Botox is a medication that can relax the muscles of facial expression. It is used primarily for reducing the appearance of the wrinkles caused by years of smiling, laughing, and frowning. The areas that respond the best to Botox are the smile lines around the eyes (Crow's feet), the frown lines between the eyebrows (Glabellar lines), and the forehead lines (Frontalis lines). Dr. Lin is an experienced Botox physician and is a member of the Botox Physician's Network.
What is BOTOX® Cosmetic?
A BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment is a simple, nonsurgical procedure that smoothes the deep, persistent lines between your brows that develop over time. One 10-minute treatment -- a few tiny injections -- relaxes the muscles that cause those lines to form and keeps them relaxed up to 4 months. BOTOX® Cosmetic has been widely tested. Now it's approved by the FDA.The results are dramatic and apparent within days. In clinical trials, nearly 90% of the men and women surveyed rated the improvement in their brow lines as moderate to better. For many, BOTOX® Cosmeti"ually "erases" these lines. Unlike surgery, BOTOX® Cosmetic is fast, simple, and minimally invasive, with no downtime or recovery. Most people return directly to work or normal activity following treatment. Within days, they report looking more natural and relaxed. With BOTOX® Cosmetic, they'll know you've done something, they just won't know what.
What isn't BOTOX® Cosmetic?
BOTOX® Cosmetic is not magic. It's medicine, the result of years of careful research and testing. Allergan's BOTOX® product is the only one of its type with over 10 years of success in treating patients with a variety of conditions. With dosing specific to treat frown lines, this same product is now available as BOTOX® Cosmetic.
BOTOX® Cosmetic will not radically change your appearance or make you look like you've had "work done." It will not make you look 20 years younger. Because it's highly localized and administered intramuscularly, its effects are usually confined to the region of injection, and BOTOX® Cosmetic does not remain in your body indefinitely.
