Botulinum Toxin Type A (Botox Cosmetic) is a non-surgical aesthetic treatment for moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in people ages 18 to 65.  Botox works by reducing the contractions of the muscles that cause those persistent frown lines that have developed over time.  Generally the results last for up to 4 months.
