BOTOX

Is constant squinting and facial expressions causing your forehead to frown? Or maybe a crease between your eyebrows or on the edges of your eyes? BOTOX® can help eliminate those fine lines without freezing your expression!

One 10-minute treatment—a few tiny injections—and within days there's a noticeable improvement in moderate to severe frown lines between the brows, which can last up to 4 months. Results may vary.

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium, which reduces the activity of the muscles that cause those frown lines between the brows to form over time. When it comes to selecting a physician-administered aesthetic treatment, chances are you’ll want proof, not just claims. The proof for BOTOX® Cosmetic is in the numbers.

In clinical trials, nearly 90% of men and women surveyed rated the improvement in the appearance of frown lines between their brows as moderate to better 1 month after treatment. Results vary. Results can last for up to 4 months, and may vary.

BOTOX® Cosmetic was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2002 for the temporary treatment of moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in people ages 18 to 65, and almost 3.3 million procedures were performed in 2005 alone.

The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery ranked BOTOX® Cosmetic as the most popular physician-administered aesthetic procedure in the United States for the fourth year in a row (surgical and nonsurgical combined).

BOTOX® blocks the signals coming from the nerves to the muscles. so the muscles can no longer contract. This causes wrinkles to relax and soften. BOTOX® is used most often for lines on the forehead, crow's feet around the eye area and frown lines between the eyes. Wrinkles caused by sun damage and gravity will not respond to BOTOX® Cosmetic. Wrinkles which are present in the skin before active contraction of muscles will not be removed with BOTOX® Cosmetic.
