WHAT IS BOTOX?

Botox, short for botulinum toxin, is a neurotoxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. In medical settings, it is used for a variety of therapeutic and cosmetic purposes. Botox works by temporarily blocking nerve signals in the muscles where it’s injected, leading to muscle relaxation and a reduction in the over production of sweat from the sweat glands.
Botox is an FDA approved treatment for over 20 years and has become the most popular non-surgical method of improving one’s appearance and enhancing their features an example being non-surgical rhinoplasty.
