What isn't BOTOX® Cosmetic? Is BOTOX® Cosmetic right for you? What can I expect? Who is a good candidate? What exactly is BOTOX® Cosmetic? Are BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments painful? Will my lines look worse if I choose not to continue treatments? How long does BOTOX® Cosmetic last?

A BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment is a simple, non-surgical procedure that smoothes the deep, persistent lines between your brows that develop over time. One ten-minute treatment -- a few tiny injections -- relaxes the muscles that cause those lines to form and keeps them relaxed up to four months. BOTOX® Cosmetic has been widely tested. Now it's approved by the FDA.

The results are dramatic and apparent within days. In clinical trials, nearly 90% of the men and women surveyed rated the improvement in their brow lines as moderate to better. For many, BOTOX® Cosmetic virtually "erases" these lines.

Unlike surgery, BOTOX® Cosmetic is fast, simple, and minimally invasive, with no down time or recovery. Most people return directly to work or normal activity following treatment. Within days, they report looking more natural and relaxed. With BOTOX® Cosmetic, they'll know you've done something, they just won't know what.

BOTOX® Cosmetic is not magic. It's medicine, the result of years of careful research and testing. Allergan's BOTOX® Cosmetic product is the only one of its type with over ten years of success in treating patients with a variety of conditions. With dosing specific to treat frown lines, this same product is now available as BOTOX® Cosmetic.

BOTOX® Cosmetic will not radically change your appearance or make you look like you've had "work done." It will not make you look 20 years younger. Because it's highly localized and administered intramuscularly, its effects are usually confined to the region of injection, and BOTOX® Cosmetic does not remain in your body indefinitely.

If you're between the ages 18 to 65 and doing all you can to look your best is important to you, BOTOX® Cosmetic may be for you.

If reducing those tough lines between your brows would make you feel more approachable, BOTOX® Cosmetic may be for you.

Thousands of appearance-conscious women and men have already discovered the benefits of BOTOX® Cosmetic. Not just models and movie stars, but all people -- teachers, mothers, and business people from all walks of life.

Dr. Vincent will determine exactly where to administer several tiny injections to achieve the best results. No anesthesia is required, although Dr. Vincent may choose to numb the area with a cold pack or anesthetic cream prior to injecting. The entire procedure takes approximately ten minutes. Discomfort is minimal and brief -- most patients compare the sensation to a bug bite. It is unlikely you will develop significant side effects, although some people may develop slight temporary bruising at the injection site, which can easily be covered by makeup. You may resume normal activity immediately.

Within days, you'll see a marked improvement which may continue to improve for as long as a week and should last up to four months.

BOTOX® Cosmetic relaxes the overactive muscles whose repeated contractions cause the lines between your brows to form. So you can frown, smile, or look surprised without the furrows, creases, and wrinkles. The most common side effects are headacheS, respiratory infection, flu syndrome, temporary eyelid droop, and nausea. BOTOX® Cosmetic should not be used if there is an infection at the injection site.

BOTOX®  Cosmetic lasts up to four months.
