How glabellar lines are formed
Glabellar lines are the dynamic wrinkles between the brows caused by the
contraction of corrugator and/or procerus muscles.
Movement of corrugator and procerus muscles can cause the skin between the brows to crease. As skin becomes less elastic over time, repeated contraction of these muscles may create visible lines and wrinkles.
BOTOX® Cosmetic works on the muscles that cause glabellar lines
BOTOX® Cosmetic is injected directly into the corrugator and procerus
muscles, where it enters the nerve endings to block the release of
acetylcholine, the chemical that causes muscles to contract. Once the muscles
are at rest, skin becomes smoother.

Important Safety Information
Serious heart problems and serious allergic reactions have been reported rarely. If you think you are having an allergic reaction or other unusual symptoms, such as difficulty swallowing, speaking or breathing, call your doctor immediately. The most common side effects following injection include temporary eyelid droop and nausea. Localized pain, infection, inflammation, tenderness, swelling, redness, and/or bleeding/bruising may be associated with the injection. Patients with certain neuromuscular disorders such as ALS, myasthenia gravis, or Lambert-Eaton syndrome may be at increased risk of serious side effects.

Having a treatment with BOTOX® Cosmetic is one way that you can invest in your appearance. Talking with your physician will help determine if BOTOX® Cosmetic is right for you.
