Botulinum toxin type A (BTX/A) is a prescription muscle relaxant medicine which is injected with a very fine needle in muscles which cause dynamic fine lines and wrinkles through facial expressions over time. BTX/A injections relax the treated muscles temporarily and soften the fine lines and wrinkles. The achieved results require regular maintenance to preserve the results which may last longer with repeat treatments.
