BOTOX® Cosmetic
BOTOX® is a drug made from a toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. It's the same toxin that causes a life-threatening type of food poisoning called botulism. Doctors use it in small doses to treat health problems.
* Temporary removal of facial wrinkles
* Severe underarm sweating
* Cervical dystonia - a neurological disorder that causes severe neck and shoulder muscle contractions
* Blepharospasm - uncontrollable blinking
* Strabismus - misaligned eyes
BOTOX® injections work by weakening or paralyzing certain muscles or by blocking certain nerves. The effects last about three to four months. Side effects can include pain at the injection site, flu-like symptoms, headache and upset stomach. Injections in the face may also cause temporary drooping eyelids. You should not use BOTOX® if you are pregnant or breast feeding.

What is BOTOX®?
• BOTOX® comes from a kind of bacteria. The bacteria can make you very sick. But doctors have found that a chemical in BOTOX® can also help treat some health problems. They have been using it safely for many years.
How was this found?
• FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approved BOTOX® over 10 years ago to treat certain problems with the eye muscle. Doctors noticed that some wrinkles around the eyes looked better, too. The company that makes BOTOX® tested it. They showed the FDA that BOTOX® worked and was safe for treating some kinds of wrinkles.
How does BOTOX® work?
• Wrinkles may be caused when a muscle tightens. BOTOX® is injected through the skin into the muscle. The BOTOX® keeps the muscle from tightening. When the muscle can't tighten, the wrinkle doesn't show as much.
You mean you can't move your muscles?
• A doctor trained in the use of BOTOX® will inject small amounts of BOTOX® into the muscle. Only the treated muscle can't move.
What happens over time?
BOTOX® works for about four months. As the muscle returns to normal, you will see the wrinkle again.
Are there any side effects?
Yes
Side effects may include:
* Droopy eyelids, which can last for a few weeks
* Feeling like you have the flu
* Headache and upset stomach
* Risk of botulism (a life or death illness that makes it hard for a person to move the arms and legs or to breathe) is low with BOTOX®, if used the right way
REMEMBER- BOTOX® is a drug, not a cosmetic.
What should I do if I want to try BOTOX®?
* Ask about how BOTOX® could help or hurt you
* Make sure your doctor is trained in the use of BOTOX®
* Make sure you get treatment in a doctor's office or clinic
* Emergency equipment should be on hand in case of a problem
* Do not use if you are pregnant or think you might be pregnant
* Do not use if you are breast feeding
* Tell your doctor if you are taking antibiotics
* Tell your doctor if you have any problems with nerves or muscles
Quick Facts About BOTOX®:
Are "BOTOX® parties" safe?
No. You should only get BOTOX® in a clinic or doctor's office. You should never share a tube of BOTOX®.
Can I use BOTOX® on other wrinkles?
BOTOX® is only approved to treat wrinkles between the eyebrows.
Can I get BOTOX® at any age?
BOTOX® is only approved for people 18-65 years old. It has not been tested on people under 18 or over 65.
BOTOX® Injections
The American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery recommends persons considering Botox® treatment to:
1. Check the physician's credentials: The physician should be trained and qualified in facial plastic surgery. The human face has a complex anatomy and the surgeon must be familiar with the physiology and function of more than 40 muscles present in the face. Members of the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery are qualified to perform injections of the face because of their extensive experience in performing facial plastic and reconstructive surgical procedures.
2. Insist on a complete medical evaluation: When a person is submitting to any medical treatment that may involve complications, he or she should consult with a physician for a medical evaluation and complete medial history before treatment.
3. Be informed: The physician you are consulting with should explain the factual information and discuss the risk, benefits, and alternative treatments and make recommendations for treatment. An inform consent document must be signed by the patient. Avoid the consumption of alcohol when under going a medical procedure.
4. Choose the appropriate setting for treatment: Botox® injections are medical procedures and should be performed in the presence of trained medical personnel and proper equipment to deal with potential complications. All injection should be performed using sterile techniques and proper disposal of needles and syringes is necessary
