Botox injections work by blocking nerve impulses that tell muscles to contract, which can
smooth out the skin and make it look more refreshed. The effects of Botox can last for about three to four months.
St. Anthony offers cosmetic Botox injections for the forehead, eyebrows, nose and around the eyes.
Some people get Botox injections as part of a regular regimen to maintain a youthful appearance, while others may get touch-ups before special occasions. According to a 2018 survey, 62% of respondents said that Botox treatment was worth the investment.
Botox is generally considered safe and effective for cosmetic use. It doesn't cause any long-term adverse side effects, and the FDA has evaluated it for safety and efficacy in treating frown lines and forehead lines in adults.
Insurance companies generally don't cover Botox for cosmetic reasons, such as wrinkles. Even if your insurance doesn't cover Botox, you may be able to save money with resources like the Botox Savings Program, myAbbVie Assist for Botox, and GoodRx coupons.
