Botox

Botox is the brand name of a toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. In large amounts, this toxin can cause botulism, which you probably associate with food poisoning. Despite the fact that one of the most serious complications of botulism is paralysis, the medical community has found a way to put it to good use. Small, diluted amounts can be directly injected into specific muscles causing controlled weakening of the muscles. Used this way, Botox smoothes wrinkles and fines lines, giving the skin a younger appearance.

The Procedure

Your doctor will administer several tiny injections of Botox directly into the muscles of your face. Prior to injection, your doctor will determine where to administer the injections by examining your ability to move certain muscles in your brow area. The entire Botox treatment takes approximately 10 minutes and does not require anesthesia. Pain is usually minimal and brief.
