🔬 Mechanism of Action & Efficacy
Efficacy and Expected Effects
BOTULAX 100U is effective for the temporary improvement of moderate to severe glabellar lines (frown lines) in adults. It is also used for treating benign essential blepharospasm and helps to smooth dynamic wrinkles like crow's feet and forehead lines.
Neuromuscular Junction Blocking
The botulinum toxin type A blocks nerve signals to the targeted muscles, preventing them from contracting. This results in temporary muscle paralysis, which in turn relaxes and smooths the overlying skin.
