Since 1999, SkinMedica^® has developed high-quality, science-backed formulas that deliver visible results.

"Our breakthrough TNS^® product, developed through a unique process that harnessed growth factors, transformed SkinMedica^® from a startup into a brand known for innovation and excellence."

"Beautiful skin is timeless," Dr. Butterwick continues. "For 25 years, SkinMedica^® has helped people feel more confident in their own skin, and I continue to count on them to provide science-based solutions to address my patients' key skincare concerns. As we celebrate this anniversary, I look forward to seeing how SkinMedica^® continues to innovate and provide exceptional skincare in the next 25 years."

BOTOX^® COSMETIC IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION AND APPROVED USES

Approved Uses
BOTOX^® Cosmetic is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles and used to temporarily improve the look of moderate to severe forehead lines, crow's feet lines, and frown lines between the eyebrows in adults.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
BOTOX^® Cosmetic may cause serious side effects that can be life threatening. Get medical help right away if you have any of these problems any time (hours to weeks) after injection of BOTOX^® Cosmetic:

• Problems swallowing, speaking, or breathing, due to weakening of associated muscles, can be severe and result in loss of life. You are at the highest risk if these problems are pre-existing before injection. Swallowing problems may last for several months.

BOTOX^® Cosmetic dosing units are not the same as, or comparable to, any other botulinum toxin product.

There has not been a confirmed serious case of spread of toxin effect when BOTOX^® Cosmetic has been used at the recommended dose to treat frown lines, crow's feet lines, and/or forehead lines.

BOTOX^® Cosmetic may cause loss of strength or general muscle weakness, vision problems, or dizziness within hours to weeks of taking BOTOX^® Cosmetic. If this happens, do not drive a car, operate machinery, or do other dangerous activities.
