BOTOX® Cosmetic
is a simple, nonsurgical, 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.
