A Botox® cosmetic procedure is actually the trade name of Botulinum Toxin Type A, a purified toxin produced by the bacterium clostridium botulinum. Though it doesn't sound very pleasant, the procedure is a great way to soften or erase the wrinkles and fine lines that can accelerate the appearance of aging.
Very low doses of Botox are administered via a few tiny injections directly into overactive muscles that cause lines to form. Botox gently blocks the transmission of nerve impulses to the injected sites and prevents the muscles from contracting and forming a crease or a wrinkle. This is a highly effective and safe way to treat the wrinkles located between the brows, and has been shown to soften and reduce crows feet, forehead wrinkles, and the neck line.
Although it is technically a toxin, Botox has been used safely by ophthalmologists forover 10 years and has been used for wrinkle therapy since the early 1990's, with no serious side effects documented.
