FAQs

Got a question? We’re here to help.

How does BOTOX® work?

Repeated muscle contractions from frowning, squinting, or raising eyebrows cause skin to furrow and fold, gradually resulting in the formation of facial lines. BOTOX® Cosmetic works beneath the surface and temporarily reduces the underlying muscle activity that causes moderate to severe frown lines, crow's feet and forehead lines in adults - to help them look better.

What should I expect from my BOTOX® treatment?

Some patients receiving BOTOX® Cosmetic report the injections feel like a pinch. Your injector will have options for relief of the discomfort should you need!

You may begin to notice a visible smoothing of frown lines, crow's feet and forehead lines within 24 to 48 hours, with full results in 2 weeks lasting up to 4 months for moderate to severe frown lines. BOTOX® Cosmetic is not a permanent treatment. If you discontinue treatment the moderate to severe frown lines, crow's feet and forehead lines will gradually return.

Will I look unnatural or “overdone”?

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a technique-sensitive treatment. You can trust BOTOX® Cosmetic to deliver subtle results when you are treated by someone who is licensed, trained, and a medical expert in facial anatomy. So you'll look like yourself—only with less noticeable lines. No one should be able to tell you've had anything done.

How long until I see results?

You may begin to notice results within 5 to 7 days, with full results in 2 weeks which can last up to four months for moderate to severe frown lines. Remember that results vary from patient to patient though, so your physician will plan your next appointment based on your results and aesthetic goals.

What is JUVÉDERM® and where is it used?

JUVÉDERM® is the #1 selling collection of hyaluronic acid fillers in the U.S. Each product in the JUVÉDERM® Collection of Fillers adds volume to a different area of the face—without surgery. All JUVÉDERM® fillers are smooth, crystal-clear gels that are administered by injection in your aesthetic healthcare provider's office.

Different formulations are approved to either volumeize cheeks, smooth parentheses lines, smooth vertical lip lines, or plump the lips. The results are subtle and long-lasting. Ask our highly trained injectors which JUVÉDERM® filler you need today.

What is the treatment experience like?

Your aesthetic healthcare provider will take your medical history and provide a facial analysis. Be prepared to discuss your aesthetic areas of concern. This is not a surgical treatment. Actual treatment with JUVÉDERM® injectable gels can take 15 minutes to 60 minutes, depending on which area of your face is being treated.

Does it hurt?

JUVÉDERM® injectable gels labeled with "XC" contain pain-reducing lidocaine to help manage pain or discomfort during the injection. You may also ask your aesthetic healthcare provider about a topical numbing cream or ice to help further minimize discomfort.

How much does it cost?

The cost not only includes the price of the product but, more importantly, the skill and expertise of the specialist or healthcare professional who is administering your treatment. Look for someone who is licensed and trained and has experience treating patients with the JUVÉDERM® Collection. It is more important to find an experienced specialist who will take the time to understand your treatment goals and develop a treatment plan that is right for you.
