Are repeated facial expressions starting to leave behind lines and wrinkles around your forehead, eyes, brows, or mouth?
At American Medical Center, BOTOX® Cosmetic is a trusted, FDA-approved injectable used to soften dynamic wrinkles—those caused by frequent muscle movements.
This quick, non-surgical treatment works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that trigger muscle contractions, allowing the overworked muscles to relax. The result is smoother, younger-looking skin with a naturally refreshed appearance.

How Is BOTOX® Cosmetic Injected?

A fine needle is used to deliver small doses of BOTOX® Cosmetic into specific facial muscles
