botulinum. Formulations, potency, and approved doses vary among botulinum toxin products, which means that one product cannot take the place of another.
Those are a few reasons why there is no such thing as a “generic” form of BOTOX® Cosmetic. There have been no studies to support that other products are Unit-to-Unit equivalent to BOTOX® Cosmetic.
Botox is an effective solution for treating excessive sweating by injecting it into the affected area to block the signals that stimulate sweat production. This treatment provides rapid and noticeable results within a few days, directly targeting sweat glands for reduced sweat production. The effects of Botox can last for several months, offering long-lasting relief, enhanced physical comfort, and improved self-confidence.
Approximately 10.9 million vials of BOTOX® Cosmetic have been sold in the United States since 2002, and millions of people have already made BOTOX® Cosmetic a part of what they do for themselves. Today, BOTOX® Cosmetic is the #1 selling product of its kind in the world.

You may begin to notice results within 24 to 48 hours for moderate to severe frown lines, with results lasting up to 4 months.
Your specialist may use ice to numb the treatment area. If you are concerned about discomfort, your specialist may apply a topical numbing cream before administering your treatment.
Your specialist will discuss your treatment goals and perform a facial analysis to determine the appropriate treatment areas for you.
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a technique-sensitive treatment. You should not lose the ability to show expression when you are treated by someone who is licensed, trained, and a medical expert in facial anatomy.
Treatment requires minimal downtime or recovery; it’s often called a lunchtime procedure. You’ll be able to go about your normal routine immediately after you leave your specialist’s office.
Your cost not only includes the price of the product, but more importantly, the skill and expertise of the specialist or healthcare professional who is administering your treatment.
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a technique-sensitive treatment—look for someone who is licensed and trained and has experience treating patients with BOTOX® Cosmetic.
Be wary of discount products or “cheap” BOTOX® Cosmetic—if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
It is more important to find an experienced specialist who will take the time to understand your treatment goals and develop a treatment plan that is right for you.
