| What is Botox? |
|
Botox
is a natural, purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium.
Very low doses of Botox are administered via a few tiny injections directly
into the overactive muscles that cause lines to form. The medicine works
by blocking the transmission of nerve impulses to the injected muscles.
The effects of Botox are usually confined to the injected region; it does
not travel throughout the body. |
| What Botox Isn't |
|
Botox Cosmetic is not magic. It's medicine - the result of years of careful research and testing. It is specifically used in cosmetics to treat frown lines. Botox
will not radically change your appearance or make you look "like
you've had work done." It will not make you look twenty years younger.
Because it's highly localized and administered intramuscularly, its effects
are usually confined to the region of injection, and Botox does not remain
in your body indefinitely. |
| Are the treatments painful? |
| Discomfort
is minimal and brief. Your physician may choose to use a local anesthetic
cream or ice to minimize this. Once the injection is complete, there is
usually no discomfort. |
| Am I a candidate for Botox treatment? |
| Any
image-conscious man or woman who is concerned about the appearance of their
frown line can consider treatment. Botox can be used by people from age
18 to 65. Your doctor can help you decide if Botox is right for you. Thousands
of men and women have already discovered the benefits of Botox -- teachers,
mothers, and business people as well as celebrities and models. |
| How long does the treatment application last? |
| Botox
lasts up to four months. |
| Will my lines look worse if I choose not to continue treatments? |
| No.
Your frown lines gradually revert to their pre-treatment appearance |
| Are Botox treatments expensive? |
| When
compared to other available options for facial aesthetics, Botox is quite
affordable. Accourding to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery's
2000 survey, Botox is one of the least expensive facial aesthetic procedures,
ranking seventh of the nine most widely used procedures in the United States.
The cost must be weighed relative to your expectations. Check our fee schedule
