Last year there were over 1.6 million treatments with Botox in the United States alone. Botox treatments have been around for over twenty years and there are over 200 studies confirming the safety and efficacy of Botox. BOTOX is FDA approved for the treatment of Glabella frown lines between the eyes and crows feet (around the corners of the eyes), but it is also commonly used for the treatment of forehead wrinkles, to elevate the brow, and to reduce the appearance of wide and prominent jaw-line, vertical neck bands, headaches, and sweating. Studies have shown that using cosmetic botox for ongoing period of time, patients have noticed substantial softening of existing wrinkles but also prevention of new wrinkles developing.
