WHAT IS BOTOX®?
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a medication which is injected directly into muscle tissue under the skin and is used to improve the appearance of moderate-to-severe frown lines between the eyebrows for a short period of time. It is a temporary but effective treatment.
BOTOX® Cosmetic is administered by a physician, dermatologist, or healthcare professional as a simple, nonsurgical treatment that’s injected into the muscle tissue between the eyebrows.
It works by obstructing nerve impulses to the injected muscles. This decreases muscle activity that creates moderate to severe lines to develop between the eyebrows.
WHY DOES SKIN AGE?
Aging skin, wrinkles, and fine lines result from a combination of factors. It’s not only about cellular changes, collagen depletion, loss of hormones, or damage caused by free radicals. The vertical lines which develop between your eyebrows – are caused by muscle contractions. Whenever you concentrate, squint, or frown, the muscles between your eyebrows contract, causing your skin to furrow and fold. After years of frequent contraction, those wrinkles, creases, and fine lines can linger even though the muscles are resting.
BOTOX® Cosmetic works by blocking nerve impulses to the injected muscles. This lessens muscle activity that creates the persistent wrinkles to form between the eyebrows.
FROWN LINES?

Frown lines are every woman’s worst nightmare. Whether they are 1’s (a single furrow), 11’s (double furrows) or 111’s (multiple ones), they make you look older – which is never a good thing.
Dermatologists agree that aging makes your skin more elastic, and when you combine that with many years spent squinting at papers or computer screens; focusing hard on the task at hand; or frowning, your skin will form creases that won’t go away. This is happens a lot between the eyes, where the skin is thinner and frown lines are more visible.
Thankfully, there’s a solution! A few small injections of BOTOX® Cosmetic from a dermatologist or other specially trained medical doctor can reduce the muscle activity in this area (as well as others) stopping these frown lines in their tracks. In a matter of minutes, your frown lines will go from very visible to hard to see.
