How Botox Works

A combination of factors can cause facial lines. It’s not just about the cellular changes that may occur, or reduction of collagen, or damage caused by free radicals from the sun and the 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 uses a safe and purified form of the botulinum toxin which is used to temporarily stop the muscles from contracting, this can prevent new wrinkles and smooths out current ones.
