What Is Botox?

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles and used to improve the look of worry lines, frown lines, crow’s feet, neck bands, jawlines, and laugh lines between the brows. These wrinkles occur as the muscles under the skin contract. This is a nonsurgical treatment that is injected directly into the muscles to temporarily weaken the facial muscles. It works by blocking nerve impulses to the injected muscles. This reduces muscle activity that causes moderate to severe lines to form. Botox® injections can also be used to raise a drooping brow or reverse a downward mouth. Botox® treatments for Hyperhidrosis is FDA-approved, this amazing treatment can dramatically reduce underarm moisture for up to a full year.
