BOTOX® Cosmetic It's not magic, it's BOTOX Cosmetic.
Delicate muscles
beneath the skin contract and cause the skin to fold when we make
facial expressions.
As the years go by, these folds form
permanent creases that are called "dynamic wrinkles." Dynamic
wrinkles deepen with age and often create a terse, stressed
appearance. A Botox Cosmetic treatment is a simple,
non-surgcial procedure that smooths the deep persistent dynamic
wrinkles. A Botox Cosmetic treatment is fast,
simple and minimally invasive with no downtime or
recovery.

also members of the BOTOX®'s Educator's Faculty, that trains
physicians from all over the world about this wrinkle reducing
medication.

and minimally invasive treatment. Your doctor makes a few tiny
injections into the muscles that cause moderate to severe frown
lines between the brows.
Who can administer
BOTOX®

professional can administer BOTOX® Cosmetic, but
dermatologists, plastic surgeons, opthalmologist, otolaryngologist,
or other cosmetic physicians are generally more
experienced.
How soon will I see a
difference?
You can expect to see
results within days after your treatment. The appearance of
the area between your brows may continue to improve for up to a
week.
Are
BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments
painful?
Discomfort is minimal and brief. Your physician may
choose to use a local anesthetic cream or ice to minimize
this. Once the injection is complete, there is usually no
discomfort.
How long will the results
last?
Visible results can last up
to four months. After that, you may be ready to return for a
follow-up treatment. If you decide not to continue with BOTOX®

pretreatment appearance. |
