Why Use Botox?
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a physician administered treatment that is both simple and nonsurgical. When injected, Botox can temporarily smooth facial lines from the moderate to the most severe. Botox is typically used 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).
If you look at both men and women who have had BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments, the results are unmistakable! One 10-minute treatment, made up of a few tiny injections - and within hours there is a noticeable improvement in moderate to severe frown lines between the brows. These improvements typcially last up to 4 months, however, results may vary.
In Scientific terms, BOTOX® Cosmetic is actually a protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium. In a purified form, this protein reduces the activity of the muscles that cause wrinkles and frown lines over time. Wrinkles develop over time due to a number of factors: collagen breakdown, hormonal losses, cellular changes, damage by free radicals and muscle movement among other factors. Ultimately even those who follow strict skin regimens and avoid sun exposure cannot completely avoid expression.
Our facial muscles contract every time we show expression. When we raise our eye brows in a surprised expression, or bring them together. When we are angry or confused, we use facial muscles. As these muscles contract, the overlying skin creases and over time these lines become more visible to others in the form of wrinkles.
BOTOX® Cosmetic is FDA Approved, and is used on millions of men and women each year. As with any procedure, always request a consultation to ensure that BOTOX® is right for you!

BOTOX® Cosmetic For Men
There is a misconception that BOTOX® is only for women. Women may talk about their looks more often, but men are also concerned about their facial appearance. Men may spent more time weight training, but a man with pronounced lines between his brows is often perceived as stressed or angry. It's not surprising then, that men are also choosing BOTOX® Cosmetic as a non-surgical, physician-administered treatment for facial rejuvenation.
A BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment requires little time out of the office. So, it’s possible to have the procedure done during a lunch hour and head right back to the office.
Restylane™/Perlane™/Juvederm™
Dermal fillers are another option for treating wrinkles by providing volume under the skin. These are not BOTOX® Cosmetic Injections, but it may be a good idea to ask your doctor about these as an alternative treatment. |
