How does BOTOX® Cosmetic work?
Those moderate to severe frown lines between your brows form over time
as the result of muscle activity. BOTOX® Cosmetic is injected directly into
nerve impulses to the injected muscles; this reduces the activity of the
muscles that cause those persistent lines to form.
How long does BOTOX® Cosmetic last?
Results from treatment with BOTOX® Cosmetic can last for up to 4 months.
If you discontinue treatment, the frown lines between your brows gradually
will look like they did before treatment.
How is Restylane different from Botox®?
Restylane is a natural, cosmetic filler. In contrast, Botox is a drug that blocks
nerve transmission and relaxes the underlying muscles. Many patients have
been very pleased after receiving treatment with both products. .
How long does Restylane last?
Restylane is proven to deliver long-lasting results. Studies have shown that
Restylane effects generally last for about six months.
What should patients do prior to Restylane treatment?
Restylane requires no pretesting, but you should take a few precautions
before being treated. Avoid using aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory
medication, St. John's wort, or high doses of Vitamin E supplements prior to
treatment, because these may increase bruising or bleeding at the injection
site. Also, if you have previously suffered from facial cold sores, there is a
risk that the needle punctures could contribute to another recurrence.
