BOTOX®
to Diminish or Eliminate Frown Lines and Wrinkles
What is BOTOX®?
Botox is a purified protein administered by injection that
temporarily blocks the chemicals that cause facial muscles to
contract, thereby relaxing them and resulting in a flattening of
wrinkles and skin. Botox is administered directly into muscles that
cause lines and wrinkles.
What Can I Expect from a BOTOX Treatment?
Botox injections are quick and cause minimal discomfort. Most
patients compare the sensation to a bug bite. No anesthesia is
required. If you prefer, however, you may request a topical
anesthetic cream prior to an injection. You need to have the
anesthetic cream applied at least 45 minutes prior to an injection,
so you would need to come about an hour before your appointment. The
entire Botox treatment (without anesthetic) takes no more than 10
minutes. You will see results within 2 to 7 days and you will
continue to see improvement over the next 30 days. You may resume
normal activity immediately.
How Long Do the BOTOX Results Last?
Visible results from a Botox treatment last up to 4 months. We
recommend treating you every 3 months for the first year. If you
follow this schedule, after that, you should require only 1-2 Botox
treatments a year to maintain your results. Or you may choose to get
your Botox treatments as you determine they are needed.
Are these Treatments Safe?
Yes. In 2005, 3.3 million Botox Cosmetic treatments were
administered in the US. The FDA approved Botox for cosmetic
treatments of the glabellar lines (between eyebrows) in 2002. Botox
received the highest patient satisfaction rating in 2003 and 2004
for all medically administered treatments.
Our Client, “IRMA,” says this about her BOTOX treatments:
“I had a huge frown line between my eyebrows that was so deep I
would wear long bangs to cover it up. Now I proudly wear short
bangs, or pull by hair back, to show off my forehead which is now
free of wrinkles and that nasty frown line. I now get so many
compliments about my skin, and that’s thrilling at age 55!”
