Botox is a medication that weakens muscle contractions that cause wrinkles to appear. It contains three main ingredients: botulinum toxin type A, human albumin, and sodium chloride. When injected into muscles, Botox blocks the nerve impulses that cause a particular muscle to contract, reducing the appearance of wrinkles. Botox can only reduce wrinkles in areas of the face that move, such as the frown lines between the eyebrows, forehead lines, and crow’s feet at the sides of the eyes. However, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved the use of Botox under the eyes for cosmetic purposes.
