Actual Botox is not magic. It’s medicine, the result of years of careful research and testing. Allergan’s Botox® product is the only one of its type with over 10 years of success in treating patients with a variety of conditions. With dosing specific to treat frown lines, this same product is now available. Botox for cosmetic reasons will not radically change your appearance or make you look "like you’ve had work done." It will not make you look twenty years younger. Because it’s highly localized and administered intramuscularly, its effects are usually confined to the region of injection, and Botox® Cosmetic does not remain in your body indefinitely.
