Here's
what you might expect at the doctor's office
from the moment you arrive until your procedure
is done. (Please note that although this
experience is typical, the routine at your
doctor's office may be different.
The
day of your appointment. Allow time before
your appointment for filling out forms and
for consulting with the doctor or a member
of his or her staff. If it's your initial
visit, you may first meet with your doctor
personally or a staff member. Many doctors
have on-staff licensed aestheticians or
nurses who are trained in skin care and
skin care procedures who can answer many
of your questions.

You may
also be asked about your expectations for treatment
and if you have any allergies or any condition that
wouldn't make you a good candidate for BOTOX® Cosmetic.
(See the full prescribing information for more details.)
Before
the procedure. You'll probably be seated in a reclining
chair, much like you find in a dentist's office. No
anesthesia is required, although your doctor may choose
to numb the area with a cold pack or anesthetic cream.
The procedure.
Your doctor will determine where to administer the injections
by examining your ability to move certain muscles in
your brow area. The entire BOTOX® Cosmetic injection
procedure takes approximately 10 minutes.
For more
information, read about the injection process.
After
the procedure. There's no recovery time needed. You're
ready to get on with your day! The most common side
effects following injection include temporary eyelid
droop and nausea. Localized pain, infection, inflammation,
tenderness, swelling, redness, and/or bleeding/bruising
may be associated with the injection. Patients with
certain neuromuscular disorders such as ALS, myasthenia
gravis, or Lambert-Eaton syndrome may be at increased
risk of serious side effects.
Seeing
results. Within days, you may notice an improvement
in the moderate to severe frown lines between your brows
that can last up to 4 months. Results may vary.
