BOTOX® Cosmetic is a highly purified protein that is injected into the muscles underneath the skin to relax the muscles that cause a variety of wrinkles. While this injectable can treat certain medical conditions like excessive sweating or migraines, its most commonly use is for cosmetic purposes. Many patients choose BOTOX® primarily to reduce wrinkles on the face and neck. In comparison to injectable fillers, this treatment is relatively painless, as the needle used is significantly finer.
