The lines that appear between your brows (glabellar lines), along your forehead and around your eyes (crows feet) actually result from muscle movement and the passage of time. Underneath your skin, your facial muscles contract, causing a pleating of the overlying skin which results in unappealing frown lines, crows feet, and forehead lines. These lines often make us appear angry, worried and aged beyond our years.

After years of crinkling and wrinkling, these lines start to linger and can become more pronounced. For women, whose faces tend to be more animated than men's and whose skin is typically more delicate, these lines may appear exaggerated and become permanent.

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a simple, nonsurgical treatment that can temporarily and safely smooth these lines. A few tiny injections-and within days there's a noticeable improvement in your appearance. You will begin to look more rested, more refreshed. Results can last up to 4 months, perhaps longer with subsequent treatments. Results may vary.

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium, which reduces the activity of the muscles that cause those lines to form over time.
