Over the last two decades, BOTOX Cosmetic has become a household name--making it the number one selling product of its kind, the one approved to temporarily make moderate to severe forehead lines, crow's feet lines and frown lines look better in adults. But people may forget, it is a medical procedure. Many people are interested in learning more about getting treated and there is only one BOTOX Cosmetic, but how do you know you're getting the real BOTOX Cosmetic? This FDA approved one-of-a-kind formulation through its manufacturing process and scientific rigor can temporarily improve the look of three areas--moderate to severe frown lines, crow's feet lines, and forehead lines in adults. Board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Michelle Henry teamed up with Allergan Aesthetics, an AbbVie company-the makers of BOTOX Cosmetic, and the only authorized suppliers of BOTOX Cosmetic in the US-to show us how to ensure product safety, quality, and efficacy. What happens in many cases is people use the word 'Botox' ubiquitously, not specifically for BOTOX Cosmetic. The FDA has stated BOTOX Cosmetic is 'not interchangeable,' which means that its safety and effectiveness cannot be claimed by any other product. There are no substitutes for BOTOX Cosmetic. Potential flags to look out for: significantly discounted product may indicate it's not the real deal, supplier claims their product is 'equivalent to BOTOX Cosmetic' or 'approved in another country,' and lastly, if it feels too good to be true, it may be. It's extremely important to only go to medical professionals who are licensed and trained to provide aesthetic treatments both for safety and to help you achieve your desired outcomes.

00:00 Hi, I'm Dr. Michelle Henry and I'm here to tell you the importance of getting the
00:04 real deal Botox Cosmetic. So over the last two decades, Botox Cosmetic has
00:09 really become a household name, transforming the aesthetic industry and
00:13 becoming the number one selling product of its kind. So it's a neurotoxin and
00:17 it's approved to temporarily treat moderate to severe frown lines, forehead
00:22 lines, and crow's feet. So getting the real deal Botox Cosmetic is absolutely
00:28 critical. You know, there have been millions of treatments and sometimes
00:31 people forget that this is truly a medical procedure. And with medical
00:35 procedures, there's a measure of risk. So make sure you talk to your doctor to
00:39 make sure this is the right procedure and product for you. So when we're having
00:45 choosing a neurotoxin, it's really important that we think about the data
00:48 and the science. So again, over 20 years of safe use and then a rigorous
00:53 scientific procedure behind it to make sure you're safe. So allergen aesthetics,
00:57 the only authorized provider and distributor of Botox Cosmetic, really has
01:04 strict procedures in place to make sure the right product goes into right hands.
01:08 And that quality control really makes me feel safe. You know, there are over 5,200
01:13 publications on Botox Cosmetic and 604 actual medical journal articles. So this
01:18 is really important. It's FDA approved for all three areas, not just
01:22 individually, but together. So you can treat the frown lines, the forehead, and
01:26 the crow's feet together. And when you have FDA approval, not only is it a
01:31 rigorous process, but it helps to detail the dose and the actual area you should
01:35 treat. So when I'm treating my patients, I want to make sure that I have a data
01:39 backed, science backed product and that really keeps me safe.
