Have you ever looked in the mirror and wished you could have that smile you used to have, the one without the frown lines and facial wrinkles? Now, you can have that smile back with a simple procedure known as Cosmetic BOTOX®.
Cosmetic BOTOX® Botox Cosmetic is a treatment approved by the FDA for the temporary reduction of frown lines between the brows, crows' feet, and horizontal wrinkles in the forehead of patients between the ages of 18 and 65. Botox® is a modified derivative of a bacterium that is injected into specified muscles and it would act on those muscles temporarily removing the wrinkles from your face.
BOTOX® Safety While BOTOX® is derived from the Clostridium botulinum bacterium, which if ingested could be fatal, BOTOX® itself is harmless. The BOTOX® treatment uses a modified derivative of the protein and is injected in very small amounts during the treatment. The relative harmlessness of the procedure is one of the reasons why it is the only FDA approved treatment for the removal of frown lines.
Does BOTOX® Last Forever? The results of Botox treatments usually last for four months. You will need to have treatments every four months to prevent your skin from returning to its pre-Botox® appearance. Don't worry, the procedure is relatively painless, and if you keep up your regularly scheduled appointments, you will never lose that youthful smile.
