BOTOX®

BOTOX Cosmetic is a non-surgical, physician-administered aesthetic treatment that can temporarily reduce the moderate to severe frown lines between your brows and crows feet for up to 4 months. Within days, you may see a noticeable improvement. Results may vary. You can receive injections with BOTOX Cosmetic up to every 4 months to help you maintain the results.

The beauty of a BOTOX Cosmetic treatment is that it's a simple, 10-minute, non-surgical process. A few tiny injections, and within days there can be a noticeable improvement in the moderate to severe frown lines and crows feet. And there’s no recovery time. You can even do it on your lunch break.

What is BOTOX

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.

In 2005, almost 3.3 million procedures were performed with FDA-approved BOTOX Cosmetic. According to Allergan, the Botox manufacturer, Dr Normington is the leading injector of Botox in Central Pennsylvania.

The Treatment

• Dr. Normington will administer several tiny injections of BOTOX Cosmetic directly into the muscles that cause those wrinkles and frown lines.
• Dr. Normington will determine where to administer the injections by examining your ability to move certain muscles in your brow area. The location, size, and use of the muscles that create a furrowed brow vary markedly among individuals.
• No anesthesia is required, although Dr. Normington may choose to numb the area with a freezing machine or anesthetic cream prior to injecting. Discomfort is usually minimal and brief.
• You can expect to be in and out of the office without downtime. 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.

If you're pleased with the results of a BOTOX Cosmetic treatment, you'll probably want to get on a treatment schedule so you can keep on being pleased. If you discontinue treatment, the frown lines between your brows gradually will look like they did before treatment.
