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.

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.

Other side effects include pain and redness where the medicine is injected, pain in the face, and muscle weakness.These effects generally occur within the first week and usually go away on their own.

Your own results may vary - be sure to talk to your doctor about what you can expect.

How soon will I need a second treatment? What happens if I decide not to continue?

The effect of each treatment can last up to four months - be sure to schedule your follow-up treatments in advance.

If you decide not to continue with BOTOX® Cosmetic, the area between your brows will eventually go back to its pretreatment appearance.

Imagine young - looking, wrinkle-free skin. For patients with well-defined wrinkles or creases, such as the fold between their nose and mouth, most cosmetic surgeons surveyed agree that injectable fillers may be the best treatment available to date. Previously, the only way to fill these wrin­ kles was with a lifetime of bovine (cow) collagen injections, which can cause allergic reactions, or solid implants that can look and feel unnatural.

Now our practice can provide you with a safe, long-lasting, natural alternative to these tissue fillers with RADIESSE.

Radiesse Soft Tissue Enhancement

What is RADIESSE?

RADIESSE is the first calcium hydroxylapatite injectable cohesive implant used for soft tissue aug­ mentation. Over the last seven years, RADIESSE has proven to be a safe and effective alternative for those patients wishing to avoid the potential side effects of bovine and solid implant materials. RADIESSE consists of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in a biocompatible carboxymethylcellulose gel. It is long lasting and does not require a skin test because it is the same mineral component found in our bones and teeth.

By supplementing your skin's own depleted collagen with RADIESSE, we can smooth out wrinkles and most scars. We can also improve the appearance of deeper frown lines and nasal furrows. RADIESSE is a safe, effective, time-tested, non-surgical wrinkle treatment that provides immediate results.
