BOTOX®

Originally developed by an ophthalmologist to alleviate non-cosmetic medical conditions, BOTOX® has become the most popular treatment for removing lines created in the face by the many muscle contractions we have as we laugh, smile and frown. Approved by the FDA in 2002, BOTOX® is a natural, purified protein administered in tiny injections into overactive muscles of the face. BOTOX® blocks the nerve impulse to the muscle under the skin in the treated area and creates a more natural, line-free skin surface.

What is BOTOX®?
BOTOX® is the brand name for botulinum toxin type Q, nature’s most potent blocker of nerve impulses. BOTOX® is a registered trademark of the Allergan Corporation and is one of the least expensive cosmetic procedures, according to a survey by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.

How does it administered?
BOTOX® treatments are simple and safe. A tiny needle, causing minimal sensation and discomfort, is used to deliver the BOTOX® in a specified facial area. Primarily BOTOX® is used in the upper third of the face for the lines around the eyes and between the eyebrows. Lines and wrinkles that are controlled by muscle movement are decreased and smoothed with BOTOX®, creating a more youthful appearance.

Who can use BOTOX®?
Men and women ages 18 to 65 can use BOTOX®. Women who are pregnant or those with neurological problems are advised against having BOTOX® injections.

What are the side effects of BOTOX®?
Temporary bruising is the most common side effect varying from client to client. Rarely, BOTOX® can migrate to the wrong muscle causing drooping of the eyelid or unevenness of the brows. Having treatments from a highly skilled medical staff decreases the chances of this happening to about 1%. The effects of BOTOX® are completely reversible so any side effects are temporary.

How long does BOTOX® last?
The effects of BOTOX® are temporary and, on average, last 3-5 months. Early clinical studies indicate the duration of treatment effects increase over time so fewer injections could be required in the future.
