| What
is BOTOX Cosmetic™ ? |
| BOTOX® is a novel
therapeutic agent derived from the bacterium, Clostridium Botulinum. BOTOX
Cosmetic™ is a therapeutic muscle-relaxing agent that works at motor nerve
endings (nerves that lead to muscles). |
| How Does BOTOX® Work? |
BOTOX Cosmetic™
works by chemically denervating the muscles underlying the dynamic facial
wrinkles. When BOTOX Cosmetic™ is injected into a muscle, it
blocks the nerve impulse from reaching that area and the muscle relaxes.
Normally your brain sends electrical messages to your muscles so that they
can contract and move. The electrical message is transmitted to the muscle
by a substance called acetylcholine. BOTOX® works to block the release
of acetylcholine and, as a result, the muscle doesn't receive the message
to contract. As the muscle relaxes, the dynamic wrinkle overlying the muscle
is smoothed away.

Where can BOTOX Cosmetic™
be injected?
The most common areas
of injection are the frown lines between the eyebrows, on the forehead
and the sides of the eyes for crows feet. Although some physicians
are injecting BOTOX® around the mouth area, we do NOT as complications
of slurring of speech, inability to swallow, drooling as well as aesthetic
complications frequently can occur.
|
| How is BOTOX®
Administered? Does BOTOX® Treatment Hurt? |
| A tiny amount BOTOX®
is injected into the muscle that creates the dynamic wrinkle. It
is applied in extremely small amounts and does not spread throughout the
body. Because the needle is so fine, and only a small amount of liquid
is used, the pain associated with the injections is minimal. Most
patients compare the sensation to a bug bite. No sedation or local
anesthetic is required.
Some patients experience
a slight temporary bruising or local swelling at the injection site.
This can be covered with make up. Some report minor and temporary discomfort
from the injection, or the injection is followed by brief pain or headache.
Some patients experience a transitory small area of numbness or a sense
of tightness in the forehead area or slight headache. These symptoms
are all temporary and resolve within hour to several days.
|
| When Does BOTOX® Start
to Work? |
| BOTOX Cosmetic™
treatment does NOT work immediately. Within the first day you may
feel a sense of numbness or tightness and you will start to notice a decreased
ability to frown within 3 days increasing in intensity during the first
week. Within one to two weeks post-treatment you will notice an improvement
in dynamic wrinkles. The extent of the improvement and duration varies
from person to person. Some individuals with strongly developed muscles
and deep furrows may take several treatments for maximal effect. |
| How Long Does the Effect
Last? |
| The BOTOX® effect
can last from 3 - 6 months or longer. You will notice a gradual fading
of its effects. At this point you will return to your doctor for your next
treatment. The degree of relief and duration of effect varies from
person to person depending on the thickness of your muscles, the
depth of the your lines, and your individual response to treatment.
After several treatments, BOTOX® effect may last a year or longer. |
| Is BOTOX® a New Treatment?
Is it Safe? |
| BOTOX® has been used
safely and successfully in opthamology for over 10 years and for wrinkle
therapy for over 6 years in thousands of patients worldwide.
BOTOX Cosmetic™ is approved by the FDA for the treatment of wrinkles.
The most common side effects are temporary and localized to the area of
injection. |
| What Side Effects may be
Experienced When Using BOTOX® ? |
| Side effects are minimal
and transient. Occasionally there is temporary bruising and minor
local swelling at the injections site. Other side effects may include
brief pain, headaches (13%), transitory eyelid swelling, a transitory small
area of numbness or feeling of tightness, mild nausea ( 3%) ,
and flu-syndrome (2%). In 1 - 2% of patients, a mild ptosis (eyelid
droop) can occur due to individual variations in a delay in tissue binding
of the toxin and local dissemination of toxin at the injection site.
If eyelid droop does occur it will be short-lived and resolve within approximately
2 -3 weeks. In general, adverse events occur within the first week
following injection of BOTOX® and while generally transient may have
a duration of several months. Localized pain, tenderness and/or bruising
may be associated with the injection. Local weakness of the injected muscle(s)
represents the expected pharmacological action of botulinum toxin. However,
weakness of adjacent muscles may also occur due to spread of toxin.
Patients with neuromuscular
disorders may be at increased risk of clinically significant systemic effects
including severe dysphagia(difficulty swallowing) and respiratory compromise
from typical doses of BOTOX®. The effects of therapy may be increased
with the use of aminoglycoside antibiotics or with other drugs that interfere
with neuromuscular transmission. There have been rare spontaneous reports
of death, sometimes associated with dysphagia, pneumonia, and/or other
significant debility, after treatment with botulin toxin. If a
patient experiences any problem in swallowing or speech or respiratory
disorder arises seek immediate medical attention!

| Is BOTOX® Right for
Me? Who is NOT a Candidate for BOTOX Cosmetic™? |
BOTOX
Cosmetic™ is contraindicated under the following conditions:
-
BOTOX® should not be
used during pregnancy or while breast feeding
-
BOTOX® is contraindicated
in the presence of inflammation or infection at the site of proposed injection
-
BOTOX® is contraindicated
in anyone with known hypersensitivity or allergies to human albumin, Botox
toxin, or saline solution.
-
BOTOX® is contraindicated
in anyone with known motor neuropathy, neuromuscular disorders such as
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, Lambert-Eaton Syndrome,
muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis etc.
-
BOTOX® is contraindicated
in anyone taking Aminoglycoside antibiotics because aminoglycosides
may interfere with neuromuscular transmission and potentiate the effect
of Botox therapy. The following is a list of aminoglycosides: Amikacin
(Amikin), Garamycin, G-Mycin, Gentamicin, Jenamicin,
Kanamycin, Kantrex, Neomycin, Netilmicin (Netromycin),
Streptomycin, Tobramycin (Nebcin).

| How Long Can I be treated
with BOTOX® ? |
| Treatment with BOTOX®
can typically be repeated as long as the patient continues to respond.
BOTOX® has been used for over 10 years worldwide. Acceptable safety
in long-term treatment has been well established. WARNING: BOTOX®
TREATMENTS SHOULD BE NO MORE FREQUENT THAN EVERY THREE MONTHS!
There are a number of
factors that can impact the long-term usage of BOTOX®. These include:
-
For many individuals,
after several treatments the underlying muscles causing dynamic wrinkles
atrophy and weaken and the BOTOX® effect may last a year or longer
and one needs less frequent treatments. But for other patients,
changes occurring with subsequent BOTOX® injections may be less dramatic
than the first injection.
-
BOTOX® injections should
NOT be given more frequently than 3 month intervals in order to prevent
the body's formation of antibodies that may reduce the effectiveness of
subsequent treatments. BOTOX® injections contain proteins. In
certain circumstances, when foreign proteins enter the body, the natural
response is to form antibodies to the protein. When antibodies are formed,
the effect may be that one is no longer able to respond to the therapy.
The potential for antibody formation may be minimized by injecting with
the lowest effective dose given at the longest feasible intervals between
injections.
-
Although some physicians
are using Botox in the neck area and under the arm to prevent sweating,
such treatments are not approved and may increase the body's exposure to
botulinum toxin and lessen the effectiveness of subsequent treatments.
-
An individuals responsiveness
to Botox can not be predicted. A small minority of patients
have no response to Botox and may unknowingly have antibodies to botulinum
toxin.
