BOTOX®In 2006, 3.2 million procedures were performed with FDA-approved BOTOX® cosmetic. BOTOX® is a simple, non-surgical, physician administered treatment that can temporarily smooth moderate to severe frown lines between the brows, crow’s feet around the eyes and creases in the forehead. It is a purified protein that reduces the activity of muscles that cause unwanted facial lines perceived as anger, stress or wrinkles in both men and women. It has been used therapeutically for over 15 years to treat a variety of medical conditions such as migraines, muscle spasms, and excessive sweating. One 10-minute treatment of a few tiny injections will be applied to the desired location with a noticeable improvement that can last three to six months. No anesthesia is required and you may resume normal activity immediately afterward. It can take 2 to 8 days for the BOTOX to take optimal effect. Studies indicate that the duration of treatment benefits is increased over time so that you should require injections less frequently in the future. BOTOX® cosmetic leaves excellent results in smoothing wrinkled skin, leading to a more youthful appearance.
