BOTOX® Cosmetic
Most of us want our life experiences to be in memories and photos, not etched on our faces. Years of talking, laughing, smiling, and making various facial expressions will slowly change your face over time. As you age, wrinkles, lines, and creases become more apparent on the skin, especially on the face. Most commonly, people notice horizontal lines across the forehead, wrinkles by the outer eye corners (crow’s feet), and frown lines between the eyebrows and eyes.
It can be frustrating to feel like you don’t look like yourself due to frown lines and wrinkles developing. BOTOX® Cosmetic injections are performed in Denver, Colorado, for patients who want to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
What Is BOTOX® Cosmetic?
BOTOX® Cosmetic is an FDA-approved injection treatment that temporarily minimizes the appearance of facial lines. It is often used to treat forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines between the eyebrows. BOTOX® Cosmetic injections are ideal for patients who want to reduce lines and wrinkles while still looking like themselves.
Why Choose BOTOX® Cosmetic?
Some people are more susceptible to facial lines forming due to genetics. However, as you naturally age, you’re bound to experience lines and wrinkles due to repeated facial muscle contractions.
Benefits of BOTOX® Cosmetic injections may include:
- Smoothing out forehead lines
- Reducing frown lines and creases (between eyebrows/at the top of the nose bridge)
- Minimizing crow’s feet (wrinkles on outer eye corners)
What Are My BOTOX® Cosmetic Options?
When considering BOTOX® Cosmetic injections, it’s good to figure out what areas of your face you’d like to improve with treatment. Additionally, it’s essential to understand that BOTOX® Cosmetic is not permanent. If you want your results to last longer, you’ll need multiple rounds of treatment.
Chosen Areas
BOTOX® Cosmetic injections are FDA-approved to treat forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines. Since everyone’s face develops fine and deep lines at different times, some patients may have only one or two of the three problem areas described. Your BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment will involve whatever your chosen areas are to rejuvenate your skin and improve your appearance.
Frequency of Treatment
Depending on your desired goals and the severity of your facial lines, you may need multiple treatment rounds to achieve the results you want. Additionally, while BOTOX® Cosmetic injections can provide stunning, natural-looking results, they are not designed to permanently eliminate wrinkles and lines. If you would like to extend the longevity of your results, ask about the frequency of treatment options during your BOTOX® Cosmetic consultation.

How Are BOTOX® Cosmetic Injections Performed?
BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment is customized to help each individual patient achieve their goals. Steps may vary, but you can expect the following to occur during your appointment:
- Before the injections begin, your treatment plan will be reviewed with you once again.
- The BOTOX® Cosmetic specialist will inject the facial muscles, causing the wrinkles or lines. This weakens the underlying facial muscles, allowing for a more smooth appearance on the skin. The injections typically take less than 15 minutes to complete.
What Is BOTOX® Cosmetic Recovery Like?
During treatment, you may feel a pinching sensation from the injections. Your BOTOX® Cosmetic specialist may numb your treatment area prior to the injections to make you more comfortable.
After your BOTOX® Cosmetic injections, you can expect minimal downtime. Patients are able to go back to their regular routines immediately after treatment.
When Will I See My BOTOX® Cosmetic Results?
You can expect to see a difference in your face 24 to 48 hours after your BOTOX® Cosmetic injections. Final results should develop within the first 30 days, and you can expect them to last for up to four months.
