Botox is a brand name for botulinum toxin and these injections block certain chemical signals from nerves, that cause muscles to contract. Botox injections are noted primarily for their ability to temporarily relax the facial muscles that cause wrinkles in the forehead and around the eyes.

Botox injections are used for both cosmetic and therapeutic treatments. Botox is a brand name for botulinum toxin, which blocks the nerves that contract muscles under the skin. Botulinum toxin is used in the treatment of an overactive bladder, urinary incontinence, chronic migraines, spasticity, neck spasms, excessive underarm sweating, eyelid spasms, crossed eyes, and drooling. Botox injections may also help prevent chronic migraines.

They are also used for the treatment of facial lines and wrinkles, which when injected into muscles temporarily improves the look of severe forehead lines, crow’s feet lines, and frown lines between the eyebrows in adults.
