What Is BOTOX®?
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a highly purified protein that temporarily relaxes the specific muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles, the lines that form when you frown, squint, or raise your brows. As those muscles relax, the skin above them smooths out. Wrinkle relaxers, also called neuromodulators or neurotoxins, are injectables that include BOTOX® Cosmetic and similar products.
BOTOX® Cosmetic is FDA-approved to temporarily improve frown lines between the brows, crow’s feet, forehead lines, and vertical neck bands. Because it works on muscle movement, it is most effective for lines caused by expression; deeper folds from volume loss usually respond better to dermal fillers.
