Demystifying Botox Cosmetic
Botox Cosmetic, scientifically known as onabotulinumtoxinA, is a specialized injectable medication crafted to address your skin worries. Prepared from botulinum toxin, Botox injections are formulated to treat three specific types of wrinkles, providing a tailored solution to your skincare needs.
Understanding the Magic Behind Botox Cosmetic
Botox Cosmetic, when injected into the desired area, halts nerve impulses to the muscles, thereby relaxing the muscle, and reducing the visibility of wrinkles and fine lines. This innovative approach allows your skin to regain its smooth texture, revitalizing your appearance.
Treatable Areas With Botox Cosmetic
Botox Cosmetic is a versatile treatment addressing a variety of facial areas plagued by wrinkles and fine lines. It can treat:
- Crow’s feet that appear on the side of your eyes.
- Horizontal lines that stretch across your forehead.
- Vertical lines that form around your lips.
- Frown lines that mark your forehead.
- Down-turned corners of your mouth.
- Creases across the bridge of your nose.
- Dimpling and creases on your chin.
- Neck bands and horizontal neck lines.
- Tighter jawline.
- Gummy smile.
- Square jaw due to enlarged masseter muscles. This also helps with tension in the jaw muscles and grinding of your teeth.
- Even excessive sweating of your underarms, hands & feet.
- Tighter pores size
- Decrease excess oil production

Embrace a new you with Botox Cosmetic treatment! Visible results can be expected within a few days post-treatment, lasting up to 4 months.

The Journey Through Botox Cosmetic Procedure
The procedure involves injecting a saline-diluted Botox Cosmetic directly into the muscles that cause the wrinkles when they contract. It’s swift and convenient, perfectly fitting into your lunch break – a beauty refreshment on the go!
Post-treatment Care
Post-treatment care is essential for a quick recovery and to ensure optimal results:
- Refrain from touching, rubbing, or applying pressure to the treated area for at least 4-8 hours after your treatment. This includes – applying makeup; wearing a hat; and having a facial or massage.
- Postpone strenuous exercise for at least 24 hours.
- Maintain an upright posture for a minimum of 4 hours post-treatment to prevent Botox Cosmetic moving to muscles that we don’t want to relax. This could lead to a drop brow or eyelid.
