At Monmouth Eye Care, Botox® Cosmetic is used to treat crow’s feet, frown lines, and the furrows between your eyebrows. After a simple 20-minute treatment session, you can expect to see your fine lines and wrinkles diminish by about 80 percent within a few days, and you can expect the effects to last for up to six months.
BOTOX® History
BOTOX® Cosmetic was originally approved for the treatment of eye spasms and the correction of double vision during the 1980s. As a remarkable side benefit of BOTOX®, many patients noticed that the wrinkles around their eyes were diminished and began asking for further treatments specifically to achieve this wrinkle-reducing effect. In this age of quick, minimally-invasive aesthetic treatments, Eye Doctors has embraced this cosmetic revolution by safely and effectively offering non-surgical facial fillers such as BOTOX®, Radiesse and Juvederm in addition to our vision correction treatments.
What is BOTOX® Cosmetic?
BOTOX® Cosmetic, manufactured by Allergan, Inc., is a purified protein derived from botulinum bacterium type A. When injected directly into overactive facial muscles, BOTOX® Cosmetic temporarily blocks the transmission of nerve impulses to relax the facial muscles, thereby reducing or eliminating the appearance of wrinkles.
