BOTOX® Cosmetic
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a common anti-aging treatment that blocks the nerve impulses that create the muscle contractions responsible for creating expression lines on the face.
Treatment with botulinum type A (Botox) can relax the muscles that cause expression lines, thereby preventing wrinkles from forming and improving the appearance of existing wrinkles caused by facial expressions.
Botulinum type A can be used in a treatment called “facial shaping” to help improve asymmetry or other facial conditions that result from muscle action.
Botulinum type A can also be used to treat a condition called hyperhidrosis (excessive perspiration).
Ophthalmologists were the first doctors to perform and perfect BOTOX® Cosmetic injections, since BOTOX® was first invented to treat Amblyopia or Lazy Eye.
Due to an opththalmolist’s understanding of the eye region, they are the most qualified to perform BOTOX® Cosmetic Injections.
BOTOX® is a registered trademark of Allergan, INC.
In clinical trials, nearly 90% of all men and women surveyed rated the improvement in the appearance of frown lines between their brows after treatment with BOTOX® Cosmetic.
Results from BOTOX® Cosmetic can last from four to six months.
BOTOX® Cosmetic has been used to treat over 1 million patients in the United States according to the American Society Of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. ( ASAPS )
