Take a look at men and women who've had BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments, and see for yourself! One 10-minute treatment, a few tiny injections, and within days there's a noticeable improvement in moderate to severe frown lines between the brows, which can last up to 4 months. Results may vary.
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium, which reduces the activity of the muscles that cause those frown lines between the brows to form over time.
In 2005, almost 3.3 million procedures were performed with FDA-approved BOTOX® Cosmetic. When it comes to selecting a physician-administered aesthetic treatment, chances are you'll want proof, not just claims. The proof for BOTOX® Cosmetic is in the numbers.
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. Results vary.
Results can last for up to 4 months, and may vary.

A JUVÉDERM® advantage is its pliant gel consistency, which may provide a smoother, more natural-looking appearance than some of its more rigid predecessors. Another advantage is that JUVÉDERM® may last longer, maintaining the improved appearance for six to nine months. The benefits may last even longer if you have a follow-up treatment a few weeks after the first treatment.
JUVÉDERM®
JUVÉDERM® dermal filler was FDA-approved in June 2006 for the treatment of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds such as nasolabial folds (those lines that extend from your nose to the corners of your mouth).
What is JUVÉDERM®?
JUVÉDERM® is a gel implant that includes hyaluronic acid, a natural complex sugar that bolsters skin elasticity, providing a smooth and supple appearance. It is biocompatible, supplementing the body's natural hyaluronic acid, which age has depleted.
How Does JUVÉDERM® Work?
The transparent JUVÉDERM® gel is injected with a syringe into the mid- to deep dermis of your face. The dermis is the subsurface skin layer that contains connective tissue, nerve endings, sweat and oil glands, and blood vessels.
JUVÉDERM® improves your appearance by lifting and adding volume to the wrinkles and folds in the treatment area. After six to nine months, the biocompatible compound is naturally absorbed into the body.
The injectable gel filler is available in three formulas:
- JUVÉDERM® 18: a fluid gel targeting the superficial (upper) dermis for fine lines such as crow's feet.
- JUVÉDERM® 24: a denser gel targeting the mid-dermis for moderate lines such as forehead winkles.
- JUVÉDERM® 30: the densest gel, targeting the deep dermis for deep naso-genian grooves (the folds between your cheeks and nose) and nasolabial folds, for enhancing lip volume, and for reshaping cheek contours.
