Delicate muscles beneath the skin contract and cause the skin to fold when we make facial expressions. As the years go by, these folds form permanent creases that can deepen with age and often create a stressed appearance.

BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments offer individuals with dynamic wrinkles smoother skin and a well-rested appearance. Treatment involves the injection of a minuscule amount of botulinum, an FDA-approved substance that is now commonly referred to as BOTOX.

BOTOX® Cosmetic relaxes select muscles and limits their ability to contract. After treatment, the overlying skin lays flat and unwrinkled while the untreated facial muscles contract in a normal fashion, allowing normal facial expression to be unaffected.
