What is BOTOX?
Botulinum toxin was originally introduced for the safe and effective treatment of muscle spasms (Botox® and Dysport®). In patients treated for hemifacial spasm it was noted that facial wrinkling decreased over the treated muscle. This experience lead to the development of Botox® for the treatment of facial wrinkles. People often dislike their central frown line, which is caused by concentrating, squinting, or frowning. Botox® can also be used to lessen crows' feet, bunny lines, marionette lines and smoker's lines. A Botox Cosmetic treatment is a simple, non-surgical procedure that smoothes the deep, persistent lines between your brows that developed over time.
HOW DOES BOTOX WORK
“The injection is almost painless. It can also
be used to shape the eyebrows into and arch or flare and to correct facial asymmetry.
Tiny quantities of the toxin are injected directly into the affected muscles.
It takes three to five small injections between the eyebrows to treat the frown line.
The treated muscles weaken over the following week or so. Most people do not notice
anything. They simply become aware that they are no longer able to contract the
frown muscles. They can still lift their eyebrows normally and blink without problems.
The injection is almost painless.
ADVANTAGES
The results are dramatic and apparent and within days. So you can frown, smile or look surprised - without the wrinkles and creases between your brows. Botox Cosmetic is fast, simple, and minimally invasive, with no downtime or recovery. Approved by the FDA.
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.
With Botox Cosmetic, they’ll know you’ve done something, they just won’t know what.
