BOTOX®
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium. It is a nonsurgical, physician-administered treatment that can temporarily reduce moderate to severe frown lines in the forehead, wrinkle lines around the eyes, and furrow lines around the mouth and the chin area. 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 within minutes, and no recovery time is needed. Within days, you may see an improvement that can last up to 4 months. Moderate to severe frown and wrinkle lines form over time as the result of muscle activity. BOTOX® Cosmetic is injected directly into the muscles groups producing these lines. 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.

This 39 year old woman. She is a mother. As she nears 40, she noticed more and more dark circles under her eyes. She noticed that her cheeks had begun to lose volume, causing a diagonal fold extending from the tear trough area under her eyes to her cheek.
