BOTOX® Cosmetic, or botulinum toxin type
A, is a protein commonly used to non-surgically reduce or eliminate
the appearance of facial wrinkles. It is injected under the skin
into areas surrounding the eyes, forehead and mouth to smooth crow's
feet, frown and worry lines, and lines on the neck.
The injections
work by blocking nerve impulses, thus weakening muscles to relax
wrinkles and give the skin a rejuvenated look. BOTOX® Cosmetic
may also be useful for migraine headaches and excessive sweating in the palms or axillary areas. The procedure is quick and usually
performed in an examination room.
