What Is BOTOX®?

BOTOX® is an injectable neuromodulator derived from purified botulinum toxin type A. It works by temporarily inhibiting the release of acetylcholine at targeted neuromuscular junctions, allowing facial muscles to relax and the overlying skin to smooth. FDA-approved for cosmetic use, BOTOX® is among the most trusted and frequently performed aesthetic procedures worldwide.

How Does Botox® Work?

The muscles of our face are responsible for facial expressions like frowning and smiling. As we age, the repeated contractions of these muscles along with other changes in the skin, result in the wrinkles that we see. When Botox® Cosmetic is injected into a muscle, that specific muscle relaxes and becomes unable to contract temporarily for 4-6 months, thereby eliminating its pull on the skin and softening the wrinkles over this muscle.

With continued treatments of Botox® in Beverly Hills, new wrinkle formation is also prevented as repetitive muscle contractions which deepen facial lines over time are blocked. Aside from being an anti-aging treatment reducing wrinkles, Botox® can be used to reshape and rejuvenate facial features by altering the balance of muscles. An example of this is lifting the eyebrow or the corners of the mouth.
