Botox

Expression of the face occurs because small muscles pull on the skin, eyelids, corners of the mouth, etc. The muscle pull on the skin creates wrinkles, like the horizontal wrinkles on the forehead. Botox is injected into these muscles to stop the pull on the skin, decreasing or eliminating the wrinkling.
