Botox for Cosmetic in Fort Collins, CO

What Is Botox for Cosmetic Use?

Botox for Cosmetic is an injectable treatment derived from botulinum toxin type A. It works by gently relaxing overactive facial muscles that cause wrinkles and fine lines to form over time. When applied strategically, Botox softens expression lines without affecting your ability to show emotion.

Common areas treated with cosmetic Botox include:

• Forehead lines
• Crow’s feet (around the eyes)
• Frown lines between the eyebrows
• Bunny lines along the nose
• Fine lines around the mouth

In dentistry, Botox is often used to complement aesthetic treatments like veneers or Invisalign, creating a more harmonious and youthful overall appearance.
