Now
get the whole story it seems like everybody
is talking about Botox, the highly effective,
non-surgical procedure that can dramatically
reduce your toughest wrinkle within 7
days and lasts up to four months. It's
been reported in the news, in fashion,
health and beauty magazines, and on TV.
Or
perhaps you've heard about it from your
friends, and you want to know more. You
want the whole story before you decide
if Botox is right for you.
What
BOTOX is?
A
Botox treatment is a simple, non-surgical
procedure that smoothes the deep, persistent
lines between your brows that developed
over time. One ten-minute treatment-a
few tiny injection relaxes the muscles
that cause those lines to forth'"
and keeps them relaxed up to four months.
Botox has been widely tested. Now it's
approved by the FDA.
The
results are dramatic and apparent within
days. In clinical trials, nearly 90% of
the men and women surveyed rated the improvement
in their brow lines as moderate to better.
For many, Botox virtually "erases"
these lines. Unlike surgery, Botox is
fast, simple, and minimally invasive,
with no downtime or recovery. Most people
return directly to work or normal activity
following treatment within days, they
report looking more natural and relaxed.
With Botox, they'll know you've done something,
they just won't know what. |

What
BOTOX isn't.
Botox
is not magic.
It's
medicine, the result of years of careful
research and testing, Allergen's Botox
product is the only one of its type with
over 10 years of success in treating patients
with a variety of conditions.
Botox
will not radically change your appearance
or make you look "like you've had
work done." It will not make you
look twenty years younger. Because it's
highly localized and administered intramuscularly,
its effects are usually confined to the
region of injection, and Botox does not
remain in your body indefinitely. |

Is
BOTOX right for you?
If
you are between the ages 18 to 60 and doing
all you can to look your best is important
to you, Botox may be for you.
If reducing those tough lines between
your brows would make you feel more approachable,
Botox may be for you.
Thousands
of appearance-conscious women and men
have already discovered the benefits of
Botox. Not just models and movie stars,
but ordinary people - teachers, mothers,
and business people from all walks of
life. .
Who should administer BOTOX?
Any
authorized health care professional can
administer Botox, but plastic surgeons
& other cosmetic physicians are generally
more experienced. One of these physicians
can help you decide if Botox is right
for you. |

What
to expect from BOTOX?
Your
doctor will determine exactly where
to administer several tiny injections
to achieve the best results. No
anesthesia is required, although
he or she may choose to numb the
area with a cold pack or anesthetic
cream prior to injecting. The entire
procedure takes approximately ten
minutes. Discomfort is minimal and
brief - most patients compare the
sensation to a bug bite, it is unlikely
you will develop significant side
effects, although some people develop
slight temporary bruising at the
injection site, which can easily
be covered by makeup. You may resume
normal activity immediately. |
|
Within
days, you'll see a marked improvement
which may continue to improve for as long
as a week and should last up to four months.
Botox
relaxes the overactive muscles whose repeated
contractions cause the lines between your
brows to form. So you can frown, smile,
or look surprised. |
The
most common side effects are headache, respiratory
infection, flu syndrome, temporary eyelid
droop, and nausea. Botox should not be used
if there is an infection at the injection
site. |
