BOTOX®
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a simple, non-surgical, physician-administered
treatment that can temporarily smooth moderate to severe frown
lines between the brows in men and women from 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 those persistent lines between the brows, which
can last 4-6 months. BOTOX® Cosmetic is a purified protein
produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium, which reduces
the activity of the muscles that cause those frown lines between
the brows to form over time. Visit http://botox.com for more
information about the other used of BOTOX including treatment
of headaches and blephorospasms (eye twitching) and even excessive
sweating.
What is BOTOX?
BOTOX® is the commercial tradename for Botulinum Toxin Type A.Botulinum
Toxin is derived from the bacterium Clostridium Botulinum. When
injected into muscles, Botulinum Toxin has a local effect. It blocks transmission
between the nerve endings and muscle fibres
around the injection site to cause weakness of the nearby muscle.
What is a treatment session like?
Your doctor will administer several tiny injections of botox directly
into the muscles of your face. Prior to injection, your doctor
will determine where to administer the injections by examining
your ability to move certain
muscles in your brow area. The entire botox injection procedure takes
approximately 10 minutes and does not require anaesthesia. Discomfort
is usually
minimal and brief.
What should I expect from BOTOX Treatment?
You should notice an improvement in your frown lines within 3 to
7 days, the effects of which can last 3-6 months. However,
results may vary.After a period of time, your frown lines will
begin to reappear
as the effects of botox wear off.
How often can Botox injections be given?
You can receive botox injections every 3 months. With repeated
treatments, atrophy occurs which produces
longer lasting results.
