Botox® is the brand name for a chemical derived from a neurotoxin known as botulinum toxin. Botox cosmetic does not cause poisoning.

Botox® is most effective in treating problem areas such as:
- Brow wrinkles from frowning
- Horizontal forehead lines from excessive eyebrow-raising
- Crow’s feet around the eyes from constant squinting or smiling
- Perioral lines, (the fine grooves that appear along the upper lip)
- Bunny lines (lines around the nose)
- Chin (for dimpling)
- Skin bands on the neck
- Down-turned corners of the mouth
- Botox® can also be used to decrease excessive sweating in the armpits and hands.

how does botox™ work?
How does it Work?
Botox® when injected by a medical professional, blocks the signal from the nerve to the muscle causing temporary paralysis.
The injected muscle is unable to contract or tighten as forcefully as before which causes the wrinkles to relax and soften.
It will take a few days for the muscles to relax fully and for wrinkles to soften, once the effects of Botox® wear off the lines begin to reappear; however, they are generally less noticeable because the muscles have been trained to relax.
