It's all about freedom of expression. . .
One day you looked in the mirror and studied those lines that furrowed your
brow, and you wondered: Where did they come from?
Take a look at men and women who've had BOTOX®
Cosmetic treatments, and see for yourself!
Is it just aging? Too much sun? Too much stress? In general, how skin ages and
wrinkles is a complex process. It isn't just about cellular changes, collagen
depletion, hormone loss, damage caused by free radicals, and so on; it's a
combination of many factors.
The Anatomy of the Wrinkle
The lines that appear between your brows (glabellar lines) actually result from
muscle movement and the passage of time. You may have heard the expression
"wearing your emotions on your sleeve," but in reality you wear them on your
face. If you're angry or annoyed, for example, you knit your brows together.
Underneath your skin, your facial muscles contract, cause a pleating of the
overlying skin, and then, as anyone can see, you're frowning.
After years of crinkling and wrinkling, those glabellar lines start to linger
longer and can become more pronounced. For women, whose faces tend to be more
animated than men's, and whose skin is typically more delicate, these lines may
appear exaggerated and more permanent.
Fortunately, there is a way to temporarily reduce moderate to severe glabellar lines.
Treatment with BOTOX® Cosmetic can visibly smooth and soften
moderate to severe frown lines between your brows. An improvement can be seen
within days and may last up to 4 months, although results may vary. 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 1 month
after treatment.
