Botox®

Overview BOTOX® Details BOTOX® FAQs

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a simple, nonsurgical, physician-administered treatment that can temporarily smooth moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in people from 18 to 65 years of age. It is the only treatment of its type approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

One 10-minute treatment – a few tiny injections – and within days there's a noticeable improvement in moderate to severe frown lines between the brows, which can last up to 4 months. Results may vary.

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium, which reduces the activity of the muscles that cause those frown lines between the brows to form over time.

BOTOX® (Botulinum Toxin Type A) has been used therapeutically for more than 18 years.

First approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in 1989.

Currently approved in more than 75 countries.

Most-studied botulinum toxin and one of the most widely researched medicines in the world.

Same formulation with dosing specific to moderate to severe frown lines between the brows approved in 2002 as BOTOX® Cosmetic.

BOTOX® Cosmetic (Botulinum Toxin Type A) Fact Sheet

More than 13 million aesthetic procedures with BOTOX® Cosmetic (botulinum toxin type A) have been administered since the product was first approved in 2002 in the United States for temporary treatment of moderate to severe glabellar lines (the vertical “frown lines” between the eyebrows) in adults 18 to 65.

According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), more than three million BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments were administered in 2006 alone.

Ninety-seven percent of patients were definitely satisfied with BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments, according to a survey of approximately 1,000 patients conducted by the research arm of ASAPS.

BOTOX® Cosmetic, approved for the temporary treatment of glabellar lines, is the same medicine that is used to treat patients with neurological conditions under the name BOTOX®. It is, however, administered in much smaller doses for aesthetic use. The approved doses of BOTOX® for medical uses are significantly greater than the approved dose for an aesthetic procedure.

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a simple, minimally invasive injectable treatment that creates a temporary smoothed and improved appearance of the wrinkle-causing muscles between the brows that lasts up to four months. Most side effects are temporary and typically associated with the injection itself, such as localized pain, tenderness, redness and/or bruising. (See full safety information provided below).

Since its first approval more than 18 years ago, reports of serious adverse events in patients receiving BOTOX® have been rare.

BOTOX® Cosmetic should only be administered by a licensed health care professional (HCP) who is well trained in the anatomy of the face.
