BOTOX^® COSMETIC

What causes frown lines between the brows? How does BOTOX^® Cosmetic help?

The lines that appear between your brows actually result from muscle movement and the passage of time.

Two muscles are largely responsible for frown lines between the brows. When those muscles contract, they draw the brows together. As skin becomes less elastic over time, repeated frowning can result in those moderate to severe lines between your brows.

BOTOX^® Cosmetic works by blocking nerve impulses, which reduces the movement of those muscles. With less movement, the skin surface gradually smoothes out, and the moderate to severe frown lines between your brows begin to fade.

Unretouched clinical photos taken while frowning before and 30 days after treatment with BOTOX^® Cosmetic. In clinical trials, 89% of patients rated improvement in frown lines between their brows as moderate or better at day 30. Individual results may vary.

Just what is BOTOX^® Cosmetic? Is it FDA approved?

Cosmetic is a purified protein. It is a nonsurgical, physician-administered treatment that can temporarily reduce moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in patients 18 to 65 years of age. During treatment, very low doses of B0T0X^® Cosmetic are administered via a few tiny injections directly into the muscles that cause those stubborn lines between the brows.

BOTOX^® Cosmetic is the only treatment of its type approved by the FDA for this use. The treatment is minimally invasive and nonsurgical. It requires no recovery time and causes little discomfort.
