Botox

 
Introduction to Botox

Botox Cosmetic is a purified protein administered in a simple non-surgical procedure that temporarily improves the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in people aged 18 to 65.

During Botox injection treatments, very low doses of Botox Cosmetic are administered via a few tiny injections directly into the muscles that cause those stubborn lines between the brows. Botox has been used therapeutically for over 15 years to treat a variety of medical conditions.  Botox Cosmetic Injections are approved in more than 75 countries. The same product with dosing specific to glabellar lines was approved in 2002 as BOTOX Cosmetic.

What causes frown lines between the brows?

The lines that appear between your brows actually result from muscle movement and the passage of time.

Two muscles are largely responsible for frown lines between the brows. When those muscles contract, they draw the brows together. As skin becomes less elastic over time, repeated frowning can result in those moderate to severe lines between the brows.
What are the common Botox side effects?
The most common botox side effects following injections of Botox Cosmetic include headache, respiratory infection, flu syndrome, temporary eyelid droop, and nausea. Patients with certain neurological disorders such as ALS, myasthenia gravis, or Lambert-Eaton syndrome may be at increased risk of serious botox side effects.
 
How soon will I see a difference?
You can expect to see results within days after botox injection treatment. The appearance of the area between your brows may continue to improve for up to a week. By the 30th day in a patient clinical study, 89% of patients judged the severity of their frown lines between their brows as moderate or better.
