Just what is Botox Cosmetic?

It is a purified protein administered in a simple nonsurgical procedure that temporarily improves the appearance of moderate to severe from lines between the

brows.

What causes frown lines between the brows?

The lines that appear between your brows actually result from muscle movement and the passage of time. Two muscles are largely responsible for frown lines between the brows. When those muscles contract, they draw the brows together. As skin becomes less elastic over time, repeated frowning can result in those moderate to severe lines between the brows.

How can I be sure I'm getting real Botox Cosmetic?

Only licensed and trained healthcare professionals have the experience necessary to administer Botox Cosmetic. Allergan, Inc. the maker of Botox Cosmetic is the only source for healthcare professionals to purchase the product, and each label has the "Allergan" hologram.

What kind of results can I expect?

What is the treatment like?
