Botox is an injectable treatment that temporarily reduces or eliminates facial lines and wrinkles. It works by relaxing the muscles under the skin. The treatment is derived from botulinum toxin type A, a bacterium-produced neuromuscular toxin that can be deadly in a pure state. BOTOX® Cosmetic contains a highly diluted form of the toxin, making it safe.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved BOTOX® botulinum toxin treatment for alleviating lines around the mouth, nasolabial folds, eye-muscle disorders, and smoothing frown lines, and smile lines. Botox injections are often combined with facial plastic surgery procedures such as a facelift or eyelid lift to maximize its cosmetic benefit.
Treatment RequirementsBecause BOTOX® procedures involve only a few small injections during a 10-minute session, a very large number of people seeking the treatment find they are excellent candidates. While BOTOX® Cosmetic is FDA-approved for patients aged 18 to 65, the best way to find out if it is right for you is to speak with a physician who offers the treatment.
Treatment CandidatesBOTOX Cosmetic has been proven safe and effective for a wide range of candidates. While there are many possible treatment areas/injection sites and medical uses for the protein that makes up BOTOX® Cosmetic, the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles is far and away the most common application.
Anyone who would like to smooth wrinkles through BOTOX® Cosmetic – whether they be crow’s feet around the eyes or wrinkles around the mouth – is potentially a candidate for this effective treatment. The best way to find out if receiving BOTOX® treatment is right for you is to speak with one of our board-certified dermatologists in Omaha, NE at Advanced Dermatology of the Midlands.
