BOTOX® COSMETIC AND DYSPORT®
WHAT IS BOTOX® COSMETIC?
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a simple, non-surgical treatment that can temporarily smooth moderate to severe frown lines between the brows and crow’s feet around the eyes in people from 18 to 65 years of age.
BOTOX Cosmetic is a non-surgical treatment that reduces frown lines and between the brows. During treatment, very low doses of BOTOX Cosmetic are administered via a few tiny injections directly into the muscles that cause those stubborn lines. The treatment is usually done in about 10 minutes, and no recovery time is needed.
How Does BOTOX® Cosmetic Work?
Those moderate to severe frown lines form over time as the result of muscle activity. BOTOX Cosmetic is injected directly into the muscles between your brows. It works by blocking the transmission of nerve impulses to the injected muscles; this reduces the activity of the muscles that cause those persistent lines to form.
Within days, you may see a marked improvement in the moderate to severe frown lines. Lines continue to improve for up to a month, and results can last for up to 4 months. In clinical trials, nearly 90% of men and women rated the improvement in their appearance as moderate to better one month after treatment. Results may vary.
Although the results are visible, a treatment with BOTOX Cosmetic will not radically change your facial appearance or make you look as if you “had work done.” The muscle activity that causes lines is simply reduced, so you can still frown or look surprised without the wrinkles and creases. If you choose to not continue treatments, the moderate to severe frown lines between your brows will gradually return to where they were before treatment.
