What is Botox

What are Botox Cosmetic and Dysport?
BOTOX® Cosmetic and Dysport are 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. These are the only treatments of this type approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

It has been proven that facial lines around the eyes, brow, and forehead are the result of aging skin, and muscle contractions which force the skin into wrinkles. BOTOX cosmetic and Dysport dont just fill in the wrinkle; they treat the muscle that causes the wrinkle.

This treatment is ideal for younger patients, both male and female, whose skin is just starting to age, as well as older patients who notice creases and want to prevent potential creases before they start.

BOTOX and Dysport have also been approved for the treatment of severe underarm sweating for up to one year.

BOTOX cosmetic and Dysport can improve the appearance of the frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar creases), the wrinkles at the outside edges of the eyes (crow's feet), and horizontal forehead creases (worry lines). Frown lines, which are deep creases between the eyebrows, can give people a worried or angry look Many people frown when they concentrate, in which case their frown lines signal the wrong emotion. Crow's feet at the sides of the eyes cause a "squinting" look. Horizontal forehead creases give people an aged look.
