BOTOX Cosmetic in Birmingham AL
Less Noticeable Frown Lines, Crow's Feet and Forehead Lines
BOTOX Cosmetic is FDA-approved to temporarily make moderate to severe frown lines, crow's feet and forehead lines look better in adults. BOTOX delivers predictable, subtle results so you look like you, only with less noticeable facial lines.
BOTOX® Cosmetic targets the repeated muscle contractions from frowning, squinting, smiling and raising the eyebrows over the years. Your doctor at our cosmetic center in Birmingham, Alabama will inject these muscles with BOTOX to temporarily reduce muscle activity. You will begin to notice that the frown lines between your brows, crow's feet lines and forehead lines temporarily look better.
Treatments with botulinum toxin are quick and minimally-invasive, requiring only a few tiny injections into the muscles that cause wrinkles. The entire procedure takes approximately 10 minutes and discomfort is usually minimal and brief. Most patients are in and out without downtime.
BOTOX Cosmetic Cost: $250 per site.
BOTOX Cosmetic Candidates
Everyone's lines form differently. The timing can be influenced by a combination of factors: cellular changes that may occur over time, reduction of collagen, genetic factors, and damage caused by free radicals from the sun and the environment.
Patients don't necessarily need to be over 40 to start using BOTOX Cosmetic. It's the severity of your lines rather than age that determines when BOTOX is right for you. In fact, 64% of plastic surgeons report seeing a rise in cosmetic surgery or injectable treatments for patients in their early 30's.
Not just for women, many men make BOTOX Cosmetic part of what they do to care for their appearance. When surveyed, the majority of men say they want to look good and are bothered by the changes they see in the mirror.
BOTOX Cosmetic Treatments
The physicians at Hedden & Gunn Plastic Surgery can help you determine if treatment with BOTOX Cosmetic is right for you. We will discuss your treatment goals and perform a facial analysis to determine the appropriate treatment areas. BOTOX Cosmetic is approved to treat moderate to severe frown lines, crow's feet and forehead lines. If you are deemed to be a suitable candidate, the injection may take place on that same day.
You can trust BOTOX to deliver natural-looking results with Dr. William Hedden, Dr. Stephen Gunn or Dr. Joshua Halka. Often called a lunchtime procedure, treatments are quick and require no downtime or recovery.
Prior to injection, the area may be numbed with a cold pack or anesthetic cream. Some patients report that being injected with BOTOX feels like a pinch.
BOTOX Cosmetic Results
You may begin to notice results within 24 to 48 hours, with full results in 30 days, with results lasting up to 4 months for moderate to severe frown lines. Remember that results vary from patient to patient, so your physician will plan your next appointment based on your results and aesthetic goals.
With BOTOX Cosmetic, you can get noticeable results and still look like yourself. You should not lose the ability to show expressions. Although the results are visible, a BOTOX treatment will not radically change your facial appearance or make you look as if you have "had work done." The muscle activity that causes frown lines between the brows is temporarily reduced, so you can still frown or look surprised without the wrinkles and creases between your brows.

BOTOX Cosmetic Research and Studies
Backed by more than 20 years of published studies, BOTOX Cosmetic is the most widely researched and studied neurotoxin treatment. The safety and efficacy of BOTOX has been described in more than 528 peer-reviewed articles in scientific and medical journals. BOTOX is approved for use in 98 countries.
In two clinical trials, a majority of patients reported they were "mostly or very satisfied" with their overall treatment results at day 60. These patients also reported the same responses for the natural-looking result of treatment for their frown and forehead lines. In a 2022 survey, a majority of respondents treated for their crow's feet lines said they "completely or somewhat agreed" that BOTOX provides natural-looking results.
BOTOX Cosmetic Safety and Side Effects
Three percent of patients experienced eyelid drooping in the frown lines studies, one percent of patients experienced eyelid swelling in the crow's feet studies, and one percent of patients experienced brow drooping in the forehead lines studies. Other possible side effects include: dry mouth; discomfort or pain at the injection site; tiredness; headache; neck pain; eye problems: double vision, blurred vision, decreased eyesight and dry eyes; and allergic reactions.
