Botox® has been used as a plastic surgery procedure to help relive the signs of wrinkles and aging for nearly a decade now and until recently it was thought that a patient receiving cosmetic surgery Botox® injections had to have the cosmetic procedure in Toronto once every three months or so, but a new study by Roger A. Dailey M.D., F.A.C.S., professor and Lester Jones Endowed Chair of oculofacial plastic surgery in the OHSU School of Medicine have determined that,

“After two years of treatment at recommended intervals, patients can potentially cut the frequency, and thus the cost of their Botox® treatments by half.” – Dailey

The research was sponsored by an unrestricted educational grant from Allergen, Inc., the makers of Botox® Cosmetic and it demonstrated that patients that received the cosmetic surgery injections from their early 30′s throughout their 50′s were able to prevent wrinkles from forming and even eliminate existing wrinkles.

The study was conducted on 50 women with ages ranging from 30 to 50, who had received Botox® injections for two years (at four month intervals). The clinical trials have shown that the plastic surgery injections can be given at a 6 month interval rather than a 3 or 4 month interval which will significantly reduce the cost of the cosmetic surgery treatments, while keeping the overall results basically the same.
