BOTOX ® Cosmetic (03-2009)
You can’t open a magazine, or listen to a discussion on aging and beauty, without hearing about BOTOX® Cosmetic. It’s rare that a product that “reverses”signs of aging is so highly effective. Add to that the fact that Botox® Cosmetic is a nonsurgical procedure and you know what all the excitement is about. As it is with any treatment, in order to have all the information you should have, it’s best to speak directly to the doctor. This article will give you the basics and the doctor can fill in the rest, answering any questions you may have. In that way, you can make an educated decision before you decide if Botox® Cosmetic is right for you.
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a nonsurgical procedure that smooths deep lines between your brows. It’s a ten-minute treatment, with a few tiny injections. Discomfort is minimal and temporary. The treatment relaxes the muscles and keeps them relaxed up to four months, during which your lines will gradually revert to their pretreatment appearance. The product and procedure have been widely tested and are approved by the FDA.
Results are dramatic and apparent within days. In clinical trials, almost 90% of those surveyed said that they saw moderate to better improvement in their brow lines. Some said that it virtually “erased” these lines and, unlike some other procedures, there is no downtime or recovery period. You should understand that the procedure will not change your appearance radically, nor will it look like you've had work done. It will not make you look twenty years younger. The effects will be localized and confined to the region of injection. BOTOX® Cosmetic will not remain in your body indefinitely.
Because BOTOX® Cosmetic is an elective, cosmetic procedure, it will not be covered under most insurance plans. It is, however, one of the least expensive of all facial aesthetic procedures. It ranks seventh out of the nine in the most widely used procedures in the United States. In order for you to decide whether BOTOX® Cosmetic is right for you, call to make a consultation appointment with Dr. Hagerty. At your meeting, Dr. Hagerty will discuss the predicted results, possible side effects, and your level of expectation. In that way you can make an informed decision about whether, or not BOTOX® Cosmetic is right for you.
