Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

The latest buzz in the battle against aging is Botox, a serum developed from the botulism bacteria; when injected it paralyzes facial muscles and temporarily erases forehead furrows, crows feet, laugh lines and even neck sags. Since the FDA approved the treatment in 2001, 1.6 million Americans have been needled. Kane, a Park Avenue plastic surgeon who was on the frontlines of Botox as a cosmetic-enhancer, extolls its benefits, warns against bogus treatments and botox parties, and fills the reader in with facts about pain ("Nearly every patient says the first injection is the roughest"), cost ("from about $500 to $1,500") and the length of effectiveness ("injections really work well for three months"). With plenty of before and after photographs, and with its straightforward, well-organized information, there's no wrinkle in Dr. Kane's comprehensive Botox bible-as long as you're a believer in the primacy of beauty. 8 full-color inserts

Product Description

The first and most comprehensive book on the only effective treatment for facial wrinkles and furrows.

By relaxing the facial muscles and suspending a patient's ability to frown, scowl, or forrow her forehead, Botox has become the most popular cosmetic medical treatment in the United States, according to The New York TImes. The Botox Book gives solid answers to common questiosn about the procedure, such as:

- does it hurt?
- what parts of the face does it work best on?
- how can I find a doctor who understands how to use Botox properly and subtly?
- will my face "freeze"?
- how long do the effects last?

As the doctor who pioneered the use of Botox for cosmetic purposes over ten years ago, Dr. Kane has done an extraordinary amout of clinical research on the effects of Botox on the face. The Botox Book draws on that research to explore the use of Botox to postpone or even replace surgical procedures such as brow and neck lifts. Dr. Kane also demonstrates how skin not subjected ot constant wrinkling can renew and repair itself, leaving a patient's face fresher than before Botox treatments.

The Botox Book is the definitive guide to help you decide whether the procedure is right for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Changed my perspective completely!!!, October 17, 2002
By Melissa Miller (Delray Beach, Florida) - See all my reviews
Although I wear makeup and do focus on my appearance, I have never thought that I would "buy into" any kind of plastic surgury - although I have to admit that as a woman over forty I have been a bit curious. I came across this book by accident while I was looking for a book on excercise and starting thumbing through it, just to see what the fuss was about. When I saw the before and after pictures - wow! And they aren't of models or beautiful people -- just everyday people like you see anywhere. Of course, I bought the book and read it cover to cover. The author speaks plainly - no fancy medical terms or hollywood buzz-words. It was like having him in your living room explaining how everything works personally, one-on-one. I'm not quite ready to make an appointment with my local doctor yet, but don't be surprised if you see me with visibly less wrinkles come Christmas!! This book is really great!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Botox Book You'll Ever Read, September 4, 2002
By Lauren Davidson (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This book explains it all. It sorts out all the bits and pieces one has heard about this wonderful new technique. A technique which enables us to at least slow down the aging clock if not turn it back just a subtle bit at a time! I now feel confident enough to make that phone call to Dr. Kane and get started! Thank you Dr.Kane!

5.0 out of 5 stars Forget the rest this is the Botox bible!, September 6, 2002
By John Peter Dionis (Shelton, CT United States) - See all my reviews
Dr. Kane conveys his vast knowledge of everything to do with botox with such clarity that upon completeing the book the reader has every question answered. Being a public speaker, I know that a person understands a subject top the extent to which they can teach it. Dr. Kane has been a student of "His" breakthrough process for over a decade and you will agree that there isn't anyone on the planet who knows more about Botox. There are more books and information coming out everyday by people who are trying to cash in on this rapidly growing field but make sure you read this one! Some people like to read books by skipping around. I think it's best to let Dr. Kane take you through step by step his way, so you can truly benefit from his expertise. I'm sure you will agree, even if you aren't planning on using Botox, it's a fascinating read!
