BOTOX® Cosmetic

1. BOTOX® Cosmetic is a simple, minimally invasive injectable treatment that creates a temporary smoothed and improved appearance of the wrinkle-causing muscles between the brows that lasts up to four months. Most side effects are temporary and typically associated with the injection itself, such as localized pain, tenderness, redness and/or bruising.

2. More than 13 million aesthetic procedures with BOTOX® Cosmetic (botulinum toxin type A) have been administered since the product was first approved in 2002 in the United States for temporary treatment of moderate to severe glabellar lines (the vertical "frown lines" between the eyebrows) in adults 18 to 65.

3. According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), more than three million BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments were administered in 2006 alone.

4. Ninety-seven percent of patients were definitely satisfied with BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments, according to a survey of approximately 1,000 patients conducted by the research arm of ASAPS.

5. BOTOX® Cosmetic, approved in 2002 for the temporary treatment of glabellar lines, is the same medicine that is used to treat patients with medical conditions under the name BOTOX®. It is, however, administered in significantly different doses for aesthetic application.

6. BOTOX® has been used therapeutically for over 16 years to treat a variety of medical conditions and it is approved in more than 75 countries.

7. BOTOX® Cosmetic should only be administered by a licensed healthcare professional (HCP) who is well trained in the anatomy of the face, like the technicians at Caddell's Laser Clinic, in Bellevue, WA.
