BOTOX®
Cosmetic & Treatment
BOTOX® Cosmetic and fillers, such as Restylane and Sculptra,
used in combination usually afford the best results in treating
wrinkles on the face. BOTOX® Cosmetic works best on the upper
half of your face. Dr. Gottlieb and Dr. Goldman inject BOTOX®
Cosmetic to relax those muscles that control your facial expressions
-- the ones that create the deep furrows and wrinkles between
your eyebrows, on your forehead or around your eyes.
Results
are normally seen within 48 hours, although it may take up to two
weeks for some patients. A BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment may last up
to six months, but if treatments are done regularly, the effects
become longer in duration and may eventually become permanent. Drs.
Gottlieb and Goldman also use BOTOX® Cosmetic to smooth neck bands
and wrinkles.
Fillers such as Restylane, Sculptra,
Cosmoderm, Cosmoplast, Hylaform and others are best used to fill
in wrinkles and hollows on the face and for depressed scars. Combining
Restylane and collagen treatments creates a firmer appearance with
little or no smile lines, vertical lip lines, marionette lines,
or acne scars. And the result is immediate. Sculptra, used to fill
hollows created by fat loss, is not immediate and takes more than
one treatment. Results are generally seen in four to six weeks following
the first treatment.

How BOTOX® Cosmetic
Works
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a non-surgical,
physician-administered aesthetic treatment for moderate to severe
frown lines between the brows in people ages 18 to 65. BOTOX®
Cosmetic works by reducing the contractions of the muscles that
cause those persistent frown lines that have developed over time.
The smile lines around the eyes and the forehead lines can be reduced
or eliminated in a similar fashion.
