Most people start to see lines in their faces as they age, and the lines can begin to show at surprisingly young ages. This is natural and does not cause any physical harm, but if it is something that causes you concern, you have treatment options.
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a specialized formula that helps tackle three specific types of lines in the face: frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines.
Frown Lines
Many treatments try to smooth out skin to deal with frown lines. BOTOX Cosmetic takes a different approach. It tackles frown lines at the root cause.
Frowning and muscle contractions in your face can cause folds in the skin while the muscles are active (while you’re maintaining a frown). A single frown doesn’t do much, but over time, repeating these creases leads to the lines on your face.
BOTOX Cosmetic simply reduces the range of muscle contraction in the frown area. This reduction is temporary, but while your skin gets reprieve from active folding, it can bounce back, and the lines fade and reduce.
You can repeat the treatment as needed to maintain smooth features or allow the BOTOX Cosmetic effects to fade and restore full muscular range.
Crow’s Feet
BOTOX Cosmetic attacks crow’s feet in a similar manner. In this case, the lines form from muscle contractions around the eyes. In particular, squinting can lead to repeated folds that cause crow’s feet.
Targeted BOTOX Cosmetic treatments can hit the specific muscles related to crow’s feet. This does not inhibit general face function. Instead, it simply lowers the muscle crease in areas beyond the eyes.
You get the same benefit of restored, smoothed skin with few side effects to consider.
Forehead Lines
The third major focus for BOTOX Cosmetic looks at forehead lines. The muscles causing these folds are the ones you engage when you raise your eyebrows.
Again, the treatment does not completely disable eyebrow movement. Instead, it reduces the range of motion in muscle contractions in your forehead that happen to engage when you raise your eyebrows.
As with the other treatments, the limited motion allows the lines to fade, and with any BOTOX Cosmetic treatment, the effects fade over time, allowing you to choose your destiny as to whether you renew the treatment or leave it be.
