What Is BOTOX ® Cosmetic Used For?
Botox ® was originally intended for the treatment of blepharospasm (eye spasm) and strabismus (misalignment of the eye). However, BOTOX ® Cosmetic was approved in 2002 for cosmetic applications to improve the look of fine lines and superficial wrinkles caused from every day facial expressions like smiling, frowning or squinting by prohibiting these movements. If you find that the early signs of aging are becoming apparent or if your facial expressions are causing premature wrinkles to appear, then BOTOX ® Cosmetic may be for you. BOTOX ® Cosmetic is also used in the prevention or smoothing of wrinkles as well, by prohibiting you from making the facial gestures that cause wrinkles. BOTOX ® Cosmetic may not remove a static wrinkle completely, it only disallows you from furrowing your brow or squinting a certain part around your eye. If your wrinkles are static then it may lessen them a bit. However, if your wrinkles are superficial it can smooth it considerably so that it appears that they have been removed.
