Top 5 Questions About BOTOX® Cosmetic

Though it’s the most popular aesthetic treatment in America, BOTOX® Cosmetic is still surrounded by some confusion. Below are answers to five BOTOX® Cosmetic questions we frequently hear at Miami Skin & Vein.

How Does BOTOX® Cosmetic Work?

BOTOX® Cosmetic works by temporarily blocking nerve signals and muscle activity in the treatment area. Repeated muscular activity is a primary cause of facial wrinkles and other aesthetic concerns. By relaxing specific facial muscles, BOTOX® Cosmetic helps to visibly smooth the overlying skin.

BOTOX® Cosmetic is an injectable treatment. It’s administered via a tiny needle or microcannula.

What Can BOTOX® Cosmetic Treat?

BOTOX® Cosmetic can treat many different concerns. It’s best known for addressing wrinkles and lines, particularly between the eyebrows and around the mouth. However, it has numerous other applications.

This injectable can improve facial asymmetry and reduce excessive sweating. It’s also an excellent solution to prominent masseter muscles and poor jawline definition.

Is BOTOX® Cosmetic Safe?

BOTOX® Cosmetic is widely considered to be a safe aesthetic treatment. The FDA approved it for aesthetic use back in 2002 after numerous clinical trials. Today, BOTOX® Cosmetic is the most extensively studied treatment of its kind.

BOTOX® Cosmetic must be prepared and injected properly. Your risk of experiencing adverse reactions is relatively low as long as you visit an experienced provider.

Will My Face Look Overdone After BOTOX® Cosmetic?

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a technique-dependent treatment. Over-injecting the product or injecting it in the wrong spot can lead to unnatural results.
