Botox®
Botox Cosmetic is a purified protein administered in a simple nonsurgical procedure to temporarily improve wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes. A few drops of Botox are injected into the muscle which creates a wrinkle. When Botox is injected into the muscle, it blocks the nerve impulse to that muscle, and the muscle weakens. Over time, the wrinkles in the skin that are over those muscles will relax and often disappear.
Botox has been used therapeutically for over 15 years to treat a variety of medical conditions. Botox for therapeutic use remains one of the most widely researched medicines in the world. For the past 3 years, Botox Cosmetic was the most popular physician-administered cosmetic procedure in the United States.
Botox results usually last three to six months. After several treatments, the results may last longer, in some cases up to one year.
