BOTOX® Cosmetic

San Diego BOTOX® Injections

You may be a candidate for BOTOX® Cosmetic if you would like to treat facial wrinkles in the forehead, between the eyes, and in the “crow’s feet” areas around your eyes. BOTOX® Cosmetic works by weakening the muscles that cause facial expressions. Once the treated muscles are weakened, the pull of the muscle relaxes and the overlaying skin flattens. BOTOX® Cosmetic is used to enhance your appearance and lessen the wrinkles in the upper part of your face.

How BOTOX® Is Injected

BOTOX® Cosmetic can be administered in the office by appointment. BOTOX® Cosmetic is freshly prepared on the day of injection. Once prepared, the medication needs to be used within 12 hours, as the potency diminishes with time. Small amounts of BOTOX® Cosmetic are injected into the facial muscles using a very tiny needle.
