The cosmetic form of botulinum toxin, often referred to by its product name Botox®, is a popular non-surgical injection that temporarily reduces or eliminates frown lines, forehead creases, crows feet near the eyes and thick bands in the neck. The toxin blocks the nerve impulses, temporarily paralyzing the muscles that cause wrinkles while giving the skin a smoother, more refreshed appearance. Studies have also suggested that Botox is effective in relieving migraine headaches, excessive sweating and muscle spasms in the neck and eyes. It is the only treatment of its type approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Take a look at men and women who’ve had BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments, and see for yourself! One 10-minute treatment-a few tiny injections-and within days there’s a noticeable improvement. In 2006, almost 3.3 million procedures were performed with FDA-approved BOTOX® Cosmetic.
