WHAT IS BOTOX® COSMETIC?

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a simple, non-surgical, physician-administered treatment that can temporarily smooth moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in people from 18 to 65 years of age. It is the only treatment of its type approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

One 10-minute treatment—a few tiny injections—and within days there's a noticeable improvement in moderate to severe frown lines between the brows, which can last up to 4 months. Results may vary.

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium, which reduces the activity of the muscles that cause those frown lines between the brows to form over time.

In 2005, almost 3.3 million procedures were performed with FDA-approved BOTOX® Cosmetic.

For more permanent improvement of frown lines between the eyebrows Dr. Ruthie may suggest an Endoscopic Browlift.

BOTOX® Cosmetic injected under the skin into areas surrounding the eyes and mouth can smooth crow's feet and smooth lip lines to give the face a rejuvenated look. Dr. Ruthie may suggest a dermal filler such as Juvéderm™ to give the lip a fuller appearance.

There's only one BOTOX® Cosmetic. Talk to Dr. Ruthie to see if BOTOX® Cosmetic is right for you!
