Botox Cosmetic
Softened lines, expression left intact.
A prescription neurotoxin that temporarily relaxes the muscles behind expression lines, smoothing forehead furrows, frown lines, and crow’s feet without freezing the face.
- Treatment time
- A few minutes per area
- Downtime
- None — normal activities may be resumed immediately
- Results
- Visible within a few days, typically lasting up to four months
What it treats
- Forehead furrows
- Frown lines (the "11s")
- Crow’s feet
- Bunny lines
- Neck bands
- Downturned smile corners
- Lower facial slimming (masseter)
How it works
Botox Cosmetic is a purified form of botulinum toxin A. Injected directly into targeted facial muscles with a fine needle, it blocks the nerve impulses that trigger muscle contraction — softening the lines those contractions create.
Who may be suitable
Patients seeking a natural softening of expression lines rather than a "frozen" look. Suitability is confirmed during a consultation with Dr. Marcelin.
Benefits
- No surgery or incisions
- Normal activities can resume immediately after treatment
- Results appear within a few days
- Dysport and Xeomin available as alternative FDA-approved neurotoxins
