WHAT IS BOTOX® COSMETIC?

BOTOX^® Cosmetic is a simple, nonsurgical, physician-administered treatment that can temporarily smooth moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in people from 18 to 65 years of age. It is the only treatment of its type approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

One 10-minute treatment—a few tiny injections—and within days there's a noticeable improvement in moderate to severe frown lines between the brows, which can last up to 4 months. Results may vary.

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.

There’s only one BOTOX^® Cosmetic. Talk to Dr. Huertas to see if BOTOX^® Cosmetic is right for you!

BOTOX® COSMETIC MAY WORK FOR YOU!

When it comes to selecting a physician-administered aesthetic treatment, chances are you’ll want proof, not just claims. The proof for BOTOX^® Cosmetic is in the numbers.

• In clinical trials, nearly 90% of men and women surveyed rated the improvement in the appearance of frown lines between their brows as moderate to better 1 month after treatment. Results vary.
• Results can last for up to 4 months, and may vary.
• BOTOX^® Cosmetic was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2002 for the temporary treatment of moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in people ages 18 to 65, and almost 3.3 million procedures were performed in 2005 alone.
• The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery ranked BOTOX^® Cosmetic as the most popular physician-administered aesthetic procedure in the United States for the fourth year in a row (surgical and nonsurgical combined).

So why not ask Dr. Huertas if BOTOX^® Cosmetic is right for you?

WHAT ABOUT OTHER PROCEDURES AND PRODUCTS?

Whether it's emu oil, Dead Sea minerals, collagen creams, fruit acids, fat injections, or chemical peels, there are more anti-wrinkle procedures and products than you can shake a mascara wand at.

If you're looking for something for that one tough wrinkle spot, the area between your brows, be sure to talk to Dr. Huertas about BOTOX Cosmetic and find out if it's right for you!

BOTOX^® Cosmetic is the only treatment of its type approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the temporary improvement of moderate to severe frown lines between the brows. What's more, unlike many procedures and over-the-counter wrinkle remedies, BOTOX^® Cosmetic treats the cause of these frown lines by reducing the muscle contractions that cause the lines to form over time.

You may see creams or gels advertised, or products that claim to be "better than BOTOX." However, none of these products is associated with BOTOX^® Cosmetic. The fact is, there is only one BOTOX^® Cosmetic.

Other procedures and products*	What they are
Alpha-hydroxy acids	Alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) are derived from fruit and dairy products and act as exfoliators and moisturizers. Many dermatologists recommend AHAs to soften rough skin and erase fine lines. The strength of AHAs depends on their acid concentration.
Chemical peeling	Also called chemabrasion and dermapeeling, this facial skin rejuvenation procedure does what its name implies—it peels the skin. Chemical peels may contain alpha-hydroxy acids or other acids. Peels are typically used to treat wrinkles and pigment changes caused by sun exposure.
Collagen injections	Collagen is a fibrous protein substance that is part of all human and animal tissue. Collagen injections typically involve bovine (cow-derived) or human collagen. Collagen injections are used to minimize lines and scars, filling wrinkles between the eyebrows, wrinkles from mouth to nose, and forehead wrinkles. Collagen is typically a dermal filler that offers a partial, short-term approach to fill in and smooth mild lines or folds.
Dermabrasion	With dermabrasion, the surface layer of the skin is removed by high-speed sanding. This technique is used for a wide range of purposes, from removal or reduction of acne and scars to facial skin rejuvenation. Microdermabrasion is a technique that removes less surface skin and is used most often for superficial skin defects.
Laser resurfacing	Laser resurfacing with a pulsed CO2 laser works best on fine, shallow wrinkles caused by aging or sun damage. Lasers emit a very brief pulse of high-intensity light that's fast enough to limit heat damage in the skin, yet strong enough to vaporize tissue cleanly.
Fat implants	Fat implants are used as sub-dermal fillers. With this procedure, fat is essentially taken from one area (usually the belly, buttocks, or thighs) and put elsewhere—in an area where you want it. The fat is cleaned of blood and other fluids and deposited in laugh lines, frown lines, sunken chins, and hollow cheeks.
