- Botox and Collagen
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 theres no recovery time.
Here's what you might expect at the doctor's office from the moment
you arrive until your procedure is done. (Please note that although
this experience is typical, the routine at your doctor's office
may be different.)
The day of your appointment.
Allow time before your appointment for filling out forms and for
consulting with the doctor or a member of his or her staff. If it's
your initial visit, you may first meet with your doctor personally
or a staff member. Many doctors have on-staff licensed aestheticians
or nurses who are trained in skin care and skin care procedures
who can answer many of your questions. You may also be asked about
your expectations for treatment and if you have any allergies or
any condition that wouldn't make you a good candidate for BOTOX®
Cosmetic. (See the full prescribing information for more details.)
Before the procedure
You'll probably be seated in a reclining chair, much like you find
in a dentist's office. No anesthesia is required, although your
doctor may choose to numb the area with a cold pack or anesthetic
cream.
The procedure
Your doctor will determine where to administer the injections by
examining your ability to move certain muscles in your brow area.
The entire BOTOX® Cosmetic injection procedure takes approximately
10 minutes. For more information, read about the injection process.
After the procedure
There's no recovery time needed. You're ready to get on with your
day!
Seeing results
Within days, you may notice an improvement in the moderate to severe
frown lines between your brows that can last up to 4 months. Results
may vary.
