Short for Botulinum Toxin, Botox (product: Botulinum) is a purified protein which is able to block overactive nerve impulses that trigger excessive muscle contractions. When injected into facial muscles, Botox helps facial muscles to relax temporarily, thus reducing movements and all kinds of facial lines, including wrinkles. Commonly treated areas are the crow's feet, forehead furrows, Glabella frown lines, mandible and jawline.

Botox is a neurotoxin, which when the substances target the nervous system, will prevent the release of acetylcholine, a chemical messenger released from the nerves that cause muscles to contract. When the signals from the nerves to the muscles are blocked, the injected muscle will relax, causing wrinkles to soften, and preventing new wrinkles from forming.

1. Examination will be conducted by doctor to determine the number of injections needed to fix the area. Normally, a minimum of 10 injections is needed but this depends on the area that needs to be fixed.
2. Botox will be injected into facial muscles of desired areas of the face.
3. The injected muscles will begin to relax, gradually smoothing the overlying skin.
