A simple, non-surgical procedure that can smooth anger and frown lines as well as other wrinkles on your face.
BOTOX® Cosmetic is approved for the temporary treatment of moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in people ages 18-65.
One day you looked in the mirror and studied those lines that furrowed your brow, and you wondered: Where did they come from?
In general, how skin ages and wrinkles is a complex process. It isn't just about cellular changes, collagen depletion, hormone loss, damage caused by free radicals, and so on; it's a combination of many factors.
The lines that appear between your brows (glabellar lines) actually result from muscle movement and the passage of time. When people are angry or annoyed they tend to knit their brows together. When that happens, facial muscles under the skin contract, cause a pleating of the overlying skin, and then, as anyone can see, you're frowning. After years of crinkling and wrinkling, those glabellar lines start to linger longer and can become more pronounced. For women, whose faces tend to be more animated than men's and whose skin is typically more delicate, these lines may appear exaggerated and more permanent.
Fortunately, at the Methodist Skin Renewal Suite, there is a way to temporarily reduce moderate to severe glabellar lines. Treatment with BOTOX® Cosmetic can visibly smooth and soften moderate to severe frown lines between your brows. An improvement can be seen within days and may last up to four months, although results may vary. In clinical trials, nearly 90 percent of men and women surveyed rated the improvement in the appearance of frown lines between their brows as moderate or better one month after treatment.
What to Expect
The beauty of a BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment is that it's a simple, 10-minute, non-surgical process. A few tiny injections, and within days there can be a noticeable improvement in the moderate to severe frown lines between the brows that can last up to four months. Results may vary. And there's no recovery time. You can even do it on your lunch break.
- Your certified medical professional will administer several tiny injections of BOTOX® Cosmetic directly into the muscles that cause those moderate to severe frown lines between the brows.
- Your certified medical professional will determine where to administer the injections by examining your ability to move certain muscles in your brow area. The location, size, and use of the muscles that create a furrowed brow vary markedly among individuals.
- No anesthesia is required, although your certified medical professional may choose to numb the area with a cold pack or anesthetic cream prior to injecting. Discomfort is usually minimal and brief.
- You can expect to be in and out of the physician's office without downtime. You may see a marked improvement in the moderate to severe frown lines between your brows within days. Improvement may continue for as long as a month, and could last up to four months.
