Botox

Botox Cosmetic contains onabotulinumtoxinA, a botulinum toxin medication administered by injection.

It works by temporarily reducing activity in selected muscles. For cosmetic treatment, this can soften the appearance of certain expression-related facial lines.

FDA-approved botulinum toxin products have cosmetic indications for specific types of facial lines. Depending on the product, these may include areas such as:

• Frown lines between the eyebrows
• Crow's feet around the eyes
• Forehead lines

Your physician will determine whether treatment is appropriate for the area you would like to address.

Your appointment begins with a consultation to discuss your concerns and desired outcome.

Dr. Aggarwal evaluates facial anatomy and muscle movement before determining the appropriate treatment areas. Small amounts of the medication are then administered into selected muscles using a fine needle.

No. Cosmetic botulinum toxin treatment produces temporary results. Muscle activity gradually returns over time, and facial lines may become more noticeable again.

Your physician can discuss an appropriate treatment schedule based on your response and goals.
