Description

Botox injection is a popular non-surgical wrinkle reduction procedure that can temporarily reduce or eliminate wrinkles in the upper third of the face, including forehead crease lines, frown lines between the eyes, crow's feet around the eyes, and thick bands in the neck. It can even be used for the purpose as a temporary brow lift. Studies have also suggested that Botox is also effective in relieving migraine headaches, excessive sweating (hyperhydrosis), and muscle spasms in the neck and eyes.

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a  purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium, which weakens and inactivates muscles that wrinkle the skin. When Botox is injected in extremely small doses directly into a specific muscle, it blocks the signals from the brain from reaching the muscle. As the muscle weakens, the skin overlying the muscle relaxes and the wrinkles caused by muscle contractions soften and often disappear. The effect can last from 4 to 5 months.
