Botox
What is Botox©?
Botox© is an FDA approved treatment to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows, wrinkle lines on the forehead and crow's feet around the eyes in adults. Botox© temporarily reduces muscle activity in these areas and stops the repeated muscle contractions which result in frowning and squinting, which can cause wrinkles over years. Botox© reduces dynamic wrinkles and lines in the forehead and around the eyes which occur when you use your muscles to make facial expressions.

What is BOTOX ®/ VISTABEL® ?
Vistable® is the exact same as Botox® and both are made by Allergan. Botox® is the trade name used for medical indications and Vistable® is the trade name used for cosmetic indications. Ireland develops approximately 80% of the world's Botox®/Vistable® which is manufactured in Mayo by Allergan which is owned by AbbVie. Botox®/Vistable® relaxes the muscles which cause frown lines, forehead lines and crow’s feet. It creates a smoothed, rejuvenated more relaxed appearance.

1.
Try to exercise your treated muscles for 2 – 3 hours after treatment (e.g. practice frowning, raising your eyebrows and squinting for one minute every five minutes for the first two hours). This helps to work BOTOX into your muscles. Although this is thought to help, it will not impact negatively on your treatment if you forget to do this.
2.
Do NOT rub or massage the treated areas for 24 hours after your treatment.
