Botox is a simple non-surgical procedure that can dramatically shave years from your face in a procedure that takes a matter of minutes. It is FDA approved therapeutic muscle-relaxing agent that is placed in muscles via tiny injection using a very fine needle with minimal discomfort.

Having a treatment with BOTOX® is one way that you can invest in your appearance. Talking with your doctor will help determine if BOTOX® Cosmetic is right for you. BOTOX® Cosmetic was the most popular physician-administered aesthetic procedure in the United States for the fourth year in a row (surgical and nonsurgical combined). The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) estimates that almost 3.3 million treatments were performed in 2005 alone—that's an increase of almost 16% over 2004.
BOTOX® Cosmetic is the only treatment approved by the FDA for the temporary relief of moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in people 18 to 65 years of age. With one simple 10-minute treatment, results can be seen within a couple of days and can last for up to 4-6 months. Individual results may vary.

You've heard it many times before: A product is advertised as "FDA-approved." But what does that really mean?

In the United States, prescription drugs and biologics are required to undergo rigorous laboratory, animal, and human clinical testing before they can be put on the market.
