BOTOX


WHAT BOTOX COSMETIC IS:

A BOTOX Cosmetic treatment is a simple, non-surgical procedure that smoothes the deep, persistent lines between your brows that developed over time. One ten-minute treatment--a few tiny injections--relaxes the muscles that cause those lines to form and keeps them relaxed up to four months. BOTOX Cosmetic has been widely tested. Now it's approved by the FDA.

The results are dramatic and apparent within days. In clinical trials, nearly 90% of the men and women surveyed rated the improvement in their brow lines as moderate to better. For many, BOTOX Cosmetic virtually "erases" these lines.

Unlike surgery, BOTOX Cosmetic is fast, simple, and minimally invasive, with no downtime or recovery. Most people return directly to work or normal activity following treatment. Within days, they report looking more natural and relaxed. With BOTOX Cosmetic, they'll know you've done something, they just won't know what.

WHAT BOTOX COSMETIC ISN'T:

BOTOX Cosmetic is not magic. It's medicine, the result of years of careful research and testing. Allergan's BOTOX product is the only one of its type with over 10 years of success in treating patients with a variety of conditions. With dosing specific to treat frown lines, this same product is now available as BOTOX Cosmetic.

BOTOX Cosmetic will not radically change your appearance or make you look "like you've had work done." It will not make you look twenty years younger. Because it's highly localized and administered intramuscularly, its effects are usually confined to the region of injection, and BOTOX Cosmetic does not remain in your body indefinitely.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM BOTOX COSMETIC:

Your doctor will determine exactly where to administer several tiny injections to achieve the best results. NO anesthesia is required, although he may choose to numb the area with anesthetic cream prior to injecting.

WHAT EXACTLY IS BOTOX COSMETIC?
BOTOX Cosmetic is a natural, purified protein produced by the clostridium botulinum bacterium. Very low doses of BOTOX Cosmetic are administered directly into the overactive muscles that cause lines to form. BOTOX Cosmetic works by blocking the transmission of nerve impulses to the injected muscles, and does not travel throughout the body.
