BOTOX® Cosmetic is a drug made from a toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. It's used medically to treat certain muscular conditions and cosmetically to remove wrinkles by temporarily paralyzing muscles!

BOTOX® Cosmetic works by blocking nerve signals in the muscles where it's injected. When those nerve signals are interrupted, the affected muscle is temporarily paralyzed or frozen, reducing or eliminating wrinkles and lines.

BOTOX® Cosmetic is commonly used to treat wrinkles in the forehead, worry lines (also known as frown lines, found between the eyebrows), and crow's feet (lines that appear at the outer corners of the eyes). These are areas where expressive facial movement often results in the formation of lines and wrinkles over time.

Possible side effects of BOTOX® Cosmetic may cause pain and bruising at the injection site, flu-like symptoms, drooping eyelids or eyebrows, dry eyes, and excessive tearing. These side effects are usually temporary and subside within a few days after the treatment.

The effects of BOTOX® Cosmetic are not permanent and typically last between 3 to 6 months. As muscle action gradually returns, the lines and wrinkles begin to reappear and can be treated again.

BOTOX® Cosmetic is generally considered safe when administered by a qualified medical professional. However, it can have side effects and isn't suitable for everyone. It's important to discuss your medical history and potential risks with your doctor before getting a BOTOX® Cosmetic injection.

No, BOTOX® Cosmetic should only be administered by a qualified healthcare professional. This should be done by a licensed medical provider who has been trained in the use of BOTOX® Cosmetic.

BOTOX® Cosmetic, known scientifically as Botulinum toxin type A, is one of the most extensively researched medicines in the world. With its first medical uses dating back to the 1970s, BOTOX® Cosmetic has been the subject of over 2,500 studies and is approved for use in more than 98 countries for various medical and cosmetic applications. This extensive body of research, coupled with decades of clinical experience, has solidified BOTOX® Cosmetic reputation for safety and efficacy. At Bosley, we remain committed to harnessing the latest scientific findings and integrating them into our procedures to ensure the best outcomes for our clients.

People who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain neurological diseases should not use Botox Cosmetic. It's crucial to discuss your health history with your doctor to determine if BOTOX® Cosmetic is a safe option for you.

BOTOX® Cosmetic injections may cause some discomfort, but they are typically not painful. The needles used are some of the smallest needles available.

Results will not be apparent immediately. Most people start seeing results from BOTOX® Cosmetic within 3 to 5 days after their treatment, but it can take up to 2 weeks to see the full effect.

You can have BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments either two weeks before or two weeks after your hair transplant. This gives ample time for your body to recover from one procedure before undergoing another. Always consult with your healthcare provider to plan your treatments safely and effectively.

While rare, some individuals might have resistance to BOTOX® Cosmetic, especially if they have antibodies that neutralize the toxin. Others might require different dosages or injection techniques to achieve the desired effects. Your provider can explore alternative approaches or treatments.
