Botox®

Botox® Cosmetic is a simple, nonsurgical, doctor-administered treatment that can temporarily smooth moderate to severe facial wrinkles. It is the only treatment of its type approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Botox® has been in clinical use by doctors for a number of years to treat muscle spasm around the eyes, in the neck and elsewhere. After years of such use, the F.D.A. approved it for use in cosmetic applications to temporarily smooth the frown lines between the eyes. The effects begin in 5-7 days and reach maximum benefits in about two weeks. The benefits of this procedure will last four to six months in most people. It is possible for doctors to use Botox® in areas other than the brow wrinkles, and this must be individualized to a patient's needs. No pre-testing is necessary for this procedure; treatment may begin on the first visit.
