botox

Dynamic wrinkles occur when we smile, laugh or frown, and the delicate muscles underlying aging skin contract.

After years of repetitive expressions the skin around the eyes and forehead often develops deep lines and

wrinkles. These lines are known as dynamic wrinkles or expression lines, caused by the underlying facial

muscles.

So can we get rid of them to look younger ? The answer is “YES”. BOTOX® injection is a simple, non-surgical

treatment that can temporarily smooth moderate furrows or wrinkles on the forehead, in between the eyebrows

and crows feet at the outer aspect of the eye. BOTOX injection does not eliminate the skin wrinkle, but instead

works on the muscle underneath. After injection, the muscle can no longer contract to form a furrow or wrinkle.

The end result is a smoother appearance of the skin making you look younger. It is the only treatment of its type

approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) USA.

One 10-minute treatment—a few tiny injections—and within days there's a noticeable improvement in those

persistent lines on the face, which can last up to 4 months.

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium, which reduces the

activity of the muscles that cause those furrows or wrinkles to form over time.

A million people have been treated with FDA-approved BOTOX® Cosmetic. There's only one BOTOX®

Cosmetic. Talk to your doctor to see if BOTOX® Cosmetic is right for you!

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 can last for up to 4 months, and may vary.

• BOTOX® Cosmetic has been used to treat a million people in the United States since it 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.

• The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery ranked BOTOX® Cosmetic as the most popular of all

physician-administered cosmetic procedures (surgical and nonsurgical combined) in 2002 and 2003.

Here's what you might expect at the doctor's office from the moment you arrive until your procedure is done.

No anesthesia is required, although your doctor may choose to numb the area with a cold pack or anesthetic

cream.

The procedure.

Your doctor will determine where to administer the injections by examining your ability to move

certain muscles in your brow area. The entire BOTOX® injection procedure takes approximately 10 minutes.

After the procedure. There's no recovery time needed. You're ready to get on with your day!

Seeing results.
