Botox® Cosmetic Brow & Forehead Wrinkle Reduction

BEFORE Botox

Botox provides a safe, effective treatment to reduce brow and forehead lines.
Over time, those expressions leave their mark upon your face. Until today there wasn't a lot you could do about it. Today there's BOTOX Cosmetic. A simple, nonsurgical procedure that can dramatically reduce even your toughest wrinkle within days.
BOTOX Cosmetic is indicated for the temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe glabellar (frown) lines associated with corrugator and/or procerus muscle activity in adult patients aged 65 years or less.
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 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.
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.
Is BOTOX Cosmetic right for you? If you're between the ages 18 to 65 and doing all you can to look your best is important to you, BOTOX Cosmetic may be for you.
If reducing those tough lines between your brows would make you feel more approachable, BOTOX Cosmetic may be for you.
Thousands of appearance-conscious women and men have already discovered the benefits of BOTOX Cosmetic. Not just models and movie stars, but ordinary people -- teachers, mothers, and business people from all walks of life.
What can I expect from BOTOX Cosmetic treatment? Your doctor will determine exactly where to administer several tiny injections to achieve the best results. No anesthesia is required, although your doctor may choose to numb the area with a cold pack or anesthetic cream prior to injecting. The entire procedure takes approximately 10 minutes. Discomfort is minimal and brief -- most patients compare the sensation to a bug bite. It is unlikely you will develop significant side effects, although some people may develop slight temporary bruising at the injection site, which can easily be covered by makeup. You may resume normal activity immediately.
Within days, you'll see a marked improvement which may continue to improve for as long as a week and should last up to 4 months.
BOTOX Cosmetic relaxes the overactive muscles whose repeated contractions cause the lines between your brows to form. So you can frown, smile, or look surprised -- without the furrows, creases, and wrinkles.
The most common side effects are headache, respiratory infection, flu syndrome, temporary eyelid droop, and nausea. BOTOX Cosmetic should not be used if there is an infection at the injection site.
Will my lines look worse if I choose not to continue treatments? No. Your lines gradually revert to their pre-treatment appearance.
How long does BOTOX Cosmetic last? BOTOX Cosmetic lasts up to 4 months.
