At FIT Medical Weight Loss, we are proud to offer BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments as part of our aesthetic services. BOTOX® Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA) is the only FDA-approved treatment that temporarily improves the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the brows and crow’s feet in adults. If you’re ready to refresh your appearance and reduce the signs of aging, our skilled professionals are here to help.
Why Choose BOTOX® Cosmetic?
BOTOX® Cosmetic works by targeting one of the primary causes of frown lines and crow’s feet: the repeated muscle contractions from expressions such as frowning and squinting over the years. By temporarily reducing muscle activity in these areas, BOTOX® helps smooth the skin and create a more youthful appearance.
- FDA-Approved: The only treatment of its kind approved to temporarily reduce frown lines and crow’s feet.
- Proven Results: Results are visible shortly after treatment and can last up to four months.
- Quick and Convenient: Known as a “lunchtime procedure,” each session takes approximately 10 minutes and involves minimal downtime.
What to Expect During Your BOTOX® Treatment
How It Works:
- For frown lines, BOTOX® Cosmetic is injected into the corrugator and procerus muscles between the eyebrows.
- For crow’s feet, BOTOX® Cosmetic is injected into the orbicularis oculi muscles surrounding the eyes.
These precise injections help reduce muscle activity, smoothing the skin and minimizing the appearance of lines. The treatment is technique-sensitive, which means that when performed by our licensed and trained providers—experts in facial anatomy—you can expect subtle, natural-looking results.
Common Questions About BOTOX® Cosmetic
Will I Look Overdone? Rest assured, BOTOX® Cosmetic will not make you look overdone. When administered by a qualified provider, you will maintain the ability to express emotions naturally. It’s important to communicate your desired results to your provider to ensure you achieve a refreshed, youthful look without sacrificing your unique expressions.
Does the Treatment Hurt? Most patients report that the sensation feels like a pinch. To minimize any discomfort, ice or a topical numbing cream may be used before the injections.
How Long Does Treatment Take? A typical BOTOX® Cosmetic session takes about 10 minutes, making it easy to schedule during a lunch break or between appointments. There is minimal downtime, allowing you to return to your day quickly.
Are There Side Effects? In clinical studies, some patients experienced side effects such as eyelid drooping (3% in frown lines studies) or eyelid swelling (1% in crow’s feet studies). Other side effects may include discomfort at the injection site, headache, and eye-related issues like double vision or blurred vision. It’s essential to discuss potential side effects with your provider and address any concerns before treatment.
