FDA
approved BOTOX®Cosmetic is a simple non-surgical
treatment for wrinkle reduction, facial sculpting
and eyebrow shaping.The most common areas
for treatment are the frown lines between
the brows, forehead lines, and crow's feet.
Patients can return to normal activities
immediately after treatment. There
is no down-time making
it an ideal treatment for people on the go
or those not quite ready for cosmetic
surgery. It is important to remember
that
Botox® Cosmetic
is neither a cure for wrinkles nor does it
prevent wrinkles. Sunscreens and an appropriate
topical skin care program can help reduce
the signs of aging, while regular Botox Cosmetic
treatments can eliminate or minimize the
appearance of facial wrinkles.
BOTOX® has been used safely since 1989
when the FDA appoved it's use for certain
ocular (eye) disorders. The therapeutic
uses for BOTOX® are varied and many,
and now can be used safely for facial cosmetic
benefits as well.
Botox® Cosmetic
is a safe, highly purified protein which
works by blocking nerve impulses and relaxing
the muscles which contract to cause lines
and wrinkles of expression. The effects of
BOTOX® Cosmetic will be seen in anywhere
from 2 days to 2 weeks, with the optimum
benefit reached at 30 days. Results last
up to 4 months, but individual results may
vary. A repeat treatment is recommended every
3-4 months to maintain a smoother, more youthful
appearance.
New
uses of BOTOX® have included the sculpting
and contouring of eyebrows to accentuate
certain facial attributes, such as making
the eyes look wider or emphasizing natural
curves of the face. Some examples include
lift of the center of the eyebrow to create
a natural arc or the outer edge to create
a more exotic look.
