How Botox® Cosmetic Works
Facial lines result from a combination of factors, including:
- Cellular changes
- Collagen reduction
- Damage caused by free radicals from sun and environmental exposure
However, one of the primary causes of facial lines is repeated muscle contractions from frowning, squinting, or raising eyebrows.
How It Works Beneath the Surface
- BOTOX® Cosmetic temporarily reduces the muscle activity underlying moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines, helping the skin appear smoother.
- It is also FDA-approved to temporarily improve moderate to severe vertical bands connecting the neck and jaw. These bands result from the contraction of the platysma muscle (a thin, superficial muscle covering the neck and extending over the jawline).
- Your specialist will inject BOTOX® Cosmetic into the platysma muscle to temporarily reduce its activity, improving the appearance of these bands.
