What is BOTOX® Cosmetic?

What causes  frown lines between the brows?

The lines that appear between your brows actually result from muscle movement and the passage of time. 
Two muscles are largely responsible for frown lines between the brows. When those muscles contract, they draw the brows together. As skin becomes less elastic over time, repeated frowning can result in those moderate to server lines between the brows. 

What is the difference between BOTOX® Cosmetic and fillers? 

Fillers mask the wrinkle by adding volume around the muscle with intradermal injections. BO­TOX® Cosmetic is intramuscular, blocking the chemicals that cause facial muscles to contract, thereby relaxing them. While there are many options available for fillers, BOTOX® Cosmetic is the only product of its type that affects the muscles that cause these wrinkles.
