Botox Cosmetic

What is Botox Cosmetic? 

Botox Cosmetic is a purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium, which, when injected by a trained physician, can greatly reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles.  Dynamic wrinkles are the ones produced by smiling and frowning.  Over time, the muscles get bigger and stronger, thus wrinkling the skin.  Botox Cosmetic prevents the muscles from moving, thereby smoothing the skin.

The Injection Process 

The beauty of Botox Cosmetic is that it’s a simple, 15-minute, non-surgical process.  A few tiny injections, and within days there can be noticeable improvement that lasts 3-4 months.  And there’s no recovery time.  You can even do it on your lunch break.

Side Effects 

Localized pain, slight redness, and/or bleeding/bruising may be associated with the injection.  You will need to remain upright for 4 hours after your injections.

Who should not use Botox Cosmetic? 

Patients with neuromuscular disorders such as ALS, myasthenia gravis or Lambert-Eaton syndrome may be at increased risk of serious side effects.  Women who are pregnant or nursing should not use Botox Cosmetic. 

Botox Cosmetic will reduce the appearance of wrinkles.  To improve the overall appearance of the skin, shrink pores, smooth fine lines, diminish puffiness and even skin tones, Arbonne’s RE9 anti-aging skin care system is the answer.
