Facts about BOTOX® Cosmetic

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium. It is a nonsurgical treatment that can temporarily reduce moderate to severe frown lines and wrinkles in people 18 to 65 years of age. During treatment, very low doses of BOTOX® Cosmetic are administered via a few tiny injections directly into the muscles that cause those stubborn lines. The treatment is usually done in about 10 minutes, and no recovery time is needed. Within days, you may see an improvement that can last up to 4 months.

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles and used to improve the look of moderate-to-severe frown lines between the brows in people 18 to 65 years of age for a short period of time (temporary).

BOTOX® Cosmetic is administered by a healthcare professional as a simple, nonsurgical treatment that is injected directly into the muscles between the brows. It works by blocking nerve impulses to the injected muscles. This reduces muscle activity that causes moderate to severe lines to form between the brows.

While BOTOX® is best known for reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, it is also gaining popularity as a preventative measure against wrinkles on the forehead, between the brows, and at the corners of the eyes. Amerejuve offers free consultations to ensure you are a good candidate for BOTOX® and that it’s the best option for achieving your goals.

Botox FAQs

Is Botox right for me?
If you are looking for a way to reverse time, or to look more relaxed instead of tense all the time. We offer free Botox consults and go over your areas of concerns and discuss if you are a good candidate.
How does BOTOX® Cosmetic work?
Botox works by blocking the transmission of nerve impulses to the injected muscles; this reduces the activity of muscles that cause those persistent lines to form. Learn more about Preventive Botox.
What should I expect during my Botox treatment?
Some patients report a pinch during the injection itself. If you’re concerned about the discomfort, it may be possible to use ice or a numbing cream to ensure minimal discomfort.
Can I get BOTOX® with my skin tone?
As Botox is injected under the skin, skin tone does not effect your treatment. Any skin tone can be treated with BOTOX® to address wrinkles and lines between the eyebrows and at the corner of the eyes (crow’s feet).
What do I expect right after Botox injections?
You may have some redness but will subside within a few minutes. We will go over Post Botox instructions which include not to exercise for 24 to 48 hours. Remain upright for 4 hours. Avoid hot tubs, saunas, or tanning for at least 7 days to up to 2 weeks. Avoid facials, microdermabrasion, chemical peels, and massages at least 7 days to up to 2 weeks.
When will I see results from a BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment?
Within days, you may see a marked improvement in the moderate to severe frown lines and wrinkles. Lines continue to improve for up to a month, and results can last for up to 4 months.
How long does BOTOX® Cosmetic last? Is Botox permanent?
Results from treatment with BOTOX® Cosmetic can last for up to 4 months. If you discontinue treatment, the frown lines and wrinkles will look like they did before treatment. The Botox solution is gradually absorbed by your body over time and most typically lasts 3 – 4 months. This makes Botox an ideal solution for TMJ pain as patients can experience immediate pain relief, while implementing solutions to remedy the underlying cause of the pain; such as a soft diet, jaw exercises, or being fitted with customized night guard to prevent teeth clenching and grinding at night.
What are the long term effects of Botox?
Most side effects are temporary and should fade within a few days. However, drooping eyelids, drooling, and asymmetry could be caused by the unintentional effects of the toxin on the muscles surrounding the target areas of the drug, if any of these occur, it could take several weeks to improve as the toxin wears off.
Where can BOTOX® be injected?
The three most common areas for BOTOX® injections are between the eyebrows, on the forehead, and next to the eyes where “crow’s feet” form. BOTOX® can improve your appearance and prevent the formation of deep expression lines that make you look older. BOTOX® will not help fine lines or wrinkles that are not due to facial expressions. Studies have shown clients who suffer from hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) can benefit from BOTOX® injections.
How does BOTOX® work?
BOTOX® is administered by injection; it relaxes the muscles where it is injected, decreasing and preventing wrinkling of the skin. With a skilled injector, the results are relaxed, natural-looking facial expressions.
How many units of BOTOX® does it take to get the look I want?

It depends on the depth of the wrinkles. On average, the amount for the forehead is 15-20 units, 18-20 units for frown lines, and between 6-12 units per eye for crow’s feet.

Is Botox The Solution for TMJ Pain ?
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders are a group of conditions that affect the temporomandibular jaw joint and the surrounding muscles, often resulting in prolonged and severe pain. Botox works by paralyzing the tight muscles around the jaw, eliminating the resulting pain. Botox can also be used to relieve headaches caused by clenching or grinding. A small amount of Botox is injected into the problematic muscles, and injection sites will be specifically formulated to target the specific causes of your TMJ pain.
Is BOTOX® safe for men?

BOTOX® Cosmetic is certainly not just for women. If you are a man and think it’s time to do something about those moderate to severe glabellar lines between your brows, talk to an Amerejuve healthcare professional about whether BOTOX® Cosmetic is right for you.
