BOTOX TREATMENTS

Many people have heard of this miraculous treatment for wrinkles and expression lines, but what is Botox? It is actually the trade name for a substance injected into the skin which is known to inhibit muscle movement and prevent wrinkles developing or worsening. The name Botox or Botulinum toxin actually comes from the word “botulous” meaning sausage. This is because the substance is actually related to a naturally occurring poison, occasionally found at dangerous levels in bad meat products which can paralyze and kill. It has been described as “the most poisonous substance known” but certain varieties in minute purified doses have been discovered to actually perform a safe and useful function. Botox injections are now one of the most popular cosmetic treatments in the world   A treatment area is one of the following: vertical frown lines, crows feet, horizontal forehead lines.
