users.
- BOTOX® Cosmetic is indicated for the temporary improvement
in the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between
the brows in people 18 to 65 years of age.
- BOTOX® Cosmetic should not be used in the presence of
infection at the proposed injection site(s) and in individuals
with known hypersensitivity to any ingredient in the formulation.
- Patients with neurological disorders such as ALS, myasthenia
gravis, or Lambert-Eaton syndrome may be at increased
risk of serious side effects. The most common side effects
include headache, respiratory infection, flu syndrome,
temporary eyelid droop and nausea.
- BOTOX® Cosmetic is administered by physicians and is
available only by prescription.
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. Most patients compare the sensation to a pin
prick.
- You may resume normal activity immediately. 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.
