You with Fewer Wrinkles
BOTOX COSMETIC
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles and used to temporarily improve the look of moderate to severe forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines between the eyebrows in adults.
Botox is used to relax the muscles in the upper region (Glabella, Forehead, Crow’s Feet) of the face which prevent excessive contractions which cause the lines.
Whether you’re in your 20s or your 60s, Botox is the “go to” treatment to that lets you “look like you” but with fewer lines for that “I Got This” look. Pro-youth skin care should start before signs of damage are evident, which is why starting in your 20s is a great option to improve your appearance by softening visible lines and wrinkles as well as prevent the development of more.

How BOTOX® Cosmetic Works to Smooth Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Many factors such as reduction of collagen, or damage caused by free radicals from the sun and the environment cause wrinkles, but it’s repeated muscle contractions from frowning, squinting, or raising eyebrows cause skin to furrow and fold, that gradually cause facial lines and wrinkles.
BOTOX® Cosmetic works beneath that the surface and temporarily reduces the underlying muscle activity that causes moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead lines in adults – to help them look visibly smoother. That’s why this it’s a perfect wrinkles smoothing option for anyone regardless if your in your 20s or any age above.

Buyer Beware
There is NO substitute for BOTOX Cosmetic. Did you know the FDA has stated that BOTOX® Cosmetic is “non-interchangeable”? If you see an advertisement for Botox but then a practice uses another neurotoxin, that is against the law. That’s because Botox’s safety and effectiveness cannot be claimed by another product. The potency – or strength – of BOTOX® Cosmetic is measured in scientifically defined units that cannot be compared to any other product, due to its unique manufacturing process. There are no substitutes for it. People who are prescribed a biologic product have a right to know exactly what they are receiving; be sure to ask for BOTOX® Cosmetic by name.

How does Botox® Cosmetic work?
BOTOX® Cosmetic targets one of the underlying causes of frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead lines — the repeated muscle contractions from frowning, squinting, smiling and raising the eyebrows over the years. Your specialist will inject these muscles with BOTOX® Cosmetic to temporarily reduce muscle activity. You will begin to notice a visible smoothing of the frown lines between your brows, your crow’s feet lines and your forehead lines.
How can I save on Botox® Cosmetic?
Be wary of discount products or “cheap” BOTOX® Cosmetic – if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Your cost not only includes the price of the product, but more importantly, the skill and expertise of the specialist or healthcare professional who is administering your treatment.

Do I need to be over 40 to start using Botox® Cosmetic?
It’s not your age that determines when BOTOX® Cosmetic is right for you, it’s the severity of your lines. In fact, 64% of plastic surgeons report seeing a rise in cosmetic surgery or injectable treatments for patients in their early 30’s.
The truth is, everyone’s lines form differently. The timing can be influenced by a combination of factors, from cellular changes that may occur over time, to reduction of collagen, to genetic factors, or damage caused by free radicals from the sun and the environment.
Whenever your lines start to bother you, go speak with your doctor. They can help you determine if treatment is right for you.
How many injections will I receive?
Treatment with BOTOX® Cosmetic is customized to your goals and needs. When you meet with your specialist, he or she will determine the appropriate treatment for any areas you wish to address, including moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead lines. Remember, only BOTOX® Cosmetic is approved to treat all three of these areas.
For the crow’s feet area, your specialist will inject 3 areas of the muscle that frames the side of the eye. This will be repeated on the muscle that frames the other eye.
For the frown lines area, your specialist will administer 5 injections into the muscles between your brows and in your forehead.
For the forehead lines area, your specialist will administer 5 injections into a muscle in your forehead.
Is there a “generic” Botox® Cosmetic?
There is no such thing as a “generic” form of BOTOX® Cosmetic. Be wary of discount products or “cheap” BOTOX® Cosmetic. Medical formulations, potency, and approved doses vary among products, so no one product can take the place of another. FDA labeling states that BOTOX® Cosmetic is not interchangeable with any other product. If it doesn’t say BOTOX® Cosmetic on the vial, then it isn’t BOTOX® Cosmetic.
BOTOX® Cosmetic has a one-of-a-kind formulation. And BOTOX® Cosmetic is the most widely researched and studied treatment of its kind. Backed by more than 16 years of published studies, the safety and efficacy of BOTOX® Cosmetic have been described in 528 peer-reviewed articles in scientific and medical journals.
