Treatment with botulinum type A (Botox) can relax the muscles that cause expression lines, thereby preventing wrinkles from forming and improving the appearance of existing wrinkles caused by facial expressions.
Botulinum type A can be used in a treatment called “facial shaping” to help improve asymmetry or other facial conditions that result from muscle action.
Botulinum type A can also be used to treat a condition called hyperhidrosis (excessive perspiration).
