Botulinum toxin type A, such as Bocouture or Botox, is a naturally occurring protein that causes muscles to relax. It is the number one aesthetic procedure in the United Kingdom with thousands of patients receiving treatment every year. Muscle relaxing injections have been used safely and effectively for over 25 years.

Your skin is like a sheet of paper which over time creases from repetitive movement. Muscle relaxants will stop that movement, preventing future line formation and smoothing current shallow lines, however, they will not be able to remove an existing deep crease.

Muscle relaxants target dynamic lines. The most common areas for treating these are the forehead, frown lines, and smile lines.
