Botox

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a therapeutic muscle-relaxing agent derived from a bacterium called Clostridium Botulinum. Physicians have been utilizing BOTOX® Cosmetic for years as a cosmetic treatment for correcting visible signs of stress and aging.

The contractions and movements of our facial muscles are controlled by signals from the brain. BOTOX® Cosmetic simply prevents these muscles from allowing responses to such messages. As a result, the muscles relax and the overlying skin remains unwrinkled and smooth.

The effects usually last 3 to 4 months and fade away gradually. Following several treatments, the results may last 4 to 8 months or longer. Typically the effect is visible in 3 days. Maximum benefits are reached between 10 to 14 days.
