Reports confirm that Botox Cosmetic Treatment makes Patients Appear Five to Six Years Younger
A first-of-its-kind analysis of data from multiple studies has found
that a large proportion of patients report looking an average of five
to six years younger than their current age after treatment for
multiple upper facial lines with BOTOX(R) Cosmetic (Botulinum Toxin
Type A, Allergan, Inc.).(i) As many as 63 percent of patients receiving
BOTOX Cosmetic reported looking younger than their current age after
treatment for upper facial lines compared to just 23 percent of
patients receiving placebo. The findings were presented today at the
American Academy of Dermatology Academy ‘06 meeting in San Diego.
Patients treated for multiple facial lines perceived that they
looked younger than those who were treated with BOTOX Cosmetic for
glabellar lines or crow’s feet alone. This suggests that the overall,
subtle smoothing in the appearance of facial lines achieved by treating
multiple areas may be an important factor in a patient’s perception of
looking younger," said Alastair Carruthers, M.D., a cosmetic
dermasurgeon in Vancouver, Canada and a co-investigator in the study.
