Botolinium toxin can also be used to elevate the brows, resulting in a more youthful appearance.

Botox Cosmetic is an injected substance made of botolinium toxin Type A, a purified protein derived from the bacteria Clostridium Botolinium. When injected into a facial muscle, it temporarily inactivates the muscle, essentially making the muscle so it can't contract and produce wrinkles, known as dynamic wrinkles. It is injected in minute doses to achieve an isolated effect, without spreading to other nearby muscles.

Muscle in the cheeks and jawline can become prominent, giving a wide faced appearance.

Pursing the lip while talking, whistling, smoking or drinking from a straw can contribute to the formation of vertical lip lines. This makes the area around the mouth appear much older. A small amount of Botox injected into the muscle of the upper lip can reduce the appearance of these lines, while maintaining facial expression.

Tightening and banding of the neck muscles can give an appearance of an aging neck and stress. Surgery is not always necessary at this point. The bands are caused by a tension in a muscle caused the platysma that serves no vital function. Botox injections can relax these muscular bands, giving the neck a smooth appearance without surgery.
