What is Botox ® cosmetic?
BOTOX ® Cosmetic (Onabotulinum Toxin Type A) is a
purified protein that is administered in a simple,
nonsurgical procedure to temporarily reduce the
11's – those moderate to severe frown lines
between the brows – in people ages 18 – 65.
What causes frown lines?
The 11's – those vertical lines that appear between
your brows – actually result from powerful muscle
contractions. When you concentrate or frown, the
muscles between your brows contract, causing your
skin to furrow and fold. After years of frequent
contraction, those creases can linger even after the
muscles have relaxed.
How does BOTOX® Cosmetic Work?
Very low does of BOTOX® Cosmetic are administered via a few tiny injections directly into the muscles responsible for the frown lines between the brows.
By blocking the release of the chemical that causes these muscles to contract, BOTOX® Cosmetic enables them to relax, so the skin appears smoother.
What is Juvederm™ filler?
As you age, your skin changes. For example, it reduces production of a naturally hydrating substance called hyaluronic acid(HA). Over time, the loss of HA in your skin results in facial wrinkles and folds, like those "parentheses" lines around your mouth.
Juvederm™ injectable gel replaces the HA your skin has lost, bringing back its volume and smoothing away facial wrinkles and folds. A breakthrough in HA dermal fillers, Juvederm™ is the first smooth–consistency HA gel and the only HA filler that's FDA approved to last up to a year.
You can experience the benefits of Juvederm™ injectable gel in a quick, in–office procedure. Your healthcare professional eases Juvederm™ under your skin to instantly smooth our the wrinkles and folds on your face. You'll see the difference immediately!
