What is BOTOX^®?

Botulinum toxin type A (trade name: BOTOX^®) is an injectable drug that causes temporary muscle weakness. It is FDA approved for the treatment of strabismus (crossed eyes), blepharospasm (twitching of the eyelids), cervical dystonia (a neurological movement disorder) glabellar frown lines (facial wrinkles), and most recently for primary focal hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating of the underarms, hands and/or feet). Botox may be used for the treatment of dynamic wrinkles of the face caused by contraction of the underlying facial muscles every time you smile, laugh or frown. Injection in certain areas of the face relaxes the muscles so they do not contract allowing the overlying skin to remain smooth and unwrinkled.

BOTOX^® injections have been used safely and effectively to treat ophthalmologic and neurologic disorders for over 20 years. The effects of the injections usually last four to six months.

BOTOX^® Side Effects

Side effects are rare and would include temporary weakness of the nearby muscles, drooping of an eyelid, or facial asymmetry. The risk and type of side effects depend upon the location of muscles injected. These side effects are rare, completely reversible, and usually, last a few weeks. Temporary and minor bruising may also be seen at the injection sites.

BOTOX^®’s advantage is a more youthful pleasant appearance without surgical intervention or significant downtime (time lost to the recovery period after treatment). Patients who have sweating of the underarms, hands, and feet find after BOTOX^® a large increase in social confidence (not sweating through shirts, shaking hands with dry hands, not smearing schoolwork/paperwork from sweat on their hands, ability to wear sandals again).

Patients may receive BOTOX^® injections and most can resume normal activities after injection.

How does BOTOX® Cosmetic work?

BOTOX^® Cosmetic targets one of the underlying causes of frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead lines — the repeated muscle contractions from frowning, squinting, smiling and raising the eyebrows over the years. Your specialist will inject these muscles with BOTOX^® Cosmetic to temporarily reduce muscle activity. You will begin to notice a visible smoothing of the frown lines between your brows, your crow’s feet lines and your forehead lines.
Will my face look unnatural after treatment?

BOTOX^® Cosmetic is a technique-sensitive treatment. You can trust BOTOX^® Cosmetic to deliver subtle results when you are treated by someone who is licensed, trained, and a medical expert in facial anatomy. So you’ll look like yourself—only with less noticeable lines. No one should be able to tell you’ve had anything done.
Is BOTOX® Cosmetic only for women?

Many men make BOTOX^® Cosmetic part of what they do to care for their appearance. The number of men choosing treatments like BOTOX^® Cosmetic has risen fast – in the past three years alone, men have received over one million botulinum toxin treatments. When surveyed, the majority of men say they want to look good and they’re bothered by the changes they see in the mirror.
How much time does a BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment take?

Your Aura Dermatology specialist will discuss your treatment goals and perform a facial analysis to determine the appropriate treatment areas for you. If the HCP deems you to be an appropriate candidate, the injection may take place on that same day. Some patients report that being injected with BOTOX^® Cosmetic feels like a pinch. Your specialist may use ice to numb the treatment area. Or, if you are concerned about discomfort, your specialist may apply a topical numbing cream before administering your treatment. Treatment requires minimal downtime. So you can return to your daily routine immediately after you leave your specialist’s office.
