Botox® & Restylane

What is BOTOX®

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a simple, nonsurgical, physician-administered treatment that can temporarily smooth moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in people from 18 to 65 years of age.

One 10-minute treatment—a few tiny injections—and within days there's a noticeable improvement in moderate to severe frown lines between the brows, which can last up to 4 months. Results may vary.

Botox is a protein derived from botulism toxin that is injected underneath skin in order to minimize or smooth out lines and wrinkles on the face. When low doses of Botox are used, it actually paralyzes or relaxes facial muscles, giving the recipient a clean, smooth facial appearance.

Botox has gained in popularity over the years for several reasons. It's less invasive than a face lift and the results are immediate. When one receives a facelift, she can expect to have bandages on her face for several days along with bruising, swelling and stitches. It might be a couple of months before she's able to look in the mirror without seeing the effects of her plastic surgery. With Botox, the swelling goes down within a day or two, and while a prick from the needle is visible immediately after having the Botox administered, most of the evidence is gone within twenty four hours.

Botox is also much cheaper and quicker than a face lift. In fact, Botox is so easy and so affordable, many people hold Botox parties at which Botox is administered to several people in the course of a couple hours. Botox takes such little time to administer that a patient can receive a treatment on her lunch hour. Botox is also temporary, so if the recipient of a Botox treatment doesn't care for the way she looks, her face will resume its normal appearance within about three to six months.

Of course, there are risks. It's rare, but one can have an allergic reaction to Botox. Also, because it numbs the muscles, it can cause the appearance of surprise or make it look like the recipient has a permanent frown. Since Botox is temporary, these inconveniences don't last long.

Botox is clearly a more attractive option to plastic surgery
