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 Cosmetic virtually "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. Botox Cosmetic is not magic. It's medicine, the result of years of careful research and testing. 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.
Botox Cosmetic is a natural, purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium. Very low doses of Botox Cosmetic are administered via a few tiny injections directly into the overactive muscles that cause lines to form. Botox Cosmetic works by blocking the transmission of nerve impulses to the injected muscles. The effects of Botox Cosmetic are usually confined to the injected region; it does not travel throughout the body. When considering your facial aesthetic options, you'll find that Botox Cosmetic is quite affordable. According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery's 2000 survey, Botox Cosmetic is one of the least expensive facial aesthetic procedures, ranking 7th in the 9 most widely-used procedures in the United States.
