What is BOTOX Cosmetic?
It is a purified protein administered in a simple nonsurgical procedure
that temoporarily improves the appearance of moderate to severe frown
lines in people aged 18 to 65. During treatment, very low doses of
BOTOX Cosmetic are administered by a few tiny injections directly
into the muscles that cause those stubborn lines or wrinkles.
BOTOX has been used therapeutically for over 15 years to treat a
variety of medical conditions. It is approved in more that 75 countries.
What is the difference between BOTOX Cosmetic and fillers?
Frown lines are caused by overactive facial muscles. Fillers mask
the wrinkle by adding volume around the muscle with intradermal injections.
BOTOX Cosmetic is intramuscular, blocking the chemicals that cause
facial muscles to contract, thereby relaxing them. BOTOX Cosmetic
is the only product of its type that affects the muscles that cause
these wrinkles.
What is treatment like?
It is quick and minimally invasive. A few tiny injections are made
into the muscles that cause moderate to severe wrinkle lines. The
entire procedure takes approximately 10 minutes. Discomfort is minimal
and brief. You may resume normal activity immediately.
You can expect to see results within a few days after your treatment.
The appearance of the areas treated may continue to improve for up
to a week.
Have patients been happy with their results?
According to a recent survey of 200 dermatologists and plastic surgeons,
BOTOX Cosmetic has the highest perceived patient satisfaction rating
of all physician administers treatments in 2003 and 2004. And for
the past 3 years, BOTOX Cosmetic was the most popular physician-administered
cosmetic procedure in the United States (surgical and nonsurgical
combined)
It is one of the least-costly facial aesthetic procedures. And when
you consider the difference it can make in the appearance of moderate
to severe wrinkles you may find BOTOX Cosmetic to be a great way
to invest in yourself.
