Frequently Asked Questions
 BOTOX®
Cosmetic is a simple, nonsurgical, physician-administered
treatment that can temporarily smooth moderate to severe
frown lines between the brows in people from 18 to 65 years
of age. It is the only treatment of its type approved by the
Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
One 10-minute
treatment—a few tiny injections—and within days there's a
noticeable improvement in moderate to severe frown lines
between the brows, which can last up to 4 months. Results
may vary.
BOTOX®
Cosmetic is a purified protein produced by the
Clostridium botulinum bacterium, which reduces the
activity of the muscles that cause those frown lines between
the brows to form over time.

between their brows as moderate to better 1 month after
treatment. Results vary.

- BOTOX®
Cosmetic was approved by the Food and Drug

FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS
What areas of my face can I receive
BOTOX®?
The
forehead, around the eyes (crows feet) and glabella (between
the eyes) all respond well to Botox.
How long does the
BOTOX®
last?
BOTOX®
lasts anywhere from 3 to 6 months. Each individual varies.
Is there any down time with
BOTOX®?
No. You may
have some tiny bumps where the injection sites are located
but these will disappear in a few hours.
What about other procedures?
Whether it's emu
oil, Dead Sea minerals, collagen creams, fruit acids, fat
injections, or chemical peels, there are more anti-wrinkle
procedures and products than you can shake a mascara wand
at.
BOTOX®
Cosmetic is the only treatment of its type approved by the
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the temporary
improvement of moderate to severe frown lines between the
brows. What's more, unlike many procedures and
over-the-counter wrinkle remedies, BOTOX®
Cosmetic treats the cause of these frown lines by reducing
the muscle contractions that cause the lines to form over
time.
You may see
creams or gels advertised, or products that claim to be
"better than BOTOX." However, none of these products is
associated with BOTOX® Cosmetic. The fact is,
there is only one BOTOX® Cosmetic.
Botox treatments
can be scheduled Monday to Friday.
