About BOTOX® Cosmetic 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.

Frequently Asked Questions  How does Botox Cosmetic                Work?  BOTOX® Cosmetic is injected                directly into the muscles between               your brows. It works by blocking the        transmission of nerve impulses to the         injected muscles; this reduces the              activity of the muscles that cause               those persistent lines to form  When will I see results?                    Within days, you may see a marked          improvement in the moderate to                severe frown lines between your                brows. Lines continue to improve for         up to a month, and results can last             for up to 4 months.  How long does BOTOX®                  Cosmetic last?  Results from treatment with                       BOTOX®  Cosmetic can last for up         to 4 months. If you discontinue                  treatment, the frown lines between             your brows gradually will look like            they did before treatment. Who should not use BOTOX®         Cosmetic? BOTOX® Cosmetic should not be           used in the presence of infection at the       proposed injection site(s) and in                individuals with known hypersensitivity      to any ingredient in the formulation.            Patients with neuromuscular disorders       such as ALS, myasthenia gravis or            Lambert-Eaton syndrome may be at          increased risk of serious side effects.
