Proven. Simple. Effective.

Ten minutes-a few tiny injections-and within days there's a noticeable improvement. There's no recovery or downtime. You can even receive Botox Cosmetic treatment on your lunch break. And results last up to four months.

What causes frown lines between the brows? How does Botox Cosmetic work?
The lines that appear between your brows actually result from muscle movement and the passage of time. Two muscles are largely responsible for frown lines between the brows. When those muscles contract, they draw the brows together. As skin becomes less elastic over time, repeated frowning can result in those moderate to severe lines between your brows. Botox Cosmetic works by blocking nerve impulses, which reduces the movement of those muscles. With less movement, the skin surface gradually smoothes out, and the moderate to severe frown lines between your brows begin to fade.

Just what is Botox Cosmetic? Is it FDA approved?
Botox Cosmetic is a purified protein. It is a nonsurgical, physician-administered treatment that can temporarily reduce moderate to severe frown lines between the brows, of the forehead and at the crow's feet areas. During treatment, very low doses of Botox Cosmetic are administered via a few tiny injections directly into the muscles that cause those stubborn lines between the brows. Botox Cosmetic is the only treatment of its type approved by the FDA for this use. The treatment is minimally invasive and nonsurgical. It requires no recovery time and causes little discomfort.

What it the treatment like? Where can I have it done?
Botox Cosmetic is a quick and minimally invasive treatment. Dr. Sanders makes a few tiny injections into the muscles that cause moderate to severe frown lines between your brows. He will determine exactly where to administer the injections to achieve the best results. A topical cream is provided if needed for anesthesia. The entire procedure takes approximately ten minutes. Discomfort is minimal and brief--most patients compare the sensation to a bug bite. You may resume normal activities immediately.

How soon will I see a difference? What kind of results can I expect?
You can expect to see results within days after your treatment. The apperance of the area between your brows may continue to improve for up to a week. Visible results can last for up to four months. After that, you may be ready to return for a follow-up treatment. Be sure to look at the photo gallery and see some of Dr. Sanders results with Botox Cosmetic.

How soon will I need a second treatment? What happens if I decide not to continue?
The effect of each treatment can last up to four months--be sure to schedule your follow-up treatments in advance. If you decide not to continue with Botox Cosmetic, the area between your brows will eventually go back to its pretreatment apperance.
