What is Brotox?
Botox, or ‘Brotox’, is the only FDA-approved product to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the brows and crow’s feet lines in adults. Botox’s main ingredient is botulinum toxin A, which temporarily stops movement in the muscles it is injected into. Botox is most commonly used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles in the forehead, neck, and crow’s feet areas. It generally takes about 7-14 days for Botox to take full effect, and it lasts anywhere from 3-6 months.
