Botox®/Xeomin® is a natural and purified protein that relaxes the muscles by blocking nerve impulses connected to the tiny facial muscles related to expression. These muscles are responsible for expression wrinkles such as crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead lines. Over time, these wrinkles become more prominent due to gravity and general aging. With a few tiny injections, Botox®/Xeomin® blocks the release of acetylcholine, the chemical that causes muscles to contract. Once the muscles are at rest, the skin becomes smoother, creating a more natural and relaxed appearance. Botox®/Xeomin® are both FDA approved for the treatment of moderate to severe frown lines in facial wrinkles, facial creases, and in between the eyebrows.
