Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could have young looking skin all of our lives? Elements such as air pollution, smoking, drinking, wind and sunlight, coupled with the natural process of aging, take a toll on our bodies and nowhere is it more noticeable than on our face. As we get older, our once youthful expressions begin to create permanent creases and wrinkles in our brow, around and between our eyes, making us look older than we actually are. If you have tried every over-the-counter cream and lotion on the market, and nothing has worked to erase those bothersome creases and wrinkles on your face, then BOTOX® Cosmetic is just for you.

Treatment with BOTOX® Cosmetic is FDA approved and can visibly smooth and soften moderate to severe frown lines between your brows. Most patients report an improvement within just days after their treatment, with results lasting from 3 to 6 months. In clinical trials, nearly 90% of men and women surveyed rated the improvement in the appearance of frown lines between their brows as moderate to better than expected 1 month after treatment. Many people notice a significant difference in as little as 10 days. BOTOX® Cosmetic is also effective for smoothing lines on other areas of the face, including crow’s feet, wrinkled lip lines, and neckband creases as an off label use (not FDA approved for these areas). Techniques are also available to raise your eyebrows and mouth to give you more of a smiling appearance.

Before	After

If you are ready to start erasing those furrowed brow lines and want to feel younger and more attractive, our staff at La Bella Vita Medical Spa are waiting to assist you in a personalized BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment program that relaxes the muscles and the skin for a smooth appearance.

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a procedure that has been safely used to treat a variety of conditions for more that 10 years. The procedure is quite simple and no anesthesia is required, although the Doctor may choose to numb the area with a cold pack or anesthetic cream prior to the injection. He will first determine where to administer the injections by examining your ability to move certain muscles in your brow area. The location, size, and use of these muscles create a furrowed brow that varies markedly among individuals. Then, the doctor will administer several tiny injections of BOTOX® Cosmetic directly into the muscles that cause those frown lines between the brows. Most patients report that there is little discomfort during treatment, and compare the sensation to that of a ‘pin prick.’ Patients are able to resume normal activity the same day. The procedure is so easy that you can have it done during your lunch break.

If you have noticed how those moderate to severe lines between your eyes and eyebrows may be adding years to your age, ask our doctors how BOTOX® Cosmetic can help you turn back time and give you a more youthful appearance.
