BOTOX® Cosmetic is an effective wrinkle treatment to quickly and easily reverse the signs of aging. What is BOTOX®? BOTOX® in Ankeny, Iowa is the first and only FDA-approved treatment to improve the appearance of frown lines, crows feet, and forehead lines.
Wrinkles result from a combination of cellular changes to our skin as we age, as well as repetitive muscle movements, such as frowning, smiling, and squinting.
BOTOX® is an injection that works beneath the skin’s surface and targets the underlying muscle activity that causes frown lines, crows feet and forehead lines. Botox® injections result in a temporary reduction in the activity of the muscles, thus a reduction in the appearance of the associated lines or wrinkles.

Botox® works by temporarily preventing contraction of the muscles. Essentially, Botox® causes the muscles that cause wrinkles to relax. Keeping the muscle relaxed with Botox and using quality skin care products and treatments can make existing wrinkles go away. Preventative treatment with Botox® can also be used to relax the muscles to keep wrinkles from forming in the first place.
