BOTOX®
Botox: The underlying tissue that keeps our skin youthful and plump begins to break down with age, often leaving frown lines, crow’s feet, smoker’s lines, laugh/smile lines,
neck bands over the areas where muscle movement occurs. Botox has been approved by the FDA and is a successful procedure to treat the symptoms above.

BOTOX cosmetic treatment is a simple non-surgical procedure for smoothing deep persistent lines that are formed over the time due to muscle movements.
BOTOX works by temporarily relaxing the muscle. It has become a standard treatment for frown lines (glabella) and also used for forehead,
crow’s feet, smoker’s lines, smile lines, “bunny nose” as well as for many other areas of face and neck. BOTOX has also been approved
for treating severe underarm and palm sweating and chronic headache.
BOTOX has been used for more than 20 years. The procedure is very safe and effective. There is minimal discomfort and no down time involved. The treatment consists of
several small injections. It can be performed over your lunch break and will not be even noticeable after! The effects are seen as early as 72 hours and reach a peak at 2 weeks.
Results usually last from 3 to 5 months after your first treatment and even longer after repeated treatments.

BOTOX® F.A.Q
Here are the answers to some frequently asked questions. For more information , please visit www.Botox.com
What is Botox?
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium. It is a nonsurgical, physician-administered treatment that can temporarily reduce moderate to severe frown
lines between the brows in people 18 to 65 years of age. During treatment, very low doses of BOTOX® Cosmetic are administered via a few tiny injections directly into the muscles that cause those
stubborn lines. The treatment is usually done in about 10 minutes, and no recovery time is needed. Within days, you may see an improvement that can last up to 4 months. Results may vary.
How does BOTOX® 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.
How soon do results appear?
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® 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.
Who should administer BOTOX®?
Any authorized healthcare professional can administer BOTOX® Cosmetic, but dermatologists, plastic surgeons, ophthalmologists, otolaryngologists (ear, nose, and throat doctors), or other physicians
specializing in cosmetic procedures are generally more experienced. One of these physicians can help you decide if BOTOX® Cosmetic is right for you.
Is treatment 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.
Are there side effects?
The most common side effects following injection include temporary eyelid droop and nausea. Localized pain, infection, inflammation, tenderness, swelling, redness, and/or bleeding/bruising may be associated with the injection. Patients with certain neuromuscular disorders such as ALS, myasthenia gravis, or Lambert-Eaton syndrome may be at increased risk of serious side effects.
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.
Is BOTOX® affordable?
When considering your facial aesthetic options, BOTOX® Cosmetic is quite affordable. According to an American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery survey, BOTOX® Cosmetic is one of the low-entry-cost facial aesthetic procedures in the United States. Like other appearance-related investments, such as hair coloring and cuts, teeth whitening, and chemical peels, the cost must be weighed relative to your expectations. Consult your doctor for further information.
