BOTOX®

A million people have been treated with FDA-approved BOTOX® Cosmetic — not just models and movie stars, but people from all types of professions. It is the only treatment of its type approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). To get the best results, it's important to go to a doctor who is experienced in administering BOTOX® Cosmetic. Dr. Paull is a member of The BOTOX® Cosmetic Physicians’ Network.

What is BOTOX®? BOTOX® Cosmetic is a purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium. It is a simple, non-surgical, physician-administered treatment that can temporarily smooth moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in people from 18 to 65 years of age. It works by temporarily reducing the contractions of the muscles that cause those persistent frown lines that have developed between your brows over time. During treatment, very low doses of BOTOX® Cosmetic are administered via a few tiny injections directly into the muscles that cause those stubborn lines. The treatment is usually done in about 10 minutes, and no recovery time is needed. Within days, you may see an improvement that can last up to 4 months. Results may vary. After treatment with BOTOX® Cosmetic, you may look in the mirror and see a marked improvement in the moderate to severe frown lines between your brows. Although the results are visible, a treatment with BOTOX® Cosmetic will not radically change your facial appearance or make you look as if you "had work done." The muscle activity that causes frown lines between the brows is simply reduced, so you can still frown or look surprised without the wrinkles and creases between your brows. The Process Those moderate to severe frown lines between your brows form over time as the result of muscle activity. BOTOX® Cosmetic is injected directly into the muscles between your brows. It works by blocking the transmission of nerve impulses to the injected muscles; this reduces the activity of the muscles that cause those persistent lines to form. The beauty of a BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment is that it's a simple, 10-minute, non-surgical process. A few tiny injections, and within days there can be a noticeable improvement in the moderate to severe frown lines between the brows that can last up to 4 months. Results may vary. And, there’s no recovery time. You can even do it on your lunch break. • Dr. Paull will administer several tiny injections of BOTOX® Cosmetic directly into the muscles that cause those moderate to severe frown lines between the brows. • Dr. Paull will determine where to administer the injections by examining your ability to move certain muscles in your brow area. The location, size, and use of the muscles that create a furrowed brow vary markedly among individuals. • No anesthesia is required, although the doctor may choose to numb the area with a cold pack or anesthetic cream prior to injecting. Discomfort is usually minimal and brief. Most patients compare the sensation to a pin prick. • You may resume normal activity immediately. You may see a marked improvement in the moderate to severe frown lines between your brows within days. Improvement may continue for as long as a month, and could last up to 4 months. • You can receive injections with BOTOX® Cosmetic up to every 4 months to help you maintain the results. If you do not continue treatments, the frown lines between your brows will gradually look like they did before treatment. Copy and graphics used by permission of Botox® Cosmetic.
