BOTOX® Cosmetic is a prescription medicine that is injected into the facial muscles to minimize wrinkles and achieve a smooth, relaxed and youthful appearance.
How BOTOX Works to Smooth Wrinkles
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a purified form of botulinum toxin type A that works by temporarily relaxing specific facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles. These are the lines that form from repeated expressions such as frowning, squinting, or raising the eyebrows.
When carefully injected into targeted muscles, BOTOX blocks the nerve signals that cause those muscles to contract. As the muscles relax, the overlying skin smooths out, reducing the appearance of forehead lines, frown lines (the “11s”), and crow’s feet. Over time, consistent treatments can also help prevent deeper lines from forming by limiting repetitive muscle movement.
The result is a refreshed, natural look. softer wrinkles and smoother skin, while still preserving your ability to express yourself naturally.
