Benefits of BOTOX Cosmetic
BOTOX Cosmetic treatment is the injection of Botulism-A toxin into the muscle under the skin. This may sound risky, but in fact the procedure is safe, gentle, and the result is quite remarkable. Once injected into subdermal muscle (muscle under the skin), BOTOX Cosmetic paralyzes the muscle, releasing the overlying skin. What does that mean for you? Wrinkles and other contour defects in the skin will be released from the underlying muscle and disappear. This paralysis is not permanent, and the muscles recover after about three to six months. A continued course of BOTOX Cosmetic injections will ensure that wrinkles stay safely relaxed, giving patients a younger look.
There was a 15-year retrospective study to prove the drug's safety — an aspect often cited as a patient concern. The study shows BOTOX is safe and well-tolerated for facial cosmetic procedures when used in multiple treatment sessions over an extended period of time, and when administered by a qualified and trained healthcare professional.
