What is BOTOX cosmetic?

BOTOX Cosmetic is 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. Is it the only treatment of its type approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

One 10-minute treatment-a few tiny injections-and within days there’s a noticeable improvement in moderate to severe frown lines between the brows, which can last up to 4 months. Results may vary

BOTOX Cosmetic is a purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum basterium, which reduces the activity of the muscles that cause those frown lines between the brows to form over time.

In 2005, almost 3.3 million procedures were performed with FDA- approved BOTOX Cosmetic.
