BOTOX® Cosmetic

The muscles in our face help convey our emotions, contracting to cause expression lines that show when we are angry, surprised or worried. Initially this wrinkling is only present when the muscles are active, but over time the wrinkling can become more pronounced and permanent. BOTOX® Cosmetic is an FDA-approved protein that is administered into over-active facial muscles. BOTOX® Cosmetic injections can help smooth lines and creases in the brow area by temporarily paralyzing the muscles that cause wrinkling. BOTOX® Cosmetic injection is the most common physician administered cosmetic procedure nationwide, with more than 13 million BOTOX® Cosmetic injections performed since 2002. Dr. Michael McCracken is a recognized expert in BOTOX® Cosmetic injections and has been chosen by other physicians to be a member of the BOTOX® and Juvéderm® National Education Faculty. 

• Smooth moderate to severe frown lines on the brow
• Soften wrinkles and creases in the forehead
• Lessen the “crow’s feet” around the eyes
• Reduce the appearance of thick bands in the neck

The BOTOX® Cosmetic procedure takes about ten minutes, and there is only minimal discomfort. Patients can resume normal activities immediately, with visible improvements that can be noticed within days, and results typically lasting up to four months. Cosmetic fillers may be used along with BOTOX® Cosmetic injections to maximize facial rejuvenation.
