BOTOX® Treatment What is Botox®? BOTOX® Cosmetic is a purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium, type A. It is a nonsurgical, physician-administered treatment that can temporarily reduce moderate to severe frown lines between the brows. During treatment, very low doses of BOTOX ® Cosmetic are administered via a few tiny injections directly into the muscles that cause those stubborn lines. When BOTOX®

is
injected
into
the
muscles
surrounding the brow area for instance; those muscles cannot “scrunch up” for a period of time. They are paralyzed. Any wrinkles in that area, often referred to as furrows or frown lines, temporarily go away. The treatment is usually done in about 10 minutes and no recovery time is needed. There are 3 different brands of botulinum toxins. Botox®, Xeomin®, and Dysport®. They all work in the same way and the results are equal.
