Why Try BOTOX® Cosmetic

WHY GET TREATED

It's all about freedom of expression...

You've probably heard a lot about BOTOX® Cosmetic. It's been in the news, in fashion, health, beauty magazines, and on TV. Your friends may even be talking about how it works.

BOTOX® could be what you've been looking for—a procedure that can temporarily smooth those moderate to severe frown lines between your brows and around your eyes with no surgery and no recovery time? An improvement can be seen within days, lasting for up to 4 months. Results may vary.

Why would you get treated with BOTOX® Cosmetic?

• You think those stubborn frown lines between your brows make you look tired or upset.
• It seems like something that you could do to help maintain your appearance.

Almost 3.3 million procedures were performed in 2005 alone—a 16% increase over 2004. Not just models and movie stars, but people from all types of professions have tried it.

In fact, the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) ranked BOTOX® Cosmetic as the most popular physician-administered aesthetic procedure in the United States for the fourth year in a row (surgical and nonsurgical combined).

What's more, the ASAPS surveys ranked BOTOX® Cosmetic as one of the low-entry-cost facial aesthetic procedures in the United States.

WHY SKIN AGES

One day you looked in the mirror and studied those lines that furrowed your brow, and you wondered: Where did they come from?

Is it just aging? Too much sun? Too much stress? In general, how skin ages and wrinkles is a complex process. It isn't just about cellular changes, collagen depletion, hormone loss, damage caused by free radicals, and so on; it's a combination of many factors.

The Anatomy of the Wrinkle The lines that appear between your brows (glabellar lines) actually result from muscle movement and the passage

of time. You may have heard the expression "wearing your emotions on your sleeve," but in reality you wear them on your face. If you're angry or annoyed, for example, you knit your brows together. Underneath your skin, your facial muscles contract, cause a pleating of the overlying skin, and then, as anyone can see, you're frowning.

After years of crinkling and wrinkling, those glabellar lines start to linger longer and can become more pronounced. For women, whose faces tend to be more animated than men's, and whose skin is typically more delicate, these lines may appear exaggerated and more permanent.

Fortunately, there is a way to temporarily reduce moderate to severe glabellar lines. Treatment with BOTOX® Cosmetic can visibly smooth and soften moderate to severe frown lines between your brows. An improvement can be seen within days and may last up to 4 months, although results may vary. In clinical trials, nearly 90% of men and women surveyed rated the improvement in the appearance of frown lines between their brows as moderate to better 1 month after treatment.
