What Is BOTOX® Cosmetic?

BOTOX® Cosmetic is an injectable treatment that temporarily relaxes targeted muscles responsible for dynamic expression lines. It is commonly used for forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet, with little to no downtime for many patients.

Treatments That Can Complement BOTOX®

Because BOTOX® addresses muscle movement rather than every sign of aging, combining it with other treatments may provide a more comprehensive result.

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers can restore or enhance volume in areas such as the cheeks, lips, and under-eye region. Used alongside BOTOX®, fillers can address both dynamic wrinkles and age-related volume changes.

Laser and Light-Based Treatments

Laser and light treatments may improve pigmentation, redness, visible vessels, unwanted hair, and overall tone or texture. A provider can determine the safest timing between energy-based treatments and injectables.

Facials and Chemical Peels

Professional facials, chemical peels, dermaplaning, and microdermabrasion can exfoliate and refresh the skin’s surface, complementing the smoothing effects of injectable treatments.

Microneedling

Microneedling stimulates the skin’s natural repair response and collagen production. It can address texture and firmness while BOTOX® focuses on expression-related lines.
