you took years off my face" - M.B.

Due to popular request, we are featuring part one of the 'The truth about BOTOX ®' article, written by Dr. Susan Davoodifar and published in the August 2005 edition of the 'Orange County Health' Magazine.

The Truth about Botox ®

Part 1

BOTOX ® temporarily smoothes moderate to severe frown lines, helping you to regain a more youthful appearance. Its affordability, effectiveness, safety record and treatment comfort makes BOTOX ® a true winner compared to any other anti-wrinkle treatment.

These advantages make BOTOX ® the number one non-surgical cosmetic procedure in the United States, according to the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (ASAPS).

Yet, many possible candidates that could greatly benefit from BOTOX ® treatments are hesitant due to unjustified misconceptions:



Myth 1: "BOTOX ® is dangerous"

BOTOX ® has a great safety record

BOTOX ® has been used for treatment of facial lines since 1987. With over 2.8 million procedures performed annually, no long-term side effects are seen, even with repeated BOTOX ® injections and among patients who received 30 injection sessions over a nine-year period.

In fact, BOTOX ® is also effective for a variety of other debilitating medical disorders such as migraine headaches, back pain, spastic limbs due to stroke, cerebral palsy, writer's cramp, tic disorders, hand tremors, vocal cord disorders, excessive underarm sweating and is currently under study for many other medical indications.



Myth 2: "I will have a frozen face with no facial expressions"

BOTOX ® can give you a naturally youthful appearance

There is a harmonious balance between the muscles of the face. If too much BOTOX ® is injected, one can easily lose the action of muscles of expression. However, if this muscular balance is maintained, by only injecting small doses into specific muscles, one can have a natural softening of unwanted lines and wrinkles without compromising facial expressions.
