IBOTOX Cosmetic is a simple, nonsurgical, physician-administered aesthetic treatment that can temporarily smooth moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in people ages 18 to 65. BOTOX Cosmetic works by reducing the contractions of the muscles that cause those persistent frown lines that have developed over time. It is the only treatment of its type approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In 2005, almost 3.3 million procedures were performed with FDA-approved BOTOX Cosmetic.

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.

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.  And there's no recovery time -- you can even do it on your lunch break!

The procedure is very simple. Dr. Greenberg will administer several tiny injections of BOTOX Cosmetic directly into the muscles that cause those moderate to severe from lines between the brows. No anesthesia is required, although your aesthetician may choose to numb the area with a cold pack or anesthetic cream prior to injecting. Discomfort is usually minimal and brief.

You may see a marked improvement in the moderate to severe frown lines between your brows within days. Improvement may continue for as long as a month, and could last up to 4 months.
