It is important to remember that BOTOX Cosmetic is not a permanent solution for troubling wrinkles because the effects are not permanent. For many patients, however, the effects have been quite dramatic. Although individual results vary, the results achieved from a single treatment usually last three to six months. You will notice a gradual fading of the effects. When you begin to notice the effects subsiding, you may choose to make another appointment with Allure Medical Weight Control & Wellness for further injections.

To maintain the effects, treatments are usually required two to three times a year. BOTOX Cosmetic treatment may be repeated indefinitely. Currently, BOTOX Cosmetic has been used safely for over twenty years worldwide. Acceptable safety in long-term treatment has been well established.

BOTOX Cosmetic is not a replacement for surgery because the effects are not permanent. However, BOTOX Cosmetic may be used repeatedly or may give you an idea of the results that may be achieved if a more permanent procedure is chosen, such as a facelift, forehead lift, eyelid surgery, chemical peel, dermabrasion or facial laser resurfacing. Ask Allure Medical Weight Control & Wellness for more information about these procedures and others.

BOTOX Cosmetic should not be used if you are pregnant, nursing, or taking certain medications. For instance, the effects may be increased with the use of certain antibiotics. Make sure that Allure Medical Weight Control & Wellness aware of any medications that you are currently taking.

BOTOX Cosmetic also contains certain proteins. In some circumstances, your body may mount an immune response to these proteins. When this occurs, your body may no longer respond to treatment with BOTOX Cosmetic.
