How soon will I see a difference?
What kind of results can I expect?
You can expect to see results within days after your
treatment. The appearance of the area between
your brows may continue to improve for up to a
week.
By day 30 in a patient clinical study, 89% of patients
judged the severity of their frown lines between
their brows as moderate or better. Visible results
can last up to four months. After that, you may be
ready to return for a follow-up treatment.
Patients with neurological disorders such as ALS,
Myasthenia Gravis, or Lambert-Eaton syndrome
may be at increased risk of serious side effects.
The most common side effects include headache,
respiratory infection, fl u syndrome, temporary eyelid
droop, and nausea.
Other side effects include pain and redness where
the medicine is injected, pain in the face, and
muscle weakness. These effects generally occur
within the fi rst week and usually go away on their
own. Your own results may vary - be sure to talk to
your doctor about what you can expect.
How soon will I need a second
treatment? What happens if I decide
not to continue?
The effects of each treatment can last up to four
months - be sure to schedule your follow-up
treatments in advance. If you decide not to
continue with BOTOX
®
Cosmetic, the area between
your brows will eventually go back to its
pretreatment appearance.
