What is Botox?

Botox is a cosmetic treatment that reduces the appearance of wrinkles by relaxing facial muscles. The active ingredient, botulinum toxin, is a neurotoxin protein also used in medicine and research. Botox can also be used to treat migraines and excessive sweating.

How Does Botox Work?

Botox works just beneath the skin’s surface – targeting specific muscles that create the furrows and lines on your face. It temporarily paralyzes or weakens the treated muscles, which prevents them from contracting and creating furrows. 

Botox treatments are a quick and convenient way to eliminate facial lines and wrinkles — without going under the knife. And it’s been a tried and true practice amongst medical providers for over 20 years. In fact, Botox is one of the most sought-after treatments in the world, with millions of patients seeking treatment every year.
