Though BOTOX® Cosmetic injections can enhance your appearance and your self-confidence, it probably won't transform you into your idealized image or change how other people treat you. Before you decide to have BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment, you should think carefully about your expectations and discuss them with Dr. Markus.

Dr. Markus will discuss with you your candidacy for treatment as well as your specific circumstances. You may be a good candidate for BOTOX® Cosmetic injections if:

• You have dynamic wrinkles on your face or neck
  
• You understand the procedure and its benefits and limitations
  
• You are in good physical and psychological health

What BOTOX® Cosmetic Can and Cannot Do. BOTOX® Cosmetic can temporarily remove wrinkles by preventing the repeated facial expressions that contribute to their formation. BOTOX® Cosmetic cannot improve your skin's texture; to improve the texture you should consider a chemical peel or laser skin resurfacing. BOTOX® Cosmetic will not tighten your skin; to tighten your skin you should consider a face or forehead lift.

Who Should Not Have BOTOX® Cosmetic Treatments. You should not have BOTOX® Cosmetic injections if you have a neuromuscular or bleeding disorder or a skin disease in the treatment area. Woman should not have BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments if they are pregnant or breastfeeding.
