BOTOX®

Ask Us Anything?

What is BOTOX®

BOTOX® is a brand name for a purified protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. It can temporarily relax facial muscles and minimize fine lines and wrinkles when administered in modest, regulated doses.

What is BOTOX®

BOTOX® has a range of uses, both cosmetic and therapeutic.
  • Cosmetic uses of BOTOX® include reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the face, such as crow’s feet around the eyes, frown lines between the eyebrows, and forehead wrinkles. BOTOX® injections work by temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause these wrinkles, resulting in a smoother and more youthful appearance.
  • Therapeutic uses of BOTOX® include treating a variety of medical conditions, such as chronic migraines, excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), muscle stiffness and spasms (dystonia), overactive bladder, and even some forms of depression. In these cases, BOTOX® is injected into specific muscles or glands to block nerve signals and reduce muscle contractions.
    • When done correctly, BOTOX® can be a safe and effective way to achieve a more youthful and refreshed appearance. While BOTOX® is generally considered safe when used appropriately, it can have side effects and may not be suitable for everyone. It’s important to note that BOTOX® should only be administered by a trained licensed medical professional.
