What is Botox

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. In 2005, almost 3.3 million procedures were performed with FDA-approved BOTOX Cosmetic. There's only one BOTOX Cosmetic. Talk to your doctor to see if BOTOX Cosmetic is right for you!

The Treatment Process

The beauty of a BOTOX Cosmetic treatment is that it's a simple, 10-minute, non-surgical process. A few tiny injections, and within days there can be a noticeable improvement in the moderate to severe frown lines between the brows that can last up to 4 months. Results may vary.

And there's no recovery time. You can even do it on your lunch break. Your doctor will administer several tiny injections of BOTOX Cosmetic directly into the muscles that cause those moderate to severe frown lines between the brows.

Your doctor will determine where to administer the injections by examining your ability to move certain muscles in your brow area. The location, size, and use of the muscles that create a furrowed brow vary markedly among individuals. No anesthesia is required, although your doctor may choose to numb the area with a cold pack or anesthetic cream prior to injecting. Discomfort is usually minimal and brief. You can expect to be in and out of the physician's office without downtime. You may see a marked improvement in the moderate to severe frown lines between your brows within days. Improvement may continue for as long as a month, and could last up to 4 months.

BOTOX Cosmetic for Men

BOTOX Cosmetic is certainly not just for women. Women may talk about their looks more often, but men are concerned about their appearance as well. In nature, some male species have all the luck when it comes to looks. Think about a peacock and a peahen. It's the male who's got that gorgeous train, not the female. And the father of the lion family is the one with the glorious mane. With humans, it doesn't always work that way, but the fact is, guys do care about their looks. Why shouldn't they? A man who goes to the gym to work out and cares about his clothes and grooming is a man who not only cares about his appearance, but what it says about him personally, as well as in business. Men are also doing something about their brow lines. A man who has pronounced lines between his brows may be perceived as angry or stressed and he doesn't want to look that way. That's why it's not surprising that men are choosing BOTOX Cosmetic, a non-surgical, physician administered treatment.
