Botox

 

 

Botox is the trade name of the chemical Botulinum Toxin Type A. This naturally occurring chemical prevents muscles from contracting. It has been used in medical treatment for over 50 years for muscle spasm disorders such as eye squints and bladder spasms, often in much higher doses than those used in cosmetics.

 

Cosmetically it is used in small doses to relax facial muscles responsible for creasing the skin into lines and wrinkles, without appreciable effect on facial expression.
