The Treatment

How DOES Botox® Treatment Work?
- No anesthesia is required. However, we may choose to numb the area with a cold pack or anesthetic cream. Discomfort is usually minimal and brief.
- We will administer a few tiny injections of BOTOX® Cosmetic directly into the muscles that cause those moderate-to-severe frown lines between the brows.
- Approximately 10 minutes for the entire treatment.
After the Treatment
- No downtime is needed – you’re ready to get on with your day!
- We will give you specific aftercare instructions.
- Side effects associated with the injection include localized pain, infection, inflammation, tenderness, swelling, redness, and/or bleeding/bruising.
