What is BOTOX Cosmetic?

• Also referred to as onabotulinum toxin A, BOTOX
  Cosmetic is a purified protein and neurotoxin
  complex that, when injected directly into the
  muscle, will cause relaxation. Produced in a
  controlled laboratory setting from the
  bacterium Clostridium Botulinum, BOTOX Cosmetic
  works by blocking the chemical signal that allows
  for nerve impulses to be sent to the muscle and
  cause movement.
• Dynamic wrinkles are formed by repetitive
  creasing in the skin, from the facial expressions
  that we make on a daily basis. Over time these
  wrinkles can become large, deep and permanent.
  BOTOX Cosmetic works by relaxing these muscles
  that cause dynamic wrinkles, so the skin is given
  a chance to smooth out naturally.

• A common misconception is that BOTOX Cosmetic
  will completely inhibit facial expression and
  movement. The goal of a treatment is to soften
  facial lines, while still providing patients with
  a natural appearance and the ability to display
  emotion.
• As one of the most recognized prescription
  products in the world, BOTOX Cosmetic is a
  leading procedures in the cosmetic and aesthetics
  field.

How are BOTOX Cosmetic Injections Performed?

• The first step is to schedule a free
  consultation with our professional injectionist
  experience administering BOTOX Cosmetic. we'll
  go over your health and medical history with you,
  discuss your goals, assess the areas you want to
  have treated, and will answer any questions you
  have.
• We'll take some "before" photos so you can see
  the improvements the treatment makes. BOTOX
  Cosmetic comes in a clear glass vial in the form
  of a vacuum sealed powder. It will be diluted
  with a sterile, non-preserved 0.9 sodium
  chloride solution, and the injectionist will draw
  it up into a syringe.
• We'll apply a topical numbing agent to your
  target treatment areas to reduce discomfort
  caused by the needle. The injections are made
  using a very fine needle (a 30 gauge), so
  discomfort is minimal. Just a few tiny pokes are
  needed per area, and the entire treatment will
  only take a few minutes

BOTOX Cosmetic Recovery and Results

• After the treatment, we'll give you some BOTOX
  Cosmetic aftercare instructions to take home with
  you. The injection site may be a bit red with
  some slight swelling and/or bruising, but this
  will subside within a few days. You'll be able to
  return to your usual daily activities right away.
• BOTOX Cosmetic results usually take 24 to 48
  hours to appear, and final results can take up to
  two weeks. The results can last on average from 3
  to 5 months, and vary from patient to patient.
  You will notice that gradual movement of the
  treatment area will return if you do not receive
  another injection treatment.
• It's been noted that over time, when patients
  keep up with their scheduled injections, the
  results last longer, and the time between
  subsequent treatments may be extended.

Common BOTOX Cosmetic Treatment Areas

• BOTOX Cosmetic is used to treat a few specific
  areas of the face, including
• Upper Forehead Lines  The horizontal lines on
  the forehead are caused by raising the eyebrows,
  which is due to the contraction of
  the frontalis muscle. Raising the eyebrows is
  often a result of surprise or worry, or simply to
  gain clearer vision. Those with heavy brows and
  lids may engage in this motion more often, which
  can cause wrinkles to form earlier, and be
  deeper.

• Crow's Feet  A muscle called the orbicularis
  oculi is what makes it possible for us to blink,
  close our eyes, and squint. It's located around
  the eyelid, and extends to the temple and upper
  part of the cheek. Years of moving the eyelids
  and squinting in bright sunlight eventually cause
  lateral canthal lines, more commonly known as
  crow's feet.
• Frown Lines Who knew such tiny muscles could
  cause so much trouble? The corrugator supercilii
  are located in the forehead and around the eyes,
  and most notably, at the beginning of the
  eyebrows near the bridge of the nose. Every time
  we frown or make a confused or worried
  expression, these tiny muscles contract, bringing
  the eyebrows together, and causing deep vertical
  furrows just above the nose.

Wrinkle Types Treated with BOTOX Cosmetic

• As we age, our faces develop two distinct types
  of wrinkles static and dynamic. BOTOX Cosmetic
  is ideal for treating dynamic wrinkles, but you
  have other options for static wrinkles
• Dynamic Wrinkles  These lines and wrinkles form
  as a result of muscle movement. Every time we
  smile, frown, laugh, cry, or make any other kind
  of facial expression, the muscles contract, and
  skin is pulled, pushed and folded. Over time,
  this repetitive movement causes lines, wrinkles
  and furrows on the face.Because BOTOX Cosmetic
  works by blocking the chemical signal that allows
  for nerve impulses to be sent to the muscle and
  cause movement, it's best for treating dynamic
  wrinkles.

• Static Wrinkles Even when the muscles in the
  face aren't moving, lines and wrinkles are being
  formed, and are called static wrinkles. They
  result from the skin's natural aging process,
  which means decreased elasticity and thinner
  skin, both of which make it more susceptible to
  wrinkling.
• Because static wrinkles are not a result of
  muscle movement, BOTOX Cosmetic is not an
  effective treatment. Instead, dermal fillers are
  a better option to plump and smooth the skin.
