BOTOX® Cosmetic is a simple, non-surgical,
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 those persistent
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.
A million people have been treated with FDA-approved
BOTOX® Cosmetic. There's only one BOTOX® Cosmetic. Talk
to Dr. Tittle, M.D. to see if BOTOX® Cosmetic is right for you!
The proof for BOTOX® Cosmetic is in the numbers.
- In clinical trials, nearly 90% of men and women surveyed rated
the improvement in the appearance of frown lines between their
brows as moderate to better 1 month after treatment. Results
vary.
- Results can last for up to 4 months, and may vary.
- BOTOX® Cosmetic has been used to treat a million people
in the United States since it was approved by the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) in 2002 for the temporary treatment of
moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in people ages
18 to 65.
- The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery ranked
BOTOX® Cosmetic as the most popular of all physician-administered
cosmetic procedures (surgical and nonsurgical combined) in 2002
and 2003.
The day of your appointment.
Allow time before your appointment for filling
out forms and for consulting with Dr. Tittle or a member of his
staff. If it's your initial visit, you may first meet with your
doctor personally or a staff member.
You may also be asked about your expectations for
treatment and if you have any allergies or any condition that wouldn't
make you a good candidate for BOTOX® Cosmetic.
Before the procedure.
You'll be seated in a reclining chair, much like
you find in a dentist's office. No anesthesia is required, although
Dr. Tittle may choose to numb the area with a cold pack or anesthetic
cream.
The procedure.
Dr. Tittle will determine where to administer the
injections by examining your ability to move certain muscles in
your brow area. The entire BOTOX® Cosmetic injection procedure
takes approximately 10 minutes.
After the procedure.
There's no recovery time needed. You're ready to
get on with your day!
Seeing results.
Within days, you may notice an improvement in the
moderate to severe frown lines between your brows that can last
up to 4 months. Results may vary.
