How Lines and Wrinkles Can Form Between the Brows

• Movement of brow muscles causes the skin to
  crease
• Skin becomes less elastic over time repeated
  frowning creates lines and wrinkles between the
  brows (the clinical term is glabellar lines)

7
Patient Testimonial

• I realized my frown lines had grown strong
  enough that evenin my relaxed state, they were
  fairly pronounced.

8
How BOTOX Cosmetic Works

• BOTOX Cosmetic is a purified protein that
  smoothes the muscles by blocking nerve impulses
• With a few tiny injections, BOTOX Cosmetic
  blocks the release of acetylcholine, the chemical
  that causes muscles to contract
• With less movement, the skin surface gradually
  smoothes out, and the lines begin to fade

9
What to Expect From a BOTOX Cosmetic Procedure

• Simple 10-minute procedure consists of a few tiny
  injections
• Results typically seen in days and may continue
  to improve during the first week after treatment
  (results may vary)
• No anesthesia is required
• You may be advised to numb the area with a cold
  pack or anesthetic cream prior to injecting
• Minimal and brief discomfort
• Most patients compared the sensation to a bug
  bite
• There may be slight temporary bruising at the
  injection site
• This can be easily covered up with makeup
