Close What Is Botox?
Over time, facial muscles create wrinkles and lines. The more these muscles contract, the more ingrained the lines can become.

By injecting small doses in just the right places, Botox® can dramatically reduce the appearance of lines on the forehead, in between the eyes, and crow’s feet.
