COSMETICS
The Botox Cosmetic (OnabotulinumtoxinA) is a prescription
injectable neurotoxin used for temporarily smoothing
moderate to severe facial wrinkles (glabellar lines, crow’s feet,
forehead lines). It is manufactured by Allergan and comes in a
100 Units/vial formulation for cosmetic use.
Key Benefits:
Reduces appearance of facial wrinkles and fine lines.
Provides a smoother, more youthful facial appearance.
Effects typically last 3–4 months.
Procedure:
Administered by a licensed medical professional in a clinical setting.
The toxin is reconstituted with sterile saline (usually 2.5 ml for 100 Units).
Small doses are injected into specific facial muscles using a fine needle.
Procedure takes ~10–15 minutes; minimal downtime.
Patients are advised to avoid rubbing the treated area and remain upright for a few hours post-injection.
