BOTOX®

It’s all about freedom of expression. Almost 3.3 million BOTOX® Cosmetic procedures were performed in 2005 alone. Not just models and movie stars, but people from all types of professions.

BOTOX® Cosmetic can temporarily smooth moderate to severe frown lines between your brows for up to 4 months. Of course, we know that seeing is believing. So, take a look at men and women who have had BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments, and see for yourself!

If you’re planning on being treated with BOTOX® Cosmetic, you might want to take pictures of yourself before your first treatment. Then a week later, take new pictures so you can see the results. Your doctor might even do this as part of the procedure. Chances are, you’ll like what you see!

Do not use BOTOX® Cosmetic if you:

  • have an infection where BOTOX® Cosmetic will be injected
  • are allergic to any of the ingredients in BOTOX® Cosmetic
  • are pregnant or think you might be pregnant.

Only your doctor can decide if BOTOX® Cosmetic is right for you. Before starting treatment, tell your doctor if you:

  • have any diseases that affect your nerves and muscles. These diseases may increase your chance of side effects with BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment.
  • are breastfeeding
  • are planning to become pregnant soon.

Be sure that your doctor knows the names of all the medicines you are using, including:

  • antibiotics used to treat infections, such as gentamicin, tobramycin, clindamycin, and lincomycin
  • medicines used to treat heart rhythm problems, such as quinidine
  • medicines used to treat different conditions, such as myasthenia gravis or Alzheimer’s disease.
  • As with all prescription medicines, you should also notify your doctor if you are taking any over-the-counter medicines or herbal products.
  • This is not a complete list of medicines that can interact with BOTOX® Cosmetic. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for the Professional Package Insert for complete information.

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.
