Botulinum toxin injection is a medical treatment that is specially used to help relax facial muscles and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This is a non-surgical treatment that helps to alter your appearance with little to no downtime after just one session.

The most common use of Botulinum toxin is for the cosmetic treatment of fine lines and wrinkles – often the most telling sign of age. Wrinkles and fine lines are caused by changes in the skin, around areas where muscles are overactive, for example, around the eyes and mouth.

Allergan is the most well-known brand of Botox on the market. It is FDA approved for the treatment of moderate to severe frown lines, forehead lines, and crow's feet. It is a prescription medicine for adults that is injected into muscles and used for a short period of time (temporary) to improve wrinkles by blocking signals from the nerves to the muscles.

Botulinum Toxin is a naturally occurring protein derived from the bacterium Clostridium Botulinum. The amount of toxin used in treatments is minimal and extremely safe. The Botulinum acts on the nerve endings found in the muscles rendering the muscles temporarily inactive thereby making the face appear softer, smoother and younger.
