What is Botox®?
Botox® is the trade name for a drug which is currently being used to successfully treat a variety of medical and cosmetic conditions. Botox® is derived from a bacteria called Clostidium Botulinum and is purified and converted into an injectable form. The most recently popular use for Botox® is for the treatment of facial wrinkles. This is a procedure where botulism toxin (Botox®) is injected very precisely into tiny facial muscles to improve the appearance of worry lines, frown lines, crow's feet, laugh lines and other "dynamic wrinkles". Dynamic wrinkles occur when the delicate muscles underlying the aging skin of our faces contract, such as when we smile, laugh or frown. Botox® works by weakening these specific facial muscles. After treatment, full results are usually seen within two weeks. The overlying skin remains smooth and unwrinkled while all other untreated facial muscles contract normally, allowing natural facial expression to be unaffected. Botox® is FDA approved.
In addition to wrinkle removal, there are also methods which have been developed to remedy the problem of overstimulated sweat glands, keeping underarms dry for months, as well as a variety of medical conditions such as contractures or spasmodic muscles.
