| BOTOX® Cosmetic is a simple, nonsurgical, physician-administered treatment that can temporarily smooth moderate to severe lines around the eyes and on the forehead. It is the only treatment of its type approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA); BOTOX® Cosmetic is a purified protein which reduces the activity of facial muscles to minimize lines and wrinkles. Within 3 to 5 days you will notice less lines and results last up to 3 to 5 months. Benefits The visible benefits of BOTOX® injections have made them a popular cosmetic treatment BOTOX® treatments can give the face a younger, revitalized appearance. Wrinkles caused by facial expression and muscle movement are especially prevalent in the area around the eyes and forehead. Fortunately, these wrinkles are very responsive to BOTOX® treatments. One of the benefits of BOTOX® injections is that it weakens the muscles responsible for squinting and crinkling of the eye area. By minimizing facial movements, lines slowly diminish. Since BOTOX® injections only affect muscle nerves, not nerves of sensation patients do not experience a loss of feeling in the treated area. Areas to be treated Both men and women can be treated with BOTOX® Cosmetic to help reduce fine lines and wrinkles. The following areas are treatable: • In-between eyes • Forehead • Crows feet (around eyes) Up Close Frequently Asked Questions How does BOTOX® Cosmetic work? Those moderate to severe frown lines between your brows form over time as the result of muscle activity. BOTOX® Cosmetic is injected directly into the muscles between your brows. It works by blocking the transmission of nerve impulses to the injected muscles; this reduces the activity of the muscles that cause those persistent lines to form. When will I see results from a BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment? Within days, you may see a marked improvement in the moderate to severe frown lines between your brows. Lines continue to improve for up to a month, and results can last for up to 4 months. In clinical trials, nearly 90% of men and women rated the improvement in their appearance as moderate to better 1 month after treatment. Results may vary. How long does BOTOX® Cosmetic last? Results from treatment with BOTOX® Cosmetic can last for up to 4 months. If you discontinue treatment, the frown lines between your brows gradually will look like they did before treatment. Is treatment with BOTOX® Cosmetic painful? Discomfort is usually minimal and brief. Prior to injecting, your physician may choose to numb the area with a cold pack or anesthetic cream. The entire procedure takes approximately 10 minutes. Many people are in and out of the physician’s office without downtime following BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment. Will my facial expressions continue to look natural? Although the results are visible, a treatment with BOTOX® Cosmetic will not radically change your facial appearance or make you look as if you "had work done." The muscle activity that causes frown lines between the brows is simply reduced, so you can still frown or look surprised without the wrinkles and creases between your brows. What will happen to the frown lines between my brows if I choose not to continue treatments? If you do not continue treatments, the moderate to severe frown lines between your brows will gradually look like they did before treatment. |
