General Information:  Botulinum Toxin Cosmetic
Our most popular treatment: a 10-minute procedure that smoothes wrinkles and softens worry lines. Approved by the FDA as a safe and effective treatment.

Most of us would like to look younger, but we do not have the time or the inclination to have cosmetic surgery. In recent years however, Botulinum Toxin Cosmetic treatment has gained popularity as a procedure that offers dramatic improvements without surgery or a long recovery period.


Treatments Include:
 
  • Forehead wrinkles
  • Frown lines between the eyebrows
  • Crow's feet
  • Wrinkles above lip
  • Botulinum Toxin Type A Cosmetic has consistently been one of the top noninvasive cosmetic procedures performed since 2002. Considering how safe and effective it is in treating facial wrinkles it is no wonder that men and women are increasingly choosing Botulinum Toxin Cosmetic to combat the signs of aging.

    Botulinum Toxin Type A Cosmetic is by no means a new treatment. It has been used worldwide since 1980 to treat misalignment of the eyes and eyelid spasms and a variety of medical conditions. Since 2002, the Food and Drug Administration has approved its use for cosmetic treatment.

    Botulinum Toxin Type A Cosmetic is a purified protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. Its use for cosmetic treatments is approved by the FDA to be safe and effective. During treatment you receive minute doses of the Botulinum Toxin Type A protein in specifically targeted muscles.

    If you are tired of the way wrinkles make you feel and look, it may be time to consider Botulinum Toxin Cosmetic treatment. Our professional medical staff at Monterey Bay Laser Aesthetics will personally assess your cosmetic needs and determine the right course of treatment for you.

    Frequently Asked Questions: Botulinum Toxin Type A Cosmetic

    What exactly is Botulinum Toxin Type A Cosmetic?
    It is a natural purified protein which relaxes overactive facial muscles that cause frown lines and wrinkles.

    Is it safe?
    Botulinum Toxin Type A has been safely used to treat a variety of conditions for more than ten years. It is FDA-approved for the treatment of frown lines in people aged 18 to 65.

    What are the most common areas treated?
    Frown lines, forehead lines and crows feet.

    Where does the Botulinum Toxin Type A protein go?
    It remains in the treated muscle and gradually disappears without traveling throughout the body.

    When will I see the effects? How long does it last?
    Effects are noticeable in two to three days and last about four months, after which lines gradually reappear.

    Will it radically change my appearance?
    No. Expect a dramatic improvement in the appearance of your frown lines. Overall, you'll look more relaxed and refreshed but not like you've had work done.

    Will it make me lose expression?
    No. The only expression you'll lose is in the unintentional frown lines due to overactive muscles.

    What Patients Can Expect With a Botulinum Toxin Type A Cosmetic Treatment:

    • 10-minute procedure consisting of a few tiny injections.
    • No anesthesia is required. Discomfort is minimal and brief - most patients compare the sensation to a bug bite.
