BOTOX® Cosmetic is the only treatment approved by the FDA for the temporary relief of moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in people 18 to 65 years of age. With one simple 10-minute treatment, results can be seen within a couple of days and can last for up to 4 months. Individual results may vary.

The cosmetic form of botulinum toxin, often referred to by its product name Botox®, is a popular non-surgical injection that temporarily reduces or eliminates frown lines, forehead creases, crows feet near the eyes and thick bands in the neck. The toxin blocks the nerve impulses, temporarily paralyzing the muscles that cause wrinkles while giving the skin a smoother, more refreshed appearance. Studies have also suggested that Botox is effective in relieving migraine headaches, excessive sweating and muscle spasms in the neck and eyes.

Men also appreciate the benefits of Botox. A man who has pronounced lines between his brows may be perceived as angry or stressed—and he doesn't want to look that way. This treatment requires little time out of the office. So, it’s possible to have the procedure done during a lunch hour and head right back to the office.
