BOTOX®

HOW BOTOX® COSMETIC WORKS

A combination of factors can cause facial lines, from cellular changes, to reduction of collagen, to damage caused by the sun or environment. Repeated muscle contractions from frowning, squinting, or raising eyebrows cause skin to furrow and fold, gradually resulting in the formation of facial lines. BOTOX® Cosmetic works beneath the surface and temporarily reduces the underlying muscle activity that causes moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead lines in adults – to help them look visibly smoother.

Indications

BOTOX® Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA) is indicated in adult patients for the temporary improvement in the appearance of:

• moderate to severe glabellar lines associated with corrugator and/or procerus muscle activity
• moderate to severe lateral canthal lines associated with orbicularis oculi activity
• moderate to severe forehead lines associated with frontalis activity
