How does BOTOX^® Cosmetic work?

Very low doses of BOTOX^® Cosmetic are administered via a few tiny injections directly into the muscles responsible for the frown lines. By blocking the release of the chemical that causes the muscle to contract, BOTOX^® Cosmetic enables them to relax, so the skin appears smoother.

One 10-minute treatment—a few tiny injections—and within days there's a noticeable improvement in those persistent lines between the brows. Results can last up to 4 months. There’s no recovery or downtime. Many patients receive BOTOX^® Cosmetic treatments during their lunch break!

BOTOX^® Treatments for Hyperhydrosis
BOTOX^® is also FDA-approved for Hyperhydrosis (severe underarm sweating) that is inadequately managed with topical agents. BOTOX^® helps control this condition by temporarily blocking the chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands. When the sweat glands don't receive chemical signals, the severe sweating stops.
