BOTOXŽ COSMETIC TREATMENTS

BOTOXŽ COSMETIC treatment is one of the most dramatic advances of the 1990’s in the ongoing war against wrinkles. According to Dr. Lewis Stolman of the Dermatology and Laser Center of Northern New Jersey there are five major causes of wrinkles and furrows on one’s face: sun damage, loss of elasticity of the skin, smoking, sleep position, and the muscles of facial expression. Facial expression lines are those deep furrows across the brow, the vertical wrinkles above the bridge of the nose and crow’s feet. The repetitive squeezing of the skin every time one laughs smiles or frowns causes these expression wrinkles by the strong facial muscles of expression. BotoxŽ Cosmetic, more than any other treatment, can improve or diminish such lines by relaxing the facial muscles. The commonest BOTOXŽ Cosmetic questions and the answers are as follows:

WHAT IS BOTOXŽ COSMETIC?

BOTOXŽ Cosmetic is an extract of botulinum toxin. When placed in muscles it causes their temporary weakness.

WHICH WRINKLES SHOULD BE TREATED WITH BOTOXŽ COSMETIC?

BOTOXŽ Cosmetic is particularly effective for the relief of forehead frown lines, lines and grooves over the bridge of the nose and crow’s feet next to the outer corners of the eyes which become apparent when you smile or grimace. These wrinkles are called dynamic wrinkles and are due to the effects of underlying facial muscles. Not only do these muscles cause the face to appear wrinkled, but also they can cause tension headaches.

IS IT SAFE?

BOTOXŽ Cosmetic has been used for close to ten years to treat double vision in children due to muscle imbalance. There have been no serious untoward effects.

HOW LONG WILL IT LAST?

The effect lasts for 3 to 4 months.

IS BOTOXŽ COSMETIC A SUBSTITUTE FOR COLLAGEN INJECTIONS, LASER TREATMENTS,
RETIN-A, AND PLASTIC SURGERY?

No. All of the above treatments still have a place in the treatment of wrinkles. BotoxŽ Cosmetic is suitable and remarkably effective for the treatment of expression induced wrinkles. Collagen, laser resurfacing, Retin A, and plastic surgery may be appropriate for the treatment of wrinkles caused by the sun, cigarette smoking, sleep position, and loss of skin elasticity.
