Botox Cosmetic
BOTOX Cosmetic is a simple, non surgical, physician-administered treatment that can temporarily smooth moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in people, 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, which reduces the activity of the muscles that cause those frown lines between the brows in people ages 18 to 65. Because frown lines are dynamic lines caused by overactive muscles beneath the skin, they can usually be treated by administering very low doses of BOTOX Cosmetic directly into the muscles via a few tiny injections.
Static lines, on the other hand, are lines that are visible even when the muscles are at rest. These lines are usually treated by injecting a filler.
BOTOX has been used therapeutically for over 17 years to treat a variety of medical conditions. It is approved in more than 75 countries and remains one of the most widely researched medicines in the world. The same formulation with dosing specific to moderate to severe frown lines was approved in 2002 as BOTOX cosmetic.
