break. With systematically growing number of properly trained Botox
providers, and proven record of safety over the last 15 years, Botox
Cosmetic® became a truly wonder procedure, and was approved for
treatment of dynamic wrinkles of the face in more than seventy
countries. With Botox Cosmetic® meeting the criteria of a non-surgical
cosmetic procedure that won public heart (effective and safe, simple and

three million Botox Cosmetic® procedures are performed annually in North
America and this number is steadily growing as more women and men learn

How do the facial wrinkles form? With skin aging, losing its natural high moisture content, and repeated frowning, a special pattern of dynamic wrinkles form, giving our faces a characteristic pattern of ‘frown’ (glabella), ‘worry’ lines (forehead), and ‘crow’s feet (sides of the eyes) wrinkles. The below photos readily present true benefits of Botox Cosmetic® as the wrinkles are simply gone a few days after the Botox application, that last 3-5 months or longer.
Frequent Asked Questions About Botox Treatments
What is Botox Cosmetic®?
Botox Cosmetic® is a natural product that relaxes dynamic wrinkles
arising from activity of facial and neck muscles. It is a natural
purified protein extracted in a high-tech Allergan laboratory and is
extracted from specially harvested bacteria and delivered in a form of
refined medication available only to certified Botox injectors.
Is Botox Cosmetic® a safe drug?
Botox Cosmetic® has almost 15 year long excellent safety track record
and is approved for use in more than 70 countries. Botox Cosmetic® is
an ideal drug for minimally invasive non-surgical cosmetic procedures
that give great and predictable beneficial results.
Is Botox Cosmetic® popular?
Botox Cosmetic® is the most demanded cosmetic drug that enables women
and men reduce their wrinkles during a very short procedure. It was
featured on many beauty shows as the hottest solution to wrinkle
treatment and became a standard of modern medical esthetics.
What Botox Cosmetic® Treatment entitles?
Botox Cosmetic® is applied by a certified injector (in MD Spa and
Laser Clinic - by a Cosmetic Physician or R. N. - whoever you choose) in
a few minute injections using a thinnest needle possible to carefully
identified areas of the face where facial muscle activity causes dynamic
wrinkles. Skin is cleansed and then is numbed with a cream and/or ice.
Performing the injections takes a minute or so, and there is very little
(if any) discomfort. You can resume your regular activities, however,
it is recommended that you will not lie down or engage in vigorous
physical activities over four hours after the injections.
What side effects can occur?
Side effects arising from Botox Cosmetic® injections are transient and usually negligible. However, some Clients reported:
- Pain (like from a mosquito bite)
- A tiny bruise (resolving within a few days)
- Itch (pruritus) over the injection site
- Minimal skin redness (very brief)
- Headache
Also, there is a small risk of getting a transient eye lid droop if the
injected drug moves into the muscles responsible for elevating the eye
lids. This happens extremely rarely and can be readily treated with eye
drops (Iodipine 0.5% to be applied once or twice a day for a week or
less).
Who is not a candidate for Botox Cosmetic®?
A vast majority of Canadians who developed some facial and neck
wrinkles, will greatly benefit from Botox Cosmetic®. All potential

- Pregnancy and breastfeeding

a smooth arches. Correction of the shape of mouth by lifting its
