BOTOX® Cosmetic

Nurse Rana demonstrates the proper administration of BOTOX® Cosmetic injections, which reduces the appearance of the frown lines and crow's feet. This is a quick non-surgical treatment that can have a significant impact on how young the facial skin looks.

MS. KENNELTY: Hi. I’m Rana, a Registered Nurse at the Whole Beauty Institute of Chicago. Today I will demonstrate a procedure, BOTOX Cosmetic. Carrie and I have been chatting about the things that she would like to correct. Can you tell me about those again Carrie? CARRIE: Yes. I just feel like I work a lot of hours but I don’t want my face to look like that. See right here when I frown, I just don’t like this area. It’s really deep lines, deeply lined right here. Is that, can you treat that? MS. KENNELTY: We can absolutely do something for you here at the Whole Beauty Institute. We have a wonderful treatment for you called BOTOX Cosmetic. We can treat this area called the Gabella, which has the frown lines and also this area around here for the crow’s feet. And you also mentioned the frontellis, these lines. But today we are going to treat on label FDA approved Cabella line. CARRIE: So this will make me look fresher and less tired? MS. KENNELTY: Absolutely. You are going to love this treatment. CARRIE: That sounds great. MS. KENNELTY: Shall we get started? CARRIE: Let’s do it. MS. KENNELTY: Okay. Without question BOTOX Cosmetic is the most popular wrinkle treatment in the US. The beauty of a BOTOX Cosmetic treatment is that it is simple. A ten-minute non-surgical procedure. That is why you have heard it referred to as a lunchtime procedure. The lines that appear between Carries brows also known as Gabella lines actually result from muscle contraction or muscle movement and the passage of time. First I will cleanse the area. I am going to remove Carries makeup and prepare her skin for the BOTOX Cosmetic treatment. Secondly, I will give a few tiny comfortable injections administered directly into the muscles that cause those moderate to severe frown lines between the brows. It will be five tiny treatment sites. Within days there can be a noticeable improvement in the frown lines, which can last up to four months giving Carrie a natural soft appearance. Immediately after the BOTOX Cosmetic treatment there may be five little tiny mosquito bites. What we do to calm these down is we apply a cold compress for five to ten minutes. After the cold compress we want our patients to look after their skin. We use vitamin A and Vitamin C products medical grade and we also apply SPF. So Carrie we have just finished your BOTOX Cosmetic treatment. Tell me about your experience? CARRIE: I can’t believe how quick and so much less painful than I thought it would be. MS. KENNELTY: Wonderful. Why don’t you take a look in the mirror? CARRIE: Wow. I don’t even see. It looks like I can go right back to work and not even have to worry? MS. KENNELTY: That is the beauty of BOTOX Cosmetic. It really is a lunchtime procedure. Here at the Whole Beauty Institute we ask our patients to return a week to two weeks after their original treatment so we can review the results and patients satisfaction.
