What Is Botox® and How Does It Work?
Botox® is a prescription cosmetic neurotoxin that temporarily relaxes targeted facial muscles associated with dynamic wrinkles, the lines that form from repetitive expressions like smiling, squinting, and frowning. By reducing muscle activity in specific areas, treatments may help soften visible creases and reduce the appearance of deeper expression lines over time, with little to no downtime.
