How Botox® Cosmetic Works
During the quick 10-minute procedure, a medical protein called Botulinum A Toxin is injected into the targeted area. After a short time, the BOTOX® temporarily relaxes the facial muscles that cause the wrinkling, thereby creating a softer, more relaxed appearance. Thousands of people report noticeable results and are pleased with the dramatic difference. Although the procedure is temporary, it is safe and very effective.
Moderate to Severe Frown Lines
When you frown or concentrate, the muscles between your brows contract, causing your skin to furrow and fold. Your specialist will inject these muscles to help make frown lines temporarily look better.
Moderate to Severe Crow's Feet
When you squint or smile, the muscles around your eyes contract, causing crow’s feet. Your specialist will inject these muscles to help make crow’s feet temporarily look better.
Moderate to Severe Forehead Lines
When you raise your eyebrows, the muscles on your forehead contract, causing the skin to furrow and fold. Your specialist will inject these muscles to help make forehead lines temporarily look better.

How Does Botox Cosmetic Work?

Your specialist will inject these muscles with BOTOX® Cosmetic to temporarily reduce muscle activity. You will begin to notice your frown lines between your brows, your crow’s feet lines, and your forehead lines temporarily look better.

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a technique-sensitive treatment. You can trust BOTOX® Cosmetic to deliver subtle results when you are treated by someone who is licensed, trained and a medical expert in facial anatomy.

Do I Need to be Over 40 to Start Botox Treatment?

How Much Time Does Botox Cosmetic Treatment Take? Will it Hurt?
Your specialist will discuss your treatment goals and perform a facial analysis to determine the appropriate treatment areas for you. If the HCP deems you to be an appropriate candidate, the injection may take place on that same day. Some patients report that being injected with BOTOX® Cosmetic feels like a pinch. Your specialist may use ice to numb the treatment area. Or, if you are concerned about discomfort, your specialist may apply a topical numbing cream before administering your treatment.
Treatment requires minimal downtime. So you can return to your daily routine immediately after you leave your specialist’s office.

Xeomin® FAQs
Is Xeomin® proven?
Xeomin® was proven effective in two randomized, double – blind, multicenter, placebo – controlled clinical trials of 547 healthy adult patients. The average age of patients in the study was 46 years. Patients received 20 Units of Xeomin® and were classifi ed as responders if they had a 2 – grade improvement on a 4 – point scale as assessed by the physician and patient. Using these criteria, treatment success was higher with Xeomin® than with placebo on Day 30 in both studies (60% and 48% vs. 0% for placebo in b oth studies). Based on these trials, Xeomin® received FDA approval for use in glabellar lines in 2011.
How do I know if Xeomin® is right for me?

You should also not use Xeomin® if you have had an allergic reaction to any other botulinum toxin produc t or have a skin infection at the planned injection site.

Especially tell your doctor if you have received any other botulinum toxin product in the last four months or in the past. Be sure your doctor knows exactly which product(s) you received and when you received them.
What can I expect during treatment?
During treatment, which usually takes about 10 – 20 minutes, your doctor will inject Xeomin® into the muscles in your forehead that cause frown lines between your eyebrows. No an esthesia is required; however, your physician may use a topical anesthetic or cold pack to reduce any discomfort.
