Botox LogoDear Valued Client,

You may have seen recent media coverage about Botox® Cosmetic (Botulinum Toxin Type A) and Botox®.  The media has misconstrued some data regarding Botox® and its off-label use to treat some children with cerebral palsy and made erroneous assumptions.  Unfortunately many of the recent stories have misrepresented the facts surrounding Botox® Cosmetic, so we wanted to take an opportunity to share some facts with you below.

 
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at the office.
 
Sincerely,
Alexander P. Ataii, M.D.
